First Day Back at Work

What a drag, man.

Very happy to be a freelancer though, I don't have to do a 9 to 5 every day.

We are very lucky and blessed to have both of us home for the most part over the next 3 months.

I was speaking to Grandma Joanne last night and she said that my father went right back to work an hour or two after I was born. He didn't get any time off.

They also knocked her out just as I was being delivered and robbed her of the experience of being conscious as she gave birth.

Thank God our medical establishment has changed since then but there are still miles to go before things are right concerning giving birth in this country.

Enough of my soapbox, this is supposed to be Toren's page!

With the wonders of modern technology, I was able to have a video call to my wife and baby and have lunch with them.

Pretty cool!

  1. They knocked my grandma out too....all four times! With the last one, she asked to be awake, but the doc said, "night, night!"

    So sad. :(

  2. They knocked Brian's mom out too. Really sick. Have you seen The Business of Being Born? Toren is the cutest!
