Hi folks, Well, it’s done. Last Friday at 8 am. The traditional procedure went pretty smoothly. To prep, the doc asked me to shave, and wash with Hibiclens soap (the same kinda soap surgeons use to scrub). He also prescribed me a Valium to take beforehand.

From early on in my wife’s third pregnancy we began to discuss whether or not we wanted to have any more children.
