So far, I think Annette has started crying or cried more times in the last 36 hours since finding out she was pregnant than in the previous six months. It is rather overwhelming, everything from morning sickness to figuring out which doctors need to be contacted to figuring out how to make the house baby ready. I think I just want to put the baby into a giant round ball, sort of like a hamster ball. That way, she can roll and crawl anywhere without worries.
Annette said she was surprised that she got in the family way so easily. I think it is because I have sperm that look like the little guy on the side. Of course, I’m not sure how he got so muscular when I’m not.
One of the fun things we’ve done even before we knew that Annette was pregnant was figure out what names we won’t name our baby. Here’s a few:
Morris
Irwin
Louis
Mabel
Effie-May
Olive
Louisa
This is almost every parent and grandparent name on my side of the family. Oh, well, I still have Gordon and Irene.
