Feh. I wrote a nice tasty post and the blog ate it. =(

I'll rewrite, but with brevity this time. =)

Once more, a big hearty congrats to you guys!

I feel a little responsible that I wasn't a little more vocal about the pregnancy/birthing process and about doctors in general, but I didn't want to be one of "those" people who meddle and tell you your business.. if that makes sense. By and large and with rare exception, doctors are covering their asses and making assumptive leaps of logic towards incorrect conclusions, sprinkled with just enough education and fear mongering to get their patients to spend lots of money "just to make sure". The fact is that about 80-90% of all initial diagnosis of serious illness are wrong. Second diagnosis does a little better at about 50-60%.

I'm sorry the lead-up experience was crappy, but that memory will fade and be replaced with all the laughing and poopy diapers, promise. =)

Semi-related note: My sister in law showed up last night with their new little one (3 months) and it was astonishing to see her next to Haylee, who looked like a giant in comparison. It was really shocking. When you see someone/something every day and they are growing millimeter by millimeter you don't really get the sense of scale and growth. But, that sure hit it home.

Can't wait to come down and visit! Hopefully in the next couple of months we'll be able to steal a long weekend and come down.
