You will be surprised how quickly time flies! Just keeping busy, as you will definitely be with all that going on, and he will be here before you know it. Congrats on the new baby! One little tip, I wish someone had told me...print out your chats, emails, and phone records every month. Otherwise it is a HUGE task.

girl i can imagine! does not sound like fun. I had to find chat records as well from since we met but we don't do the online thing much. so i've been forcing him to get online 2 a week to send me emails because we call each other everyday and stay on the phone for hours lol. I have call records to show that. so i'm not to worried abt the chat stuff. my baby is computer slow..he hates typing!

Thanks everyone! u guys r very kind
