   Angus, the overwhelming paranoia last at least 26 years, but that’s all the experience I have had with you, so it may be longer than that; but at least now you know why I always nixed those trips to Southeastern Europe.

   hi ang-ang (and sarah!)

   as the parent of a newly turned 13 year old, i can assure you of this: the overwhelming paranonia does not pass when they reach 13 — in fact, it gets just a tad worse! do you ever stop worrying? no… that’s why parenting is a 24/7 for life job… (something they neglect to cover in lamaze class. ah well…).

   but here’s the flip side: it is the most amazing, wonderous journey you will ever take. so hang on, catch the wave and enjoy – it is going to be the best ride you could ever take.

   congrats on the arrival of pru – she is adorable and we cannot wait to meet her! and fyi, sleep when the baby sleeps.

   lol,hugs and kisses,
   gac

   The fear never leaves, but it changes. It goes from “is she suffocating in that blanket?” to “how many germs are on that (fill in the blank) she just put in her mouth?”

   Depends on which child and probably how close together. We’re much more relaxed about the third than we were about the first. I think this is heightened by the fact that they arrived in rapid 2004, 2006, 2007 succession.

   What’s remarkable is the degree to which they communicate with you, if you pay attention.
