[blparent] Update on me

[Amanda Crouch]

No she didn't. But I blame myself for this. I forgot to ask. However, my husband and I have read the book What To Expect Before You're Expecting and I think I may be able to know how to tell when I'm firtle. By CM. So I'm going to try that.
Thank you all for your feedback.
I'll keep you posted.
