Oh…right…non-standard euphemism. Sorry about that. Ok, let’s put it this way…if all goes according to plan, Thanksgiving day will bring about a new addition to the Briston family!!

So, ya see, the baby is due on Thanksgiving, so, instead of saying “bun in the oven”, we’re saying that she’s got…oh, never mind…you get it.

It would seem that the surgery to kittenlm’s “feminine plumbing” alluded to here was successful. She’s about 6.5 weeks along now, and feels like crap. But happy. Very, very, “oh-my-god-we-actually-did-it” happy. :smiley:

So, SDMB, allow me to introduce our Turkey! :slight_smile:

Best of luck to your whole family!

Not by me, but someone should.

I keep hearing “Open the pod-bay door, Hal.” now.
Is that wrong?

Congratulations to you both!

Congratulations. You can skip the childbirth classes and just call the Butterball help line.

Now you have to move. It’s too crowded around here as it is. I hear Pennsylvania is nice.
