Chris: Thank you for your note. Hearing about your Dad actually made me feel better. I was not at the time, but over the years, I have become embarrassed that I almost missed all of my twins' birth. It makes me wonder sometimes how we can criticize so harshly things that happened to ourselves and others in the past. Things and expectations certainly do change. Also, thank you for reading. Paul
Thanks, I enjoy the historical perspective. Born in '76 myself and to imagine ultrasound was just barely a thing that we now take for granted. My dad, a truck driver, was out of town for all three of his son's births and just today my coworkers were discussing the parental leave for the newer father amoungst us. 5 weeks at full pay, why wouldn't you?! The times have certianly changed.
