Congratulations, I wish you all the best and health for you and the baby, Heidi. You have been through a lot these past few years and deserve happiness and this is really a new start, especially since you have a new, stronger back
Don't forget if you have time to share some of the details of your pregnancy, if you don't mind I love reading about everyone's journey and it can certainly help others.
