I saw a sonogram pic in the reader and was all like - beagles don't come with sonograms - because where is the food in their mouth in the picture?

Anyway I know you will be wonderful parents - I really think beagles prepare you wonderfully for parent hood - they are such a pain in the ass and have so many wonderful "issues" - you all are very well prepped.

And of course a big huge CONGRATS!

Hmm. I guess the sewing and tap dancing classes didn't fill your time enough. I figured all the denial a while back was foreshadowing. Congratulations! You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into. ;P

I feel ya, girl. Get back to me in January and I'll be your pal. You know what my parents have done? They've gone and brought home another one. Life is just not the same, but BOY do I get a lot of exercise with this 21 month freak show chasing me around all the time. Gotta go nap. I'm thinking of ya.
