Just a small set back. My DIL went shopping everyday for a week before giving birth to our new granddaughter. (see thread below) She claims it helped, son said it liked to have ruined his check book.

Early congrats on the impending birth of your son. Take good care of your family and you'll reap huge rewards.

Congratulations Chris! My daughter will be 4 in about 2 weeks. I can't believe how much work it is, but also how much fun.
