Congrats!!! How exciting to know you’re getting so close 🙂

So excited for you! He is adorable!

And about those meals…

When you bring home your 5th most will stay away, because they are sure that what you have is catching! But your true friends will still come bearing meals and other goodies!

When you bring home your 6th & 7th (Yes, twins!) Everyone comes because they can’t resist sweet baby twins! Oh and they call in pizza for you because now you have sooo many mouths to feed!

It’s all good! I’m in Kansas so I’ll call the pizza in for you!
