We're pregnant with our first baby!  LeeLoo has been an amazing nurse, following me more intently since we found out.  She stays with me during the morning sickness and takes advantage of the extended sleeping hours I now follow.  We're so excited she will be a part of our family as we welcome a new one into the mix.
