, I was sorting through the convention registrations last night,

making sure that anyone who needed to see Dr. H was scheduled, and

realized that you can't come this year because of 's imminent

arrival!!! (Several other moms are in the same boat this year).

I am sure that the bed rest has been difficult. Know we are all

cheering you on and waiting to see the photos of when he

arrives! Salem
