Tabitha--sorry it took so long!

[Guest guest]

Tabitha,

Sorry it took me so long to write back. We've had a crazy week here.

Ava is actually my 3rd (#1 started school this week, hence my

absence from the board!) Neither of my other 2 have CF, and we don't

really have any family history, as far as we know. So needless to

say, it was a total surprise. (we didn't find out through u/s) Is

Karter pulling up to stand/cruising/walking holding hands, etc.?

By the way--love the name!! My #2 is named on, and if Ava was

a boy I was pushing for ...I seem to like " presidential " names

for boys (, , on, Kennedy!)
