Blogless Leigh!!! Cool to see you drop in! I'm curious though....do you think your reaction to the sign would have been different if your baby was currently *in* the hospital? It was those parents driving by, living so near that raw edge, that I felt the most for. I think this billboard is way beyond tactless, that's for sure. HEY!!! Blogless Leigh!!!

I had a preemie at 28 weeks who spent over 2 months in an incubator at a children's hospital. I see the billboards everywhere and just kinda go hmmmm....wonder what that's about. I guess I'm gettin old-I don't have that "fire" anymore! :-) ps.hope you are doing ok!! that’s funny, well not funny really, that you had that reaction.I get all your points written out but I didn’t feel any of that when I’ve seen the signs.

It was a fascinating book, and so interesting that that was the kind of thing that was displayed and happened at a World's Fair of all places. Anyway, this billboard kind of reminds me of that display, and I agree, in the "What are they thinking" category.
