Default Possible New Co-Pilot!!!!!

Hello all!

Yesterday my wife (Mrs. Platato) and I went through are fourth IVF in an attempt to have our first child. We have been trying since 1993 (wow that seems like a long time) and have not had any success. Well, this latest cycle has seemed to go pretty smoothe and the doc was able to collect 6 eggs out of which he implanted the best four. The next 2 weeks will be a pretty tough as we won't know how things are progressing.

I decided to post this message here as you are all my adopted family and we could really use your prayers right now. Although a bit nervous (especially at the probability of octuplets) I am looking forward to having a Platato Tot to share our lives with as well as our Corvette hobby.

Thanks for reading this & wish us luck!

STW! Platato

Godspeed, man. I've had 3, and while the tempation is to say 'run while you can', now that they are almost all grown up they have turned into pretty cool people. One of them is even turning into a custom painter! Hope everything turns out for the best.
