TOMORROW is a big day. we find out the sex of the baby. OH BOY! OR GIRL! there has been a lot of speculation but doctors assure me all the rumors, old wives tales, and speculations are all just that and there are no signs that indicate one or the other. i get told about every other day from one person or another what they think im having, both a boy and a girl weighing in equally here. so, we will see tomorrow what baby decides to show us!

on a sad note, we've had some very bad news thrown our way. taffy, one of our cats, was diagnosed with a bunch of stuff, all resulting in the fact that he has about 5 months to live. if you know me at all, you know this is horrible horrible news to us, a loss of one of our family members. taffy has been a constant presence in my life since i was in high school. to lose him is to lose a part of me and a part of our family as a whole. there is a photo album of pictures of him up on lexi's photo site that i'll continue to add to as i find more and more pics of him.

dont worry, i'll be back on here to tomorrow to post The Big News just as soon as we find out.

later - stacey, rob, lexi, kitties, and ....
