Derek called today to pass on the fantastic news that his job provides 2 weeks of paid paternity leave.  My exact response--"SHUT UP!!!"  Grant it they offered 3 weeks at the law firm when he worked there, but then again, they expected you to conduct client teleconferences from the labor and delivery room and expected you to make up your hours between 10 pm and 10 am every day that you had "off."  So I guess that really isn't paternity leave. 

The only thihg that could have made today better would have been a press release by the AMA stating that gestation is now 33 weeks and 4 days, that there is a miraculous all natural cure for heartburn and that barring a 33 week and 4 day gestation, your husband can now carry the baby for the last 7 weeks and is the one responsible for giving birth.
 
Now that's the difference between a GREAT day and a PERFECT day.
