Does caesarean have anything to do with Caesar?

I mean surely right?

So the Dr. just came by and did nefarious things to my wife’s nether regions only to find no change since a billion hours ago. C-section ho! I think going into this whole experience we were like “ugh no c-section” but guys, lbh over here. It’s been like 20 hours. We are pretty tired. Also! Val has a svelte pelvis.

So we are in the c-section queue, word on the street is babby by 2pm.

Also: the Dr. said “at least this way your bottom will be preserved.”

I know Val is very tired at this point. She is in wonderful hands, which I know you both know. I will continue my prayers and can’t wait unitl 2 pm to hear about/see the newest addition.

the answer is apparently: yes. this is the best part:

“The German term has also been imported into Japanese (帝王切開) and Korean (제왕 절개, 帝王 切開), both literally meaning “emperor incision.” The South Slavic term is carski rez, which literally means imperial cut.”

..::THE EMPEROR’S INCISION::..

good luck! although apparently it has already happened!
