Another one

We had another pregnancy announcement at playgroup today. I swear there is something in the water. The neat thing about this one is it's a friend who did IVF so I know she was pretty anxious and hormonal (poor thing said she'd put on 20 pounds just due to the hormone treatments). She's been so open about the whole thing that I've been asking tons of questions. Fascinating what biotechnology and the Shady Grove Fertility Clinic can do for you. They run the ads on the radio all the time so it's interesting to hear a first hand account. It makes me feel very fortunate that it's not something we had go through. Her daughter is beautiful and perfect, too, so it's amazing to think that if it weren't for science, she wouldn't be here today. I know some religions, particularly the Catholics, are really against this kind of stuff, but how can they deny the presence of God in science when the result is perfectly healthy children born to parents who love them?
