He's thrilled, and is looking forward to being a big brother (he wants a brother, but a sister "would be okay too" ;>) I don't know if he realizes he'll be prime baby-sitting age...

But yeah, this is really good news, and apart from everything else, you hit the nail on the head about the affirmation and health and such. This seemed like something that had been taken away from us, and from C, and we'd moved past it, but it was still a deep sorrow. I can't tell you how many times I was tempted to spill the beans when you were talking about your own tales and happenings, but I promised C I'd keep it close until after the end of the 1st trimester.

So yaaaaaaay to us both/all! :) Blessings and health for you and yours!
