I used to make it according to the recipe in a Julia Child book; now I just seek it out in restaurants.

Forget the sex, bring on the lamb!

Long story short, he was very sick when born, 20% chance of survival, beat the odds so far, still high risk until he is 5 years old and will always be a risky kid, no bumps on his little abdomen otherwise it's back to Surgeons and Dr's we go

I don't like mine to be gone anyway...even without specific issues..just an empty nest feeling...plenty of time when they are older...

And i just saw that he's not even 5 right...nope...I'd definetly not let mine be gone so young...

Actually in all fairness my Hubby and I love being parents, as it sounds do you and most others on here.

I think DH's first day home will be about relaxing and just spending time together, the kiddo is going to be shy at first, after all Daddy has been gone 7 months, but after the first day, all will be good and he'll be climbing all over his Daddy. I can't wait
