>>>Before the end of January, I hope. It does give me a real sense of Advent to be pregnant this time of year (for the third time in 5 years). Patrick was born December 22, and by Christmas Eve I was sitting by my tree in a peaceful Percodan fog, watching the snow fall ...<<<
That is amazing! What a miracle! You, hubby, 7 kids and little baby "Blaise" all around the Christmas tree adoring Baby Jesus.
Baby Whosis still has no name. My father thought "Frank" was a good idea :-). I doubt we'll still have the Christmas tree up by the end of January, but one never knows. (It will be less trouble this year, since our cat died this summer ... although I just learned on the Undead Thread that you can keep a cat out of the tree by spraying the tree with underarm deodorant!)
I'll get plenty of penance during Lent, at least :-).
