Ellie is full of great ideas, but I have to say that I was really relieved to hear that you ditched the canned frosting. There's a limit.

Whatever else may be going on in your R overall, I keep thinking that, with an impending baby, S. would have to be crazy not to be freaking out on some level and feeling like life as he's known it is flashing before his eyes. Even in the most planned and wanted pregnancies, there's an element of terror in the prospect of new parenthood. Of course, if the parents experience it and express it differently, then that adds something else to freak out about.

Good luck with all your work. Be sure to squeeze in some meditative yoga, okay?
