Yes...we are having a baby. The baby is due at the end of January. We were keeping it "quiet" because I have had health problems in the past and we have lost babies before. I didn't want to make a big production out of something that might just end up "not so well". And emotionally it would be hard to answer questions over and over again if something happens.
I am not/was not hiding it from anyone. We were just waiting until things seemed more settled before making any sort of public "announcement".
SQUID-you know you miss me!! ha ha ha BUT I have been here. I am here constantly and nobody IMs me. Except for RELLA who gets the gold star of the week!

Did you know your future son-in-law has a birthday tomorrow? WOO HOO. It was destined to be!
STEPH-you Harry Potter lover you!

Have you started to reread the book again? This time I am reading it at a much slower pace. I am tempted to stop reading it though and start over again at book 1 and read them all through in order (yes, I know I just did that a few months/weeks ago...HA HA HA).

PS Get your nap schedule figured out so you are back to chattin'!
TRISHA-what, you jealous of Harry or sumpin'?

YOU need to read these books!!

How is your day going?

HAVE YOU HUGGED YOUR MONKEY TODAY?!
BON BON SCHNITZEL-"Aladdin's" 11th birthday is tomorrow! He is getting too much. I am a sucker for spoiling them. Lucky for them...I couldn't help it. He is having some friends over after baseball tonight to spend the night. Tell Miss Ainslee happy birthday!
RELLA-You did see I gave you a gold star, right? Rrrrrells Bbbbells knows how to chatter it up!!
LISA- You are always MIA...come back..come back...come back. I will mix up mojitos if that will help get you there!

I hope you drop by tonight!
PAIGE-You know I will not take care of myself...but for the baby...a compromise has been reached.
KIM-We no longer have a "birthday gram" sent out on birthdays (does anyone want to do that?)...so if you are not around talking and happen to mention it is your birthday, then, I have no idea it's your birthday. KWIM? It's a personal choice on how much time each of us invests in online friendships. Most of the time, what you put into a situation is what you get out of it. For me, it's hard to keep up a connection if I am not chatting on MSN and posting on the boards. Maybe that is what you are feeling. I know you are part of the plans for the Feb. meet however, I think it's up to you whether or not you would like to come. I feel that it is truly, the more the merrier and hope to see everyone there. Oh and happy belated birthday.
