I remember that I just kept telling her that if I could go through all this in her place that I would. She really appreciated that at the time. :)

Now, be honest did you really mean it? ;-)

I was with my wife for the birth of our children and I wouldn't want to go through what she went through.

In all honesty, "some" part of me might have meant it before the first one. After seeing the first one, NO part of me could have meant it for the second. (But at that time I was in law school, so I think I could have been practicing my craft a little. :)

Anyway, there is one side note that I will never forget about the first time, when I had absolutely no clue what to expect. As I was watching and "coaching", and at the critical time, I couldn't help but think of a pro football game I once saw. The announcer, probably John Madden, was commenting on endless replays of a particularly grizzly injury that had just happened on the field. He said : "The human body doesn't go like that". :)
