Hello!!

It has been a few since I have been active around these parts... I lurk to try to keep up with all of you on occasion.  :-[ I should really pop in more when I do.
I have been doing well. My CH are pretty well under control - without meds for now!! It is nice. I still have them on a semi-regular basis, but they are very low intensity, just shadows.

I cannot take preventatives or trex - just good ol' O2! I found out at the beginning of this year that Ed and I are expecting a new addition to our little family in September!!  :D What fun! This is our first attempt at parenthood, so it will truly be an adventure.

I just wanted to share the good news with you!!  Ed told me to announce that we may be adopting (for now at least) Charlotte's wonderful name suggestion - Sky Walker!   :P Has a certain ring to it, one could say. He told me that he could then announce "I am your Faaather".  ::)   ;D

:o Wish me luck!  haha We may NEED it!   :P
:-*

Val

Congratulations, Val!!!! I'm so excited for you! 

Jeannie

Congratulations.   Your both are entering a phase where you will eventually find out that you know absolutely nothing (according to your kids). 

Congraulations to you both!!  How exciting! :)

She won't find that out til the child is about 12 to 14 yrs. old.  She has time to enjoy being a parent til then.  lol     Oh...and there is hope too.  At about 25 to 30 yrs. old their brain starts functioning and they can even start to be your best friend at that point.   ;)

Remember it's children who choose the retirement home for their parents!

I don't know about that, Ava is 4 and she knows EVERYTHING. ;D

Many congratulations Val & Ed! :)
It's wonderful news. I hope you are feeling great and ch will stay away. :)

Lots of hugs,
Sanna

P.S. It's fantastic that we're expecting at the same time. :)

Thanks all!

For those of you with the "warnings" - haha Carolyn, Linda, Mel, and especially Mike NZ (that one was especially helpful) - much appreciate the words of - um - well the insight  ;D

Barb - as a grandparent, only you can consider the babes to be hobbies. You can always give them back to mom and dad.   8-)

And Sanna - as you know, I am also excited to be expecting shortly after you and Esa. What adventures we shall have. I also hope your ch stays away!! Not much that can be done for a while.

Congrats Val!!! happy times coming aplenty!!! When in CH cycle i hugged and held my baby son's face by my temple and maybe my imagination but i had that bit of relief for a minute or two..... shows you what a bit of love and relaxing with your your child can do to the beast....
