When my husband and I were trying to have a baby, going to the farmers market was one of the top...

Dear Jessica,

Let me be among the first to offer you my heartfelt congratulations -- you did it! Good grief. If it felt to all of us like you'd been pregnant since 2007, to you it must have felt like at least since Employee of the Month was released. Now...
