July 2007

Hi ***

For those who aren't subscribed to our other e-newsletters and haven't already heard my news, I'm letting everyone know that I'm almost 8 months pregnant and going on maternity leave very soon! I'm calling for any good advice on how to deal with a newborn and a 17 month old toddler at the same time...if you have any gems to share, email me.
