SO VERY HAPPY to read this update today. Congratulations to you all!!!
Andrew is a big brother.
I won't pretend to know what you are going through right now...the mix of emotions you are likely feeling, but I have been following your blog since you were pregnant with your dear Andrew as we were both due within days of each other.
I am thinking of your family...all of you.
