Leslie,

First of all Congrats!!!=-) It is so weird our babies are born on the same day. We went into PGN on September 26, -a day after you. So maybe there is hope for us soon too.

Congratulations, Leslie!

(I love used clothing stores for children also. I found some brand new jeans for our toddler for $3 and it even came with a matching jean jacket).
