Back contractions began to hit my wife really bad almost 20 minutes into the movie and not knowing what was really happening while also trying to lose the feeling of being impatient we sat through the entire movie getting though it while i rubbed my wives back.

I have found that there is no real way to know if you 're actually ready to become a parent, but to just give your all give your child as much love as possible with every second you have with them so that you can leave a loving and lasting impression on them
