Baby pictures! Just adorable and makes me sad I can't actually hold him. Congratulations to you all! He was well worth the wait.

I know this is a huge relief for you all. Now Little T can settle into his family life and just be loved 24/7. Congratulations!

Has the mystery been solved? I'm on the edge of my seat with curiosity. LOL

I keep the vegan version on hand in my freezer all the time. It's perfect for creating southwest salads, which is my most often use for it. I've used it to make nachos and pretty much anything else that I want a spicy "meat" for.

Isn't he the handsome little dude?! Congratulations! Grandparenthood is awesome. Best thing ever.

Congratulations! Welcome Baby Boy to your WTM family. We are so excited that you are here!

Me too because I need to order more eyedrops but I'm too scared of them all to actually do it.

Also stalking not stalking. This may or may not of been the very first post I searched out when I got on here this morning.

I am just so thrilled for him, for you, for the whole family! Congratulations dear child, I am sure you are going to take the job and run with it. Good luck!

My cousins are fraternal but look identical. It's a strange phenomenon.

My mother, who has always been a cook from scratch kind of person, always has Bob Evans on hand. She evens uses them for holidays now.

I hope the quiet from @Elizabeth86 means Baby is on the way. It's funny how excited I am for this child to be born. Almost feels like I'm a member of the family.

I would have loved that. Unfortunately, my parents would never have allowed it. But it would have been the perfect adventure for me.

I loved Mirena but I was much older, as in my 40's. It slid me right into menopause helping to alleviate some of the symptoms. I did find the removal painful. I don't think insertion was but I don't have a strong memory of that. And even though I loved it and loved having no periods for years, I'm on board with the others that might not recommend that for an intact teen. I imagine that it would be painful.

I can only imagine how hard that was but I sure am glad you found him a home where, not only do you know he will be well cared for, but you will be able to still see him and watch him grow into his best adult self. Those are the cutest little beings ever!

Go with your gut. Our mama cat and her now 3yo child often end cleaning sessions with an all out hissing wrestling match. We let that go. No fur is flying and they are over it in a second. Our oldest 2 cats downright hate each other. There are several high value areas in our home and they will often block the way to those areas by sitting guard. All other cats can pass them but their nemesis will get a stare down. If the stare down fails, then it becomes a chase with claws extended. If we see them guarding those areas, we try to remove them to another room to try and discourage the behavior. So our gut says situation 1 is ok and situation 2 isn't. We could be wrong though but unless Jackson Galaxy stops by that's all we've got.

Thank you for the update. That must have been horrifying for you both. You may not have witnessed it but to a mother's heart that kind of imagery of her child in medical distress is wrenching. I'm glad it's over and that she is hopefully on the road to a full recovery.

I'd buy another toy and let Obama have new one and Inky can keep the pre-slobbered, head rubbed, and rabbit kicked rainbow. We have the same rainbow. I totally get it.

Not to derail the thread but that's why we did it. My father is big into genealogy and loved the idea of seeing where his roots originated. My FOO has a Americanized version of a German last name and we thought there would be quite a big of German in our DNA. There is but it's a small percentage. Dad turns out to be 80% British. Shocked us all.

Ugh, and on top of it all they make you feel stupid for even suggesting "x" in the first place. Good for you for staying the course! I hope A is all you need to start healing.

So this morning, I was feeling a bit beat up after a lot of stress yesterday. Today is the only day this week where I'm at home and not running to appointments and I had a lot of the deep cleaning projects I wanted done on my to do list. Then my DIL texted me saying that she took a mental health day and did I want to go out to lunch to help get her out of her own head. Why yes, yes I would. I can't even tell you how much better I feel now than I did a few hours ago and I don't feel the least bit guilty for skipping all those chores. And hopefully she is feeling a bit better too. I think she was.

Yep, total homeschooler move. You'd think there'd be a great homeschooler fix and I hope someone pops up with one. I second @Indigo Blue's suggestion. Good luck!

He was back to his regular sweet self this morning but now he's back in hiding. He'll come out, see me, and run back to his hidey hole. Hopefully, he's just having a case of the weirdos, which not an unusual trait for him.

That does look good. Not the OP but this is going on my list.

Our cat came home yesterday smelling so strong of urine that he stunk up an entire room. By this morning, he was fresh as a dandy. I can only assume he took care of it himself. Hopefully, yours will have a very enjoyable and tasty time taking care of it himself. ETA: just saw you gave him a bath. You are a very brave man. Very brave!
