Well, after the doctor's visit we're still in a mostly indeterminate state, but we have an early ultrasound scheduled for the 15th, and I'm very excited. I would like to take this opportunity to say that my baby is going to be a brilliant, amazing, talented individual, with a good heart and a knack for bringing people together. I may end up being totally wrong on that, but hey, one can hope.
I recently became an uncle, and that was one of the big things I noticed happened with the new baby. Everyone immediately started guessing and speculating on who he looked like, what he was good at, and what he'd someday grow to be. I loved it. It's such a warm, caring way of welcoming a young one into a community. Even if there's a bit of fantasy projection involved, I think it's a healthy, loving gesture at its core. Then there's those Toddler in Tiara ladies. I think that might be pushing the projection thing a little far.
