straight shooting from a freaked-out, first-time father

Classy
Doctors visit Version 7.0:
Just got home from childbirth class. . . very enlightening (and startling). The good: the delivery rooms have mountain views (of the ski run Born Free) and jacuzzi baths. The bad: learning about the intense part of labor called "transition" where the mom makes this Jekyll to Hyde switch, gets angry, hates life and her husband. The ugly: watching videos of women giving birth (why show the placenta???)
Brux wonders what's in there:
I can't wait to take him "out to the ballgame". Is this summer too soon for a father / son trip to Coors Field? How 'bout some peanuts and Crackerjacks?
Love the picture of Brux smelling the baby or maybe he's talking to him. Brux will totally know the little man when he meet's him and will probably be protective of him.
I hope you guys are doing well! Keep hanging in there Karah ... you, too, Dave.
