so, i've got news.

A baby is being born right now...maybe.
She's on her way at the least.
Being my brother's child, she's more important than the thousands of other babies also being born right now.

And how fitting that while I was just at the gym, there was a special episode of "The Drs" about pregnancy and child birth. (this isn't a show i've ever watched, or will ever watch again. it's essentially a talkshow but with guest doctors who talk about what they know to strangers asking them for their knowledge.) Of course they were primarily scaring the poop out of the pregnant woman consulting them...telling her it would be painful no matter what, and of course the two doctors had to get in a petty debate over whose opinion was better...but still, it was an interesting coincidence.

However it happens, I respect Leila and every other woman who is going through or has gone through child birth. Because it sounds like quite the ordeal.
