Yucky duplex style "condemmed" houses..AND I was pregnant with Abby. Although, I wasn't due until July, so I wasn't quite as "developed" as you at that point. Just looking at your pictures, brought back memories of my own. Thanks!

The pictures of you 3 are lovely, you look really great (and sooo pretty) in the pregnant pictures, blooming! <BR/>Aren't first babies often a couple of weeks late? Sometimes I wonder why the doctors don't just leave them to come out naturally, if the baby is not distressed, they MUST do that eventually if you just leave them alone and pretend your not interested, don't you think? <BR/><BR/>I hope Blaine is doing well, how were those scans? I pray that he is ok and getting better.<BR/><BR/> Happy birthday Kellen!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>Love AngelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-63915126861144810642007-03-25T15:45:00.000-05:002007-03-25T15:45:00.000-05:00Aww, loved the pics!

Love it!<BR/><BR/>3. I lived in San Diego (loved it), but I have to say, what the heck is up with fish-tacos??? Does that sound good to anyone?? In all honesty, I never even tried one (because, really, I was picturing a fish head and tail sticking out of either end of a taco shell, and eeeeeeeeeeew!) so I really shouldn't slam them, but GROSS! <BR/><BR/>There. <BR/><BR/>OH!

Of course, I am just busting back because the stress alone of thinking you how much you hated California and then knowing full well that you were going to have to leave this country before ever letting anyone take YOUR daughter away from you must have been just all consuming horrific!!!<BR/><BR/>But, Kellen must know by now that since "It is ALL about YOU" it was just YOUR timing and YOUR lack of control that made YOU want to keep him inside until YOU were ready for his amazing - wonderful - debut! And by the way, you might want to tell your son that that is why he is the only boy - because he is just the best yada yada etc. For now - he will buy it - later he will use it to extort and torture YOU...
