Minnesota woman gives birth in bathroom - for the second time
, Associated Press
ST. CLOUD, Minn. * A central Minnesota mother has twice given birth
in unexpected spots.
Jessica Reed, a nurse at the VA Medical Center in St. Cloud, gave
birth to her daughter Faith Sunday in the women's bathroom in the
middle of her shift. An emergency medical technician delivered the
healthy, 7-pound, 11-ounce girl. Faith is Reed's fourth child and came
a month early.
It was the second bathroom birth for the 26-year-old Reed. She gave
birth to her son Seth in her bathroom at home, where her 19-year-old
sister delivered the baby with the aid of a 911 dispatcher 15 months
ago.
When Reed learned she was going to have another baby in the bathroom,
she said s! he wasn't upset or dismayed. In her words: "It's gotta be
done, just go with the flow."

Yet another reason to oppose unisex bathrooms
A no-labor labor! Not a bad deal!
Speaking of clubs...Mom and Dad were at one of their fav. places last night (McCarthy's) had dinner and stayed for the entertainment, they said is was very good...check it out at www.hotrodlive.com
Did you guys see the newsstory about the 12-year-old in Miami who did an experiment...she collected ice from the self-serve machines at 5 restaurants, got ice from the drive-thrus, and collected water samples from the toilets at those same restaurants and checked them all for E. Coli bacteria (fecal bacteria). At all 5 restaurants, the toilet water was the cleanest. Yum.
The old farmer had a large pond in the back, fixed up nicely; picnic tables, barbecue pit, horseshoe courts, along with some apple and peach trees. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built.
One evening, the old guy decided to go down to the pond and look it over. He hadn't been there for a while. He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.
As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny dipping in his pond. As he approached, he made the women aware of his presence.
At once, they all went to the deep end.
One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave."
The old man frowned, "I did not come down here to watch you young ladies swim naked, or to make you get out of the pond naked."
Holding up the bucket, he said, "I'm here to feed the alligator."
Hey, does anyone have a picture of Pete and Mely we can use to coax them out of hiding?
My OBGYN induced labor on me for Braden and Ty to prevent me from giving birth in unexpected places. It was also convenient for him and Ryan, because they could plan the birth in between their respective fishing tournaments...
true story.
you know how every now and then you come across a dollar bill with writing on it? i got one today that says 'i will no longer do the devils wishes.' strange. does that mean the writer equates money with the devil?
Frank, that was my dollar. give it back.
i already gave it to chuck norris.
Emily~
Say, I sent you some emails and wanted to make sure it is working. No big deal if you haven't had time to respond...just, wanted to make sure I was sending it to the right address. Let me knoe. (smile)
Love, Nance.
OK everyone, our next post is...
LAS VEGAS!
I am content with this. THe job will be intersting for Scott. He will be on the Joint Terrorism Task Force, or the JTTF for those of you who like acronyms. I wonder if he will be involved in any illegal wiretappings. He may have to monitor this site closely. Another plus, cost of housing in LV is much cheaper than cost of housing in LA. I just hope I don't blow Jude's college money at Bally's. HA HA, as if we had a substantial amount saved.
THis is all unofficial, but this time it looks for sure. So, if anyone wants to go to Vegas, you know you'll have a place to stay.
hey tom,
after we move to Vegas, just let me know when you want me to get the tickets for the Celine Dion show.
I can't believe you'll be in VEGAS! At least we can visit on the cheap. I hope you're ready for lots of visitors.... or at least me.
That is great about the housing. Viva Las Vegas, Baby!
so will Scott be going undercover as an Elvis impersonator? because that would be AWESOME.
and now Viva Las Vegas is running through my head....
WooHoo Vegas...I LOVE (well, like) Celine Dion!
Make sure you find a good sitter that will be equipped to handle FOUR boys!
Of course, Dee will tell me that she has to come too...if we are gonna bring her, "Raby." Yes, I said...Raby...not, baby. Ugh.
Good for you guys!
I watched a TV special about people who board an unmarked jet at Las Vegas airport to go work at Area 51. Could Scott give us the scoop on these illegal aliens?
Em, they're supposed to have great schools there too because of the huge tax base. I think it's supposed to be a pretty great place to live.
Wyeth has just passed 49... yay. I'm perhaps by days end we'll be back up over 50.
P
Pat-Does this blog cost $? could you break out a bill to the various participants based on words posted?
Yes you all owe me lots of cash. Immediately. It is not the word count that is important, but the import. And I Decide.
Will you accept gopher carcasses in payment and, if so, what is your conversion rate. If too high, I'll just go somewhere else. I'm assuming I owe lotsa money if your billing is value-weighted as my posts usually contain weighty insights. Please let my know asap so I can ship off the carcasses in payment. I DON'T want this to linger as they'll shed their winter coats and then I'll have to pay for peanuts or bubble wrap or something.
Or I guess, in honor of Vegas and all, I'd rock-paper-scissors you double or nothing on the blog bill.
Nance, What is Raby short for?
Yeah Las Vegas! That'll be fun. I was hoping I could go my whole life without being winthin schreeching distance of Celine Dion. Alas, it was not meant to be.
She was on the view this morning. How can anyone be so barfy? Maybe Chuck Norris will have a kickass show there.
Anon...You were watching The View? By the way, Celine and Emily can be friends because they each are the youngest of 14 kids! (maybe they have a blog, but it would be in that nasty French tongue) I think Las Vegas will be great, flights are so cheap. Elton John, here I come!
i think all adult males residing in Vegas are required by city ordinance to wear pinkie rings, so you'd better get Scott set up.
Emily, pack your purple sequin stretch pants and big feathery cowboy hat.
If anyone actually owns purple sequin stretch pants it's time to fess up.
How is Jude?
yes, Emily, we will have to find you a Bedazzler so you can update your wardrobe to Las Vegas standards....
Duh, I'm tired to all this attention Chuck Norris is getting. I was the one who taught him how to round house kick...well I taught him how to dance and he just adapted the around-the-world-step-kick I taught him and changed the name so it's more catchy. He's just mad because they edited him from Dirty Dancing because his bright red beard is so distracting.(He was really supposed to be the one who stole the wallets)
Few people know that no one really puts Baby in the corner because she will have to round house kick her way out.
I heard the SIgfried and ROy are thinking of using groundhogs in their show since Roy was mauled by the tiger. Tom, do you know the latest on Sigfried and Roy?
Tomas, let me...Zey are fine! Enuf, Enuf about Roy, I luv him, yes! But I have ze needs too! LOOK AT ME, I am still pretty, I am not mauled by ze tigers. STUPID, STUPID MAN...I luv zo much...I tell him..Emily and Scott are coming, he smile through tiger ripped lips. He say Scott iz za nice man. He HAPPY!
Are the Laplanders any good at the summer olympics? You think they'd be pretty good at track.
Hey Tom,
Do you know a guy from Briar Cliff named J.C. Mienke(Menke) He is Ellen's drivers ed tacher. Is she safe to drive alone with him? He says he remembers you and Pete. Is that a good thing?
Monica
Ellen is old enough to drive?????
She'll be 15 next month.
Monica...find out what J.C. stands for before you let her ride with him!
Tell Ellen that if he looks at her and says "So, are you... cool?" she should say no.
When big Ellen was in driver's ed I had to ride along on a make-up lesson so she wouldn't be alone with the teacher in the car. Whenever she approached an intersection or a crowded place or whenever it got a little dicey, he would unconsciously hum in a high, wavering falsetto in between saying in a super calm voice things like, "OK, hon, you're going to want to get out of the way of that semi..." I'm sure he wasn't even aware he did it, but I was sitting in the back seat trying not to crack up. Ask Ellen if her teacher hums.
I'm sure she appreciates being called "Big Ellen". Maybe we should call her "Ellen the Elder".
Big Beef. Remember?
I think we'd all agree I have huge muscles, so I'm okay with Big Ellen
Big Ellen, just don't take any rides from Large Marge.
Big Beef!!! For some reason Ty used to call Braden "Okey". He has the same big brown eyes rimmed with impossible lashes that Ellen had as a baby. Whenever he called Braden Okey it would conjure memories of Ellen insisting we call her Big Beef. She was so stubborn. Where did she get her stubborn streak from?
Duh. You ever met her dad?
