My birth mother claims she was raped, and I was the product. She said she hated every day of her pregnancy. She loathed it. She probably would have had an abortion today. And in my opinion would have every right to one. I don't think she glowed a bit. Further the pregnancy resulted in some health problems that caused her to need a hysterectomy the year after I was born- again, no glowing there. My adoptive mother had nothing but pregnancies ending in miscarriages. I don't think she glowed either. Reproduction is a messy chancy business even under good circumstances- and under bad circumstances it sucks.

It's hard for me to think about it logically too Rambi. Last night the baby had a bad fever and woke at 3am not able to sleep. So I took her to the cool bath and let mom rest. Sitting in the bath naked with such a small creature whimpering in discomfort depending on me, gave me all kinds of strong feelings. The kind, as men, we rarely talk about but share only within ourselves. The secret private time, when everything is clear. As she calmed herself down and slowly accepted the cooling water being poured on her, I felt a deep spiritual connectedness. This was my baby, and she needed me. Only two people on earth could have made her feel better. And I was thankful to be one of them. Sarah has taught me all kinds of new lessons in life. We were spoiled by the first two children. Rarely sick, they seemed to do everything so easily. But little Sarah...she seems to catch every cold that comes around, doesn't eat enough, can't keep food down and is so small. How can they be so different and yet so alike? So yes, I guess I am a romantic regarding these things. Maybe it's because I feel like I'm right in the throws of it all now. Does it ever change Penni. Will they always cast such a spell? How do parents, like Stevens friend, deal with a sudden death? It must be just awful. Ryan turns seven tomorrow. We're having the party at a local gymnastics center. That should wear those little buggers out! Can't believe we never thought of that one before. :-) I hope your college search for Ammo works out as well as CW's did. Michael
