Heather- that's such a cute idea!
Awesome! Most of my FB friends are still wild and single and probably will just glance at it and think "Ashley having another kid?! Jeez!". :rolleyes: LOL So my kid/pregnancy news is usually only popular with my small percentage of mommy friendsQuote:

DSD's mom has 3 kids from three different guys and DSD is the only one with the condition. Prior to K being born, DSD was DH's only biological child...so although they SAY it didn't come from him, they can't prove it to 100% so we qualify for the genetic testing. In all honesty, the chances are pretty much zero to none that baby will have it. With DD I was WAY more freaked out about things as it was something on our minds since we started dating. Can DH father a 'normal' child? Now that we have DD and she's fine...we aren't as scared.
Chances are everything will be great! YAY!
This is what DSD has: What is Phelan-McDermid Syndrome?
I would 'like' it. :PQuote:

So ya, we're pretty sure everything will be fine. :)
Most of my Facebook friends who would care already know!Quote:

She also said she's at an advantage bc she's a labor delivery nurse... so she recognizes it quicker. so its a matter of time before others notice too!
I just dropped the news on FB. DH sort of accidentally told someone at his office yesterday who will probably spread the word like wildfire so we figured I'd better get on it. I hate that moment you have to his "Post" haha
Woooo hoooo! I was your first 'congrats'! GO ME! :PQuote:
