Happy Birthday, Justin!
Because it feels wrong to have blogged “Happy Birthday to Me!” back in late December, without following it up with a proper public pronouncement for Justin’s 36th birthday –
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Justin!
(Sung by our niece, Jillian, who turns three on March 29; will Sprout have arrived by then? We shall see…)
We love you, Justin!
Geeeeez, time flies — I remember when you turned 18!

Hey Shannon, you might remember me from Bob’s ACL board. For some reason I thought of you and popped onto your site. Congratulations on your pregnancy! And here’s something coincidental…I am 27 weeks pregnant! I guess we are both on the same path the past couple of years! So glad to have the knee stuff behind me. My dad, mother-in-law and a friend of ours have all had meniscus repairs in the past several months, and another friend tore his ACL last spring, so I’ve been loaning out crutches, cyrocuffs, braces, etc. as well as advice.
Hope you are enjoying your pregnancy. I can’t believe how fast mine is going and feel like we have a million things to do. I’m registering this weekend and we need to pick out furniture for the baby’s room. We did get the nursery painted…one thing to cross off the list! We are having a boy, due April 19.
Anyway, take care of yourself and your little one, from a cyber-friend.
Jill in Colorado

Congratulations, Jill! I do indeed remember you from the ACL Board and am thrilled to hear from you. That is too funny — first, our coinciding knee surgeries, followed by coinciding pregnancies with due dates in the same month (our baby girl is due April 1!)
I also echo your relief at being far beyond the knee woes… it had crossed my mind a couple times that I would definitely not want to be pregnant and going through the pre-surgery uncertainty or early (first year) post-surgery knee stuff. Looks like we both “timed” it all perfectly! Hehe…
You’re tracking right on schedule with your “To Do” list for baby’s arrival… or, at least, right on track with where we were (and you have two weeks’ more to play with than we do!) Pregnancy is flying by for me, as well, and we still have yet to paint the nursery or assemble the crib. If I posted photos of the nursery right now, it’d look like a bomb had gone off in there… there’s stuff everywhere, and not all of it belongs in that room!
Wishing you all the best, Jill! Stop in any time!
