When is Mrs Nod due?
Thank you, thank you, it's very exciting, isn't it?
We are expecting the baby at the end of February which will put it near Blynken's (#2), but she doesn't seem to mind.
@Joe - remember half of the Nodlings are girls, so maybe they need mascara and hockey masks like this girl?
Congrats, Mr Nod.
I'm glad I have 6+ months to pick out the perfect gift. IT has to be juuuuuuust right....
@LarryD - Why do I have the feeling it will be, oh I don't know, snarky?
