When Morley and I woke up this morning, we were both in terrible moods. We're having trouble with the phone company, the stock market, and the sale of our house in Toronto. Morley has job irritations and I have book publicity worries. A pestilential darkness lurked in every corner. The minute we checked our email, however, the whole day brightened up. Becki had sent a note -- and photos! Knowing that our sons and our surrogate were doing well made all the other little worries and problems of life seem unimportant. The things that truly matter are going beautifully. We'd like to share with you one of the picutres of what Becki looks like six months pregnant. (Click on the photo to see it full-sized.) She also sent along a list of her own FAQs and her answers to them. She compiled the list with her husband, Scott, and her 14-year-old son, Brody. We're sure you'll find the FAQs as interesting as we did.
