Yahoooo!!

A week or two ago my sister and her husband sprung the news that Jack & Joe are going to have a cousin. There was much laughing, hugging, handshaking & backslapping at the news. They really are in love and I just know this baby will be a blessing to them. They’re going to be great parents. This is extra special to me because this will be "my" first nephew/niece. I got a ton of them by marrying Donna but there's something cool about having one from your own blood. Anyway, Melissa went for her first ultrasound a day or so ago. Here’s the photo:
I was amazed at the development of the little fellar even at this early stage. The transformation from a glob of baby batter & an egg to a real person living in my sister’s belly in just a few short weeks is, in my humble opinion, one of God’s greatest miracles. I can’t wait for this little guy or gal to be born. I’m sure he/she will be handsome/beautiful. However, I do believe that he currently bears a striking resemblance to “Plankton” of Spongebob Squarepants fame (Melissa if you’re reading this and are unfamiliar with Spongebob, stay tuned – you’ll soon be humming, “he lives in a pineapple under the sea…” while in the shower). Also, looking again at the ultrasound picture it appears that my sister has a freakishly large womb. Seriously, that thing is like the penthouse suite of wombs. She could easily fit another 3 or 4 kids in there. That was very considerate of my sister to provide such spacious living quarters for her child. Already thinking about the kid and it hasn’t even been born yet. Didn’t I tell you they’ll be great parents?

Congrats to Mike & Melissa! You are so blessed and we’re so happy for you!
