Hurray for dad! But I have to admitt that I am more than a little irritated by the press's headline! It wasn't a "planned home birth" and if you just read the headline and the highlights they are making it sound like it was a planned home birth gone bad.

What a cute story :) Did you see the related headline in the middle of the story about the dog following the toddler out on the roof? That is cute too!
