I just wanted to say another "cheers" for a great reply, and this one is especially encouraging to me because of the related personal experience bit and the generous dose of humor! I love to read your responses here for these reasons and more. You sound like such a wonderful doctor. Anyway, I just also wanted to say congratulations to you for your expected new family member, and is this your first one?

every expectant parent here, congrats as well!)
