Sorry. I'm not on the right computer. But I did find this interesting note about Katie Holmes's birthing plans for the TomKat (I know it's stupid just like Bennifer, but catchy like calling South Congress - SoCo) babe. You might wonder what I was doing searching the web for Katie Holmes. Well, I was looking for pictures of pregnant Katies because she looked fat on a clip I saw on Entertainment Tonight or some other trashy show. I am intrigued when famous people get fat, and I've been watching way too much TV.
Anyways, while I was seaching I cam across the article below, and had to chuckle because I went through that whole childbirthing thingamabooper - sorta. I wonder if someone will be able to inform the public if Katie screams for an epidural. Can I get a what-what for the paparazzi?
Also what I learned from a trashy celeb show - there is a store called Bling-Bling Baby, which makes glitzy pacifiers with Swavorski crystals. I like that it's called Bling-Bling Baby, I kinda wish I'd come up with the name. Click for more info on the term Bling-Bling.

Katie Holmes' mission impossible will be giving birth without painkillers - or screaming. That's because her fiancé, "Mission Impossible" star Tom Cruise, is a Scientologist. Practitioners of Scientology are against drugs but insist on "silent birth" because they believe it's traumatic for babies to hear their mothers groan or cry. "Maintain silence in the presence of birth to save the sanity of the mother and the child and safeguard the home to which they will go," church founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote in his best-selling "Dianetics." That's easier to preach than practice. Another famous Scientologist, actress Kelly Preston, told Redbook magazine in 2000 that she screamed for an epidural while giving birth at home to daughter Ella. But her husband, actor John Travolta, who is also a Scientologist, didn't have time to drive Preston to the hospital. "It got hard-core at the end because she was big," Preston said of her 13-hour ordeal. Travolta later described it as a "beautiful, still experience that lovingly brings a child into the world without screaming or talking." Of course, he didn't have the baby. Scientologists also favor seven days of silence for newborns so their first week on Earth is trauma-free. But this has run afoul of state-mandated blood tests, which require at least a pinprick.
