,

This is SERIOUSLY WONDERFUL NEWS!!! I remember when I was preggo with my

1st and it was such a wonderful time. Little did I know he was the one who

was going to make me a JIA Mommy but I wouldn't have it ANY other way!!

Praying that what others say are true and that this pregnancy brings on a

remission or close to it so you can just enjoy being a Mommy! Sending

prayers from Cali!!
