This is ...First of all, no one drank the alcohol?!! This is shocking. Because I'm pretty sure I consumed all sorts of alcohol at baby showers. Then again, perhaps you did not have any infertiles in the crowd. ;) Second, awesome name. One of my all-time faves, in fact. Nice work, guys. And finally, I really struggle with the face showing on here. My thinking is this. Unless they develop facial recognition internet searches for the public, I'm safe. I was super weird about it at first, but now I feel much more comfortable. It helps that I never mention the name of the city I live in or my actual job title. And I figure that if a client happened to stumble on this blog, they would be stumbling because they, too, were struggling with infertility. And I guess, while far from ideal, that wouldn't be the end of the world, I suppose.

And I'm impressed you're revealing the name before he's born -- I think it's a GREAT choice, by the way. Just hope nobody tries to criticize it (some weirdos feel like this is a legit thing to do, like it's still open for debate).

Grats on having a boy, I'm glad you didn't lose him in Mexico, I like that you've switched to a birthing center (I'd have considered the same, but Illinois has no birthing centers), and glad you had a lovely shower. <br /><br />Really loved your thoughts on <em>The Business of Being Born</em>. We think a lot alike in that respect. I watched the documentary and read the accompanying book, and it really bothered me that Lake and Epstein harp on how doctors need to practice informed consent, then don't provide so much as a single endnote to document any of their claims. It's an eye-opening documentary, but it is propagandistic and one-sided. <br /><br />Hope you continue to have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Dave and I were nosy-ing around the gift bags to see what was in them so we got some more ideas, hahaha. DEFINITELY copying your Mamas and Papas Stroller Lion!<br /><br />Was such a lovely day- I didn't even notice there wasn't any grass under our feet. And the food was AMAZING. We tried to go for breakfast the other week but it was closed on Mondays.
