Any birth has the possibilities of complications, but I think sometimes people focus on the horror stories and not the successes. <br /><br />Good luck with BBQ. Naughty ol' goat. <br /><br />And I think you'll do fine with the retirement. I was a little worried this time last year before Hubs retired, but it's been 10 months now and we still get along fine. =o)B.E.
