Hi Chris & Emily- I got in on this one a little late so will not answer all the questions (though I loved reading those that did answer). I agree with the blog-addiction. My blog is supposed to be geared towards Moms and the whole "Mom Experience" and I am glad that I have also found yours to read. My son was born Dec 16, 2005...so about a month before your son. I have found it amazing (and comforting)that babies and our experiences with them are so similar in many ways. Best of luck to you and your family. Jill
