Eri, you will enjoy your time here if you are a bit wacky like the rest of us!

Hi Eri, seems as though you have plenty of yummy things to eat, I suppose you can't drink at present, so save this bottle of Western Australia'a best wine for the christening. When is the baby due?

Hi Eri,
Just calling in to welcome you to Sukokuland and congratulate you on your impending new arrival. Motherhood is the best and most fulfilling job you'll ever have.
I'll leave you a few gifts-


Thought I'd leave coffee instead of the usual wine. Cheers!

Welcome, Eri. Looks like you've had lots of visitors already. I will leave you some chocolate buckeyes (gotta have chocolate when you're pregnant!) and a glass of very vanilla soy milk. If you ever get morning sickness, try a Wendy's Frosty - they work great!

Gday and Eri.
All the very best for your future with bubs.
I will leave this bottle of Aussie bubbly for you to 'wet the baby's head' when he/she arrives.
Drop over to my page sometime and meet my 4 babies...aged 14-24! I look forward to seeing you there.

Hi Eri and welcome.

This site has been one of my lifelines over the past couple of years - there is always someone to talk to in the middle of the night when you are up feeding the baby! When are you due? Have a great day!
Rose

Eri, and to welcome you to your own page here in Sudokuland.

to celebrate you joining us.
Hope you have as much fun in here as we all do.

Eri,
Love the cold heach picture, where was it taken? Was it cold enough that you actually saw some snow? That is one of the things on my to do list is to see it snow at the beach. I cannot picture what it would possible look like, or even if it can happen. Do respond if you have any insight. Thanks!

Take care,
Aimee :-)

Eri,
Thanks for the response. I am very familiar with that beach. Our family vacations often in OCMD. In fact we are headed there in June, first time in a couple years. As many times as we have been there we have never gone to see the wild horses. To busy soaking up the rays at the beach, we are true beach bums. If you ever go back you need to stop at Devito's, it is a small private owned pizza and deli on the main drag going towards Delaware. They make THE best white pizza I have ever tasted. Thanks again for your response!

Aimee

A celebrity...Who...What...where...do tell, did you get your camera out, did you manage to get their autograph...please tell.

LOL..

Eri, what fantastic news, I must admit I had no idea you where expecting a little one. I'm so happy for you.
Major Congratulations.

Eri,
What wonderful news about your pregnancy and getting over some early hurdles. Now you can move to enjoying this time,and please enjoy it! You will never be the same, giving birth is truly a miracle, but the journey to get to that point is equally a miracle. Marvel at every change and start picking out some awesome names!!!

Take care,
Aimee :-)

I'm so happy to hear your great news! Wishing you a happy, healthy, rest-of-the pregnancy!

Eri, I knew you were expecting but I didn't know you had been experiencing difficulties. So pleased to read your news today. Thank you for sharing.
Wishing you continued health and happiness for the rest of the pregnancy, and beyond of course.
Take care,
Gail

Eri
Congratulations!! What fantabulous news!! Wishing you all the best for the future....

Dear Eri,
Congratulations!!! Wow a baby boy to brighten your days and nights (the lights that go on in the middle of the night for hungry babies are very bright to sleepy eyes!) Save the California wine and dive into the chocolates now and stop to smell the !

Hi Eri! I am happy to hear the good news of your pregnancy & to know that you have more assurance now of having a healthy baby boy. All those tests they do nowadays seem to add to the stress of early pregnancy, don't you think? I had three daughters, then two granddaughters & was wishing so hard for a grandson. Learned that I must be careful what I wish for. The next five grandchildren born were ALL boys!!!! Good luck to you & your husband - you look like such a happy couple & soon your happiness will multiply!! Actually it already has - the whole Sudoku community shares in the joy of new babies, as demonstrated by all the congratulatory messages above.

Hi Eri. How did I miss saying hello to a St. Louisan? While I now live in Jupiter (Spring Training home of the StL Cardinals) I grew up in St. Louis. And I can prove it by asking the "St. Louis question:"
Where did you go to high school? (I am Kirkwood 1976, UMR 1980) Out-of-towners can't understand how knowing where someone went to High School can tell a lot about their social background.

I like your photo of the Florida birds. Check out my photo gallery, I have quite a number of Florida birds in it.

Also, back in the 90s, my late wife and I lived outside Baltimore and would regularily go "Downy Ocean" and stay in OC. We always had a meal of blue crabs somewhere along about 31st street, can't recall the name of the resturant, though. You two sure look cold in that photo, but happy. "Cold" on the beach here is anything under 60F! Here it is about 84 today, and I think I will go to the beach tonight and look for sea turtles nesting.

Take care and good luck with your pregnancy.

Eri,
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, I appreciate your thinking of me. I had a wonderful time spending it with my family who I am fortunate that we all live close by; mom, brother, sister and her husband.

I hope you won't mind, but when I saw your message I was also thinking of you and your pregnancy. I remamber your sharing your news. I hope and pray that all is going well for you.

Take care and have a wonderful day Eri!
Aimee :-)

Eri, I am so glad to hear that everything is going well. i hope you are taking this time to be especially good to yourself, because once you deliver that bundle of joy (and wiggles) your life will start going into fast motion and you'll wonder when the next time you can take a long bath, or read a magazine, or paint your nails. Hey, I am not knocking it, being a mother is the most rewarding job I have ever had.
I have a really good website for you to look at(once your baby gets a little older) that I just love. I get a daily message from them and some of the reflections are righr on the money, even with my teenage daughters. It's called sreamfree parenting. Check it out if you get a chance.

Enjoy that growing belly of yours, you earned it!
Aimee

Hi Eri! Just stopped by to see how you were doing. Are you getting close to your due date?
Hope all is well...

Dear Eri,
Thank you so much for your caring message after Mum's death. The love and support from everyone on this wonderful site has been just amazing and very much appreciated. I have been overwhelmed with kindness.
Kate

Hi, Eri.

Haven't been here long, so am very glad to take this opportunity to meet you. Hope your birthday is happy and that every "little" thing is going well -- or should I say "growing well."

Happy birthday Eri! I hope you have a special day and enjoy it with family and friends. Cheers (and what is your due date?).

Eri! Have a fantastic day!!!
