concluded that she is more than likely having a reaction from ...

Yet another reminder to take care of your teeth, ladies.

Happy 32nd Birthday, Carla!
I hope you have a really nice day!  :-)

I had my 21 week scan today, partly 'cos I'm impatient to see the baby in
whatever form, and partly so my mother could see it.  The technician was
