That's what I figure.. :)

Yep :) :)

haha.. I'm laughing only because usually I'm so beat from walking in the store
that I typically grab the first cartons of eggs I see, and check them (g).

No doubt :)  Both times though some darn thing happened after about 6-8 months
of nursing.. I think the first time it was some treatment I needed that meant
no nursing.. the second time I think it was I had to have surgery for a bad

Probably pretty efficient though :) and really, I used a blender way back to
grind the baby food I made, so it's not much different afterall :)

Yep :)
