I'll let you all know how we go.

It is your baby as well, right? 
Ok, foolish jokes aside, congratulations. Is this your first?

One piece of advice for you if it's not too late...
If you're right-handed, make sure you give her your left hand to hold during contractions. You'll be less handicapped afterwards.
Congratulations to both of you. Do you know the sex or have you left it as a nice surprise?

Congratulations, Talia. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to.. stalk..

I really misread this sentence at first.
I credit that to no sleep whatsoever last night.
But I still blame you.

For your lack of sleep? Or your misunderstanding?
Not my fault, either way.[/ot:a12f741092]

I don't know, it's not all bad. My mom has 7 siblings and my dad 6, which means...or meant, tons of bday money. I don't know what it would be like if both my parents were only childs.

A girl, Alamaya Katee Gurr.
Our third, ad we didn't find out the sex before hand (tryingto handle all questionsat once here).
London, coffee please, as much as you can gather.
Thanks for the well wishes!
I'll try to stay in touch, but expect long stretches of quiet for the next few weeks. Not something I can look forward to. ha ha.
