congrats to both of you from a mommy of three from other side of earth ^^. I have been following your instagram for a while, saw most of your stories, and love the way you deal with grief. Wishing you a very good journey ahead. I'm pretty sure that it will be lots of fun! Take care of yourself.

Wow and Yay and Whoopi and Hoorah and Blessings! I am so happy and excited for both of you! I cant wait to journey with your family. xxxx Our good news during these challenging times which we were not expecting at all, was our 3 year working extension visa has been approved - both of us almost fell over when we got the news. I guess we just imagined the answer would be a straight up no as right now there is so much else happening. For days afterwards we were still in disbelief !

I am SO thrilled for your family to expand. You are going to be an amazing mama. My big news is we're giving up our beloved Manhattan apartment and heading to Brooklyn for much bigger, beachside digs. We're mostly moving ourselves, which is hell on earth, but it will be worth it!

Congratulations! That's such wonderful news. I have an almost-9-month old, and he is a daily source of joy. Lately he's learned to crawl and is climbing on everything, and it's so fun to see him explore.

Woo! Great news! It's always exciting yet scary at the same time even in non-pandemic times. But, I know you're strong as hell. Plus, I know Billy III is, because all Billy IIIs are. I know, because I'm a Billy III.

Bravo. So happy for y'all and the new Grandma and Uncle in your family. We've just learned two new grand kids are due, one in October, one in November so we're feeling it.
