    Congrats! I know what you guys went through. We tried for a few years before " giving up " & looked into adoption. A few months later, she conceived & we now have 2, both equipped with rigs w/ Polk speakers in their bedrooms. Hope all goes well for you both.

    Congrats John! Duals or singles, awesome either way. As a father of twins I will say one of the advantages is that 1. if 2 is your goal you are done, 2. its much harder to spoil two, and 3. they will always have a friend. Mine are mixed gender twins and still play together all the time. Oh yea, and you save on bulk diapers and wipes!

    On my birthday, 7/15, got the best gift so far... He has a heartbeat! It is an amazing thing to hear something like that from a being no bigger than a Lima bean.. Truly humbling this little miracle that is life.

    He's thinking its a boy due to the faint image of a long, luscious Carolinian beard. Those weren't heart beats, those are lima beam sized farts coming from the future....erm.....cough....gasp!


    Good progress! So, what is the expected due date? Now, take everything you ever wanted to do in the next 18 years and cram that into the next 6 months.
    You should get a good trade in on the jag for a nice, slightly soiled minivan. ;)
