K -

of course we are interested!  and just for the record, we missed you!  Welcome back  ;D

Sounds like, with the exception of the eye weight, things are going very well.   I'm definitely in line to see the pictures when you post them; can't wait!

BTW, what did you and Dr. Byrne decide to name the baby?  Do the rest of us have any input on this? :D

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Wow, Kaybo!  VERY nice pictures  ;D

Oh, yeah, Dr. Bryne looks good too.  Yes, I know, I know, he's married.  Most of the good ones are  :'(

Jan - or should that be Naj ?

All I can say is WOW!  Just visited your blog and went through the pics and stories.  I'm very impressed by what Dr. Byrne has done for you and what he did for Nancy.  I am humbled by what you have been through and so happy it looks as though it's all down hill from here!  Beautiful Kay!

Sorry I'm so late coming to this thread but better late than never I hope.    It sounds like you have great news all around and I am so happy for you.  Your pics look wonderful and I can see why you are so happy!  Glad to hear your trip to Baltimore was such a success.
