Pregnancy Update: T minus 50 days

The date has been set for some time now: September 20, 2016. Just another day, of another year, right?  Wrong!  That is Heather’s Due Date (if you listen the the doctors, but what do they know).  And while the baby (partially nicknamed ‘Baby G’ – if you think about it for a second, you’ll get […]
