What a blessing for you! How wonderful this time will be for you. My son will be 2 in May and our life has gotten busier but so much better since he arrived! Just as you look over those ultrasound pictures now, you'll just love watching everything he does. It's fascinating!

Congratulations! My baby is 29 now and I do not have any grandchildren yet. I just wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed following your pregnancy reports (usually with tears after reading each new segment.) Things have changed a lot in the 30 years since I was pregnant. Best of luck to your whole family and give Alex a kiss for me.

Just wanted to my congratulations along with everyone else! Alexander is soooo cute! Love the name too (I have an Alex who is 12)! Thank you so much for sharing your story. I just wish the delivery could have been better for you but coming from experience they are worth everthing that you go through! Thank you also for such great books. We are going on our first cruise next May and I love all of the information that I have read so far!

Jennifer - I am so very excited for you...I love your books and when I saw the announcement of your wonderful baby, it was almost as though it was happening to a friend. I also have PCOS and thanks to Clomid and Metformin (glucophage) I have a gorgeous 2 1/2 year old son. I'm sure you have heard this from so many people, but the joy of a child, especially when the conception wasn't easy, is overwhelming and the greatest feeling in the world. For you and Dave with your career, more than anyone, taking Alexander to WDW will be the most magical experience of your life. Our son Max is coming up on his trip #3 next month and every time we have been there with him I have cried and cried at how exciting and special it is to share everything with him. (BTW...it is feasible to have a fantastic time with a baby and then a toddler!). CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations. I know how exciting it is to be pregnant after experiencing pregnancy losses. We endured bilateral ectopic pregnancies (in the tubes)years ago but finaly were blessed with a wonderful daughter who will be 20 this month. Enjoy being pregnant. It can be scary when you've lost previous pregnancies. Most women fell fairly good during the 2nd trimester and are energetic and productive. Listen to your body. Take care of yourself. Enjoy sharing this special time together and with Allie. Thanks for sharing your news and feelings with the rest of us. We enjoyed meeting you at Mousefest at the reception at the Boardwalk 2-bedroom villa last December. Blessings to all of you.

Congratulations! I bet you are both so thrilled. Today has been a "baby" day for me. First of my girlfriends went into labor and had a beautiful boy and then another friend announced she was pregnant and then I get online and read your exciting news. My husband and I are trying and with all these babies surrounding us we can't be too far off ourselves. Have a wonderful pregnancy and again congratulations to both of you.

Congratulations!!! I am SOOOO happy for you!! I also have PCOS and had a very hard time concieving. My daughter is now 5. I currently have a Disney trip planned for Sept/October with 7 day cruise and 7 days at Disney. I am trying to concieve again so it is so helpful for you to include this on your site. I tell everyone about passporter whether it be a coworker, friend, or stranger in the mall. To me there is no other Disney guide. When I decided to book the Disney cruise your cruise guide was so helpful I even bought a copy for other friends who where considering a Disney cruise. You guys are the best!!

I just wanted to say how happy I am for you both, you've given me so much hope, we've been undergoing fertility treatment for a number of years, just had our first success, only to followed by a mc a couple of weeks later, so am feeling quite low right now. But your newsletter made me smile this morning, thank you for sharing your news with us, and all the very best for the future. Love & Best Wishes Donna xxxxx PS: Thank you for the tips on WDW with being pg, we're thinking of treating ourselves to another visit later in the year and were wondering if it would be advisable if I was lucky enough to be pg again.
