My Mommy Is Having a Baby!

Surprise, surprise!

I was going to keep these wonderful news to myself until after the child was born, but I couldn't.

Yeah, Will Power is on vacation.

My whole family was hoping for a girl, so we'd be an even number of girls and boys. But it's definitely a boy. I saw ultrasound pictures of the little guy, and in one of them he seems to be in a salute position.

All this baby stuff makes me wish I had one of my own. Yeah, one day...When I'm more RESPONSIBLE. Way more responsible. And slightly taller. I'd also like to ask anyone who reads this to pray that the little guy and his mom stay healthy, and that he develops properly. It'd be greatly appreciated.

So I'm looking forward to sleepless nights, many poopy diapers, little puke stains on my favorite shirts, and all that good stuff I experienced when my siblings were babies.

It's been a while.

But then comes the really good stuff.

Like the heavenly smile of a newborn, their soft gurgling, the peaceful look on their face when they sleep, the way they look at you when you hold them in your arms, and the way they curl their tiny, chubby fingers around one of your own and refuse to let go. All that really good stuff I experienced when my siblings were babies.

Heaven is coming my way.
