hello ... (tap tap tap) ... is this thing on?

Hi! I'm Resli's new brother or sister (I'm not really sure which yet. There's plenty of time to figure all that out). Nice to meet you, and thanks for visiting my blog. That's my picture up there - the big oval thing is my head, and I think I was sucking my thumb (or at least what's going to be my thumb one of these days) when they took the picture earlier today.

Now, I can't see you people out there, but I hear lots of people talking and making noise. Mostly I hear my Mami, she sounds like a really sweet person and I can't wait to give her a big kiss. I also hear a little girl - that must be Resli. She says hello to me every day and I think she kisses Mami's tummy, which is where I live these days. I hear my Daddy too. He talks a lot and he seems to have an opinion on everything. I'll work on my own opinions so we can have a good talk one of these days. I think there are lots of other people out there too, and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you, but you'll have to be patient.

I'm still very small, which is good, because as you can see, there isn't a lot of room to stretch out where I live. I heard Dr. Brazzel tell Mami and Daddy today that she and I are very healthy and I'm doing everything I should be doing. He didn't say anything about Daddy and Resli, but I'm sure they're ok too. My heart beats really fast all the time -- about 167 times every minute -- so all my parts can start growing. When all my parts are just right, which should be sometime between October 27th and 31st, I'll let Mami and Dr. Brazzel know I'm ready for my debut.

I'll try to keep in touch between now and then. Until then, please be patient, be nice to Mami, Daddy and Resli and feel free to talk to me whenever you see Mami's tummy.

Love,

New Baby Ward
