Baby On the Way

I'm hopelessly in love with word play and couldn't resist photographing this baby bib. 'nuf said.

The shower for Cori was by all standards a fine success. She received everything she might need and was a very happy wrapping paper ripper, as can be seen below. I am astonished at the "things" invented for new mothers in the last few years and very delighted especially at the very cute little shoes now available.
There was a large crowd in a much decorated room, ages from a few weeks to my august age ['nuf said about that subject] Food was good, conversation good, sufficient hands available for an efficient clean up operation when it was over -- an important consideration. And now the count-down begins in earnest for the actual appearance of the child who at the moment may be either of two well liked names. Sometimes I wonder if the MDs ever make mistakes when telling parents about the sex of the child. This technology did not exist when my daughters were born. I was certain the second would be a boy, i.e., Alan or Michae. When it was clear she was neither, I had no name ready and had to delay the hospital's paperwork for a couple of days until a decision was made.
