C'est La Vie! (for bugs…)

So Is It a Boy or a Girl?

by Alison on June 29, 2006

Yes, it's definitely a boy or a girl… I've had several ultrasounds in my life (as this is my 6th child… ) and the last one was the first one we actually opted to be surprised with.  Well, actually, funny story- we had decided not to find out the gender with the previous one, but [...]

Where'd My Friends Go?

by Alison on June 27, 2006
