We haven't even told our parents yet.  She wants to wait until we get an ultrasound picture, which isn't until the middle of March.  But I can't keep this a secret for that long!   I hope she's starting to come around with the idea of just telling the folks for now.  The rest of the family will have to wait until that ultrasound picture.

You guys won't mind if I come on here and give updates from time to time or let off a little steam or just try to get ideas from you, will ya?  This place has kind of turned into a retreat of sorts for me.  Its nice to have guys like you around. 

Try thinking like a baby, then imagine worse-case scenario. What attracts things to babies changes as they age, like eye glasses/shiny things that they want to touch, small things on a table that they want to taste. If it's small enough to fit in their mouth, hide it. Kids like to do that at certain ages, all the way up to the day they discover the liquor cabinet. While you might find yourself one day viewing everything from wondering what would my kid do with this, it just might be the one thing that averts disaster. Young humans learn by pushing the envelope, and you are the envelope. Enjoy!
