Randi, I had to laugh when I read about pulling out the "Hoover". I was never so mad as I was when I was in the middle of hard labor with Helen, and after 3 hours of "pushing", the doctor said he was going to do the Hoover Maneuver (the proper name for it is vacuum extraction )! OMG!!!! I was furious because my husband had the nerve to laugh his head off!!!!!! I like your kind of "Hoover Maneuver" much better! Glad it worked! (It worked for Helen and me, too, and I finally got that baby )

Fister's report is terrific! Sorry he was so terrified that he did the throw up thing, but it is a small price to pay, I guess, for knowing that he is healthy!

A new Fister picture would be nice, when you have the chance. (Hint, Hint)
