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. Embarrassed

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!! Cheesy

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! Tongue

Has a certain ring to it, one could say. He told me that he could then announce "I am your Faaather". Roll Eyes

Wish me luck! haha We may NEED it! Tongue

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. Wink

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 Grin

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

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.
