There are as of this minute five eggs in the finchs' nest. One of the eggs seems mishapen, like a long tube; but maybe that's what all of them looked like when first 'dropped.' I'm touched and inspired by the fact that the male takes his turn to sit on the eggs. It's all very exciting, but I'm being cautious about allowing the children to think babies will automatically arrive. Don't want them to associate birth with death. After all, they are wound tight waiting for the imminent arrival of Mark Andrew Bartle, due on or before March 7. Mark's heart on the ultrasound is strong and persistent-sounding like he's spoiling for the rollicking fun of being alive and no longer 'captive' of his mother. He moves with stunning abruptness and force. We'd all better hold onto our hats and say a prayer. Please join me, anyone so inclined. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! in advance! ((hug))

I'm looking forward to hearing that Mark Andrew is safely delivered and the finches eggs were fertile and you have some babies there ~ Gosh Barry you are going to be kept busy with all those babies in the house :o) Ally x
I'm looking forward the good news that Mark Andrew, love his name, has arrived safely. Imagine your poor wife will be delirious with joy to see her feet again! Yes, you all are in my prayers, especially to St. Gerard, and St Christopher to assure a "good trip" to the outside world. Blessings to all your family!
