Jessica - I had the same thought when I read about Cat Cora and her wife. I mean - the babies are going to be only 3 months apart in age AND they've got two other sons.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
the constant repetition of "advanced maternal age"
One of the things I loved about my OB was that I never heard this phrase. Sure some things were recommended because of my age, but it was never phrased as if my age was a problem. In fact, after Isaac was born he asked me if was thinking about having a third. When I answered, "I'm 40," his response was, "plenty of women have children in their 40s."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
We are going to ask about what they actually do in the gifted program. If he ends up in the gifted program his little ego is going to go from giant to epic.
If he's getting enough challenge from his regular classes it shouldn't hurt to put off the gifted program for a while. By high school (and possibly middle school) that one day a week helps emotionally as much as intellectually.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yes another episode in 'As the Palin Turns'.
And yet she's the hero of the "family values" crowd.

Punishingly Intricate
Still nervous.
It's good to be nervous! It's a very big deal! But it's also good to trust your instincts. But, remember, you don't have to rush.
Those are my advices to you!
I don't know that neighborhood at all! I'll have to do some research.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yeah, I didn't start G&T till I moved to a slightly bigger town in the 5th grade.
I went to a TIIIIIIINNNNYYYYY country school previously, where it was like hell on hick parade. Then to "the city" where all of a sudden I was the hick, albeit one with a college-level reading and vocab ability. And no socialization skills with kids. Adults loved me. Kids hated me, and thought my haircut was funny.
Le sigh.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Wait, the girl's name is "Mercede"????
I liked the house you showed us last night, sara-- is that the one that you are looking at still? With the lavendar bathroom?
I was looking at houses online and came across this (which may in fact be closer to Amy than to me)-- which looks fine on the outside, but OMG someone went crazy on the inside (just look!)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
They didn't have honors program or gifted classes until we got to junior high (sixth grade), but my elementary schoolteachers did a good job of keeping me engaged in class by giving me the next level schoolbook or getting me to compete with myself with SRA cards (see how high I could get my reading level). Also, my reading teachers would let me head over to the school library on a regular basis during class so I could get something else to read.
