Many Thanks

The twenty month wait is over. Finally I feel motivated to start this blog so that family and friends who have supported us during the wait can finally share our joy!!! Thank you all for your support, your interest, your anticipation of Penelope. We want to give something back to family and friends who have been so supportive and hope that you will follow our road to Penelope (love saying her name). We know you were as exasperated by the wait as we have been. I know it may have, understandably, crossed your minds that Eric & I were in some "folie à deux" and that this baby was a figment of our imagination or else that somebody lost our file and didn't tell us... Sometimes I felt like that myself...but alas, 20 months now seems like a blur...what have I been doing...waiting till the last minute to learn how to make formula! Still on cloud nine, Mary
