Congratulations are in order:

I have many happy words to share with you today!

First off, congratulations to Emilie, who successfully had a VBAC last week, and gave birth to beautiful baby boy, Benjamin! May he bring you, Stephen, and Daniel all much joy!

Second, congratulations to my former co-worker, Courtney(who reads this occasionally) for giving birth on Monday, the 31st, to big baby boy Aidan Michael - at 8 lbs, 13 ounces, 22 inches! Whew; and I thought K was big at 21 inches and 8 lbs 10 ounces! LOL. Congrats to Courtney, her hubby, and their doggie, Nellie!

And finally, a huge celebration is due for V. over at The Anguished Corn. She recently underwent her first IVF cycle with her hubby, and yesterday, got the BFP (Big Fat Positive) they have been praying for. YAY for V.! However, prayers are needed, as she is one of the women who unfortunately developed OHSS, which can be very, very uncomfortable. Congrats to you, V. and hubby!
