Disclosing your costs to potential customers......good idea?

Wow.......good luck to your daughter, Gretch!

What a day. Slept 1 1/2 hrs last nite. Knowing I was in for a long haul I stopped watching MSu football at half time and they ended beating IOWA!!!!!!! At hospital from 4 am to 10 (my job was to help with the delivery and keep son -in-law calm!!!!), then to their house to show the sibs their new brother pics and give them stuffed animals from their new brother, , back to craft sale"Had a friend that could "man the fort" , closed up at 4, tore down, took stuff to sell at the MSU vet clinic, back to hospital . Home at 8 pm. Having a glass of wine or 3 before eating and crashing-but am still on a high. When Liz dilated to 10 my wonderful athletic daughter pushed that little sucker out (10 days early and 7# 11 oz) in 4 sieges of pushes in 13 minutes.God, she was good, and son-in-law was good too!!! Any father or mother reading this will be envious. All is well and healthy and the greatest xmas present I could have. Haven't quite figured out how to get cell pics to the forum without alot of gymnastics but may once I figure out something, I am happy (and haven't finished the wine yet!!!!)Gretch

Congratulations, Gretch and daughter!

I can sense the pride in your post! :D
