Ok, this has been kept quiet long enough. ANNOUNCEMENT TIME: After two years of trying, **kittenlm** has a turkey in the oven!!! . . . . . _\_ . . . . 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](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=281539&page=6&pp=50) 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. 😃 So, SDMB, allow me to introduce [our Turkey](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/index.php?album=Ultrasound)! 🙂 ---
