My other Johanna has been through it twice, and she did just fine, and I am sure you will. In fact, her daughter, my Miss Emily, was a September baby, too - that'll be 10 years ago this September 7th. Congratulations! Will we see you at Findlay Memorial Weekend? Hint! Hint!

I predict confused-at-first kitties, but I am sure they will adapt. My brother and sister-in-law's three cats were furious at them when Miss Marilyn (now 2 1/2) came home. See, first they brought home that black thing (Lady, a big bouncy Lab/Dalmatian pup who really just wanted to play with those funny-lookin', hissy puppies) and then, just when you thought it was safe to come out from under the bed, they go away and come back with the air-raid siren!

They did, in time, forgive them.

Yours are probably way less neurotic than that bunch. I'm sure they will adjust. And get faster as soon as kid-to-be becomes mobile!
