It's better than TLC in here

Today we had surprise babies x 2!

Mom number one discovered she was pregnant, with a full-term baby, when her water broke during 5th period math. I give this one leeway because it was her first pregnancy and she was essentially going through puberty and could have mistaken the signs. And mad props to her for realizing that this wasn't a normal occurance and making it to the school nurse before the baby actually came out (which happened in the hallway on the way into the ER).

Mom number two (a mother of 4) discovered she was pregnant. . . again. . . when she felt the urge to go to the bathroom, did so, stood up, and there was a baby in the toilet.

As a 6 month pregnant woman myself, who feels as though her uterus is literally going to explode at any moment, that is if the child doesn't kick through my rib cage first, I find this phenomenon remarkably difficult to comprehend.

Comforting though that apparently delivering a baby is indistinguishable from mild constipation. :-)
