Congratulations my friend

Thanks Matt. [:D] I’m taking Friday off so we can go for the first ultrasound. We are very excited because seven years ago they told us De could never become pregnant again. What do they know?[:p]

Congrats mate!

My litle girl is only 2, and she holds the decals for me before they go into the water… She is one of these kids who simply loves stickers of any sought… So when she asks me for the 18th millionth time “what are you doing”… I say that I am playing with my special stickers!..So now the wife doesnt get angry with me when I build, as I am spending “quality time” with her!..

Good luck to you and your wife!

Thanks Chris. It sounds like you have a first rate helper.[;)] My seven year old helps(?) me out quite a bit. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
