I get it that some people can’t stand the sight of blood or become nauseous over bodily fluids, but check out this year’s winner of the FAILED DAD AWARD!…
A woman in Australia named Deanne Fraser recently woke up in the middle of the night after her water broke, and knew she couldn’t get to a hospital in time. Luckily, her boyfriend was there. But unfortunately, he didn’t handle it too well. His name is Tim Evans.Deanne was talking to the dispatcher when he told her to put Tim on the phone, so he could walk him through the delivery. Then as soon as he started giving instructions, Tim said he was too GROSSED OUT, and thought he might puke. So he handed the phone back and LEFT THE HOUSE!! He ended up running to get his sister, who lives down the street. But by the time they got back, the baby was born. Thankfully, Deanne and the child are both fine. But she says it was so scary, she might not want to have any more children. In case you’re wondering, Deanne and Tim are still together. He can turn in his ‘Man Card’ anytime now.
I had the opportunity to help a good friend of mine years ago when she was pregnant. The father of her child was not able to be present, so I stepped in an went through the lamaze classes, and even cut the cord when her baby was delivered! I’ll admit, baby delivery is not for the faint of heart, but it is a miracle of life! I took a deep breath and realized it was SHOW TIME! The biggest gross factor came when I was cutting the cord and blood actually squirted into my eye! Not fast forward to April of 2016, when my wife Jenni and I will be expecting our first child. I like that I’ve already had some training and am ready for another shot in the delivery room…THIS time, even more special because it will be my child.
