Linda,

Congratulations and good luck!  Janet and I will keep you, your husband,
and your little "rice man" in our prayers.  My brother and his wife went
through several miscarriages, and usually miscarried when the baby was
about the size of a grain of rice (close to where you must be now),
hence, "rice man."

Janet and I also had several, at about ten to twelve weeks, so the
babies were about the size of a sea horse, so ours were "Seymour." (You
probably needed to be there)

Janet just looked over my shoulder and said "suggest that she talk to
someone close about it, otherwise, you don't have someone to celebrate
with if things go well, or to grieve with, if things go badly."  We
ended up telling more people about the miscarriages than we did about
the pregnancies, and that was awkward.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Subject: Shhh It's a secret!

Since my husband and I have decided to keep this a secret from family
until we are out of the "woods" I am going crazy.  So I thought I could
share with all of you as you won't tell my mom!

We are expecting!...It's very early and after our miscarriage a few
months ago, we just wanted to be more low key...But that's hard to do
when I am SO EXCITED!  Estimated due date is 5/21/06.
