>>>After 72 hours of induced labor, my wife had a C-section. Mikhaila was born on 1/22/99 7 lb 2 oz and 19 1/2 in. I don't think I've ever been so tired. I think I got about 6 hours in 3 days.

>Actually, it has been a beautiful experience. I don't think I've ever been happier.

With our first, my Wife was in IC for five days after. Babyboy was 4 wks premature. Still after all that, the best description I ever came up with was-
Take all your best Christmas's, all your best Birthdays, and all your other GREAT days and roll them into one. That rolled up day of great days would be like the worst day of praying to the porcelin god, in comparison.

He is 15 now going on 35 and I still would not take $1 Million for him, but at this point I'm not sure I would spend the few extra dollars to buy the replacement insurance. :)
