Talk about timing...

I am pregnant! I am trying not to be too excited b/c I have a history of ectopic and every pregnancy so far (I have actually forgotten how many at this point) have resulted in a really nasty shot or emergency surgery.

I'm so happy for you! I hope you have a sticky pregnancy, too. Will be anxiously awaiting updates as well.

Come on little guy/girl Tudu and her hubby are super cool, and your mom will be one of the best and you will have a houseful of really cool brother and sisters....come on....what's better than that? Find the Uterus and stay there...that's an order!
