My Wife is Pregnant again

Well it is official we’re having a second baby. Mrs. Blinger was late, took the test and it said she was pregnant. However to be 100% sure we waited before making the announcement until after she had seen the doctor. The due date is Late November or early December. Mmmm Junior could have the same birthday as me!

Will number 2 be a boy or a girl? I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Congratulations to us!!!  cool smile  excaim

Busted and in less than 90 minutes. I was hoping to rope a couple of people. I did it by email as well and got several of my family and friends.

Only one of them. The other feed is still not working. Bloglines sucks - it is so inconsistent, but unfortuantely with 50+ bloglines subscribers I really need to get that resolved.
