So through a simple Status Update on Facebook by a friend, Fatima, a furious, heated conversation was unleashed. Who has it better, moms or dads? Men and women alike rallied on both sides, battlelines were drawn, emotions ran high, tensions rose comparable to the Cold War days. Below are my thoughts based on my experience.

10:21 AM  -  We are currently at the hospital while Monica is getting checked out.   She is having contractions every two to four minutes.  I’m running a quick test run on the live streaming to prepare for the actual live streaming.
