When I was about 10, my veterinarian dad took me to the Cornell Univ. pig barns. I remember dozens of little piggies being born (probably more like ten or so). I remember it like it was just this a.m.<BR/><BR/>I have had 2 girls. Been there, done that, and have the frown lines to prove it! But I'm with you -- I so don't want to ever have another baby.
