Happy, happy day!!
This lurker has been checking on your blog every 15 minutes since 3:00 CST, hoping for news!!
Best wishes for the next thirty-or-so exciting weeks. I hope this pregnancy is much less “interesting” to your clinical teams.

I’ll still mostly lurk, but I’m delighted to join the chorus of well-wishers, warm-thoughts-ers and prayers, that the universe and its higher powers will reward you with a lovely, healthy little one in due time.
