Yes! But we are keeping it a secret until our immediate family gets to meet him! His initials are WAW, I can tell you that!!!

I am on CLOUD NINE! This is so surreal!

I am loving every minute. the first couple months were hard but I got the hang of it. I quit my job to stay home and we are going into our second week. I also quit smoking so I take like 3 walks a day. Maybe I'll lose a pound or two. I sometimes want to rip this patch off and smoke it but I did it for Will.

The first few months are the hardest, its takes a long time to adjust.

Wonderful, now that you stay at home and congrats on quitting smoking.

Its not easy quitting.... I never could....keep up the good work...you can do this.:-4
