	Remember that ultrasound that I talked about back in March? It metamorphosed again today. I can’t believe it but I did see it. I was able to watch our baby BOY move! I felt it for the first time the other day, but now there I was watching as it rolled around in mommy’s belly! If you remember, I was hoping to have a girl. We all know that it doesn’t matter. A healthy, happy, normal baby is all I want. I'm sure that I will be ever as much happy with a boy. I’ve now lost all my ability to daydream of anything other than the baby. You know what I want? I can skip the first word, first step, and yes the first poop. I look forward to just one event right now. Just one thing keeps replaying in my mind and at times nearly brings me to tears of joy.

	When I was younger, I did a fair job at helping to care for my baby sisters. Yes, I was mean as hell to them at times (they were my punk sisters), but at other times it was really special. Like the times you would stretch out on the sofa on a hot summer day. The TV was performing a lullaby, and an oscillating fan was keeping time. Just as I’d begin to drift to sleep my baby sister (who had just begun walking) would climb onto my belly or my back and drift to a nap with me. I want another baby to nap with on a lazy summer day. I look forward to our first nap on the couch more than any other event I can possibly think of right now.
