She and I already have something in common-- I had the cord wrapped around my neck, too. My mom always talks about how scary that was when I came out and wasn't breathing and they had to cut it off of my neck. I actually have a little scare from the ordeal on my neck but I survived. I can't wait to see you, Ben, and little Isla (I love her name!!!).
