Re: Chris, 13mm; +5

[Guest guest]

My husband was very nervous and hesitant. He decided he should not

go to the casting. He wasn't 100% sure about the band and I was

sure it was the right decision. I was a little upset he didn't go

but then I realized it was for the best. My mom went with me to

help me out. It is crazy because he watched him get circumcised

when he was one day old, but not cast. Don't be too nervous about

the casting. It goes really fast, 11 minutes. Ask all your

questions before the casting. This put me at ease knowing that I

was doing the right thing for my son and his future. Good luck, you

will do great.

casting on Friday in Chicago. I'm really nervous, and my husband is

still hesitant about this mainly because he's nervous about the

casting.
