I've been a terrible lurker--in our family I'm the MDC user and the non-gestational parent this go around, so there haven't been any pregnancy updates...   But, after 8 days of prodromal labor 25 hours of natural childbirth...

Off to the infusion center for blood today (woo-hoo!)  And, can I just say, if we'd had DS2 first we'd have been tricked into thinking parenting was easy ;)  It's absolutely amazing, once DW stopped eating broccoli, he...
