Happy birthday, Bonnie

NO, THAT'S NOT MY ULTRASOUND. Remember, Tom had that surgery? We'd be having a very stern discussion with his urologist if something like that was hanging out in my uterus.

I'm happy to announce it's the ultrasound of my middle sister, Bonnie, to whom I am passing the Babymaking torch. In early March, we will have a new little baby to squeeze. I will soak up every bit of deliciousness I can out of that baby and then hand it back to Bonnie, head home, and crawl into my bed and enjoy sleep that lasts longer than 2-3 consecutive hours. Hooray for aunt-hood!

So today, on her birthday, she has graduated from the first trimester, which is a pretty fabulous gift. I wish I could box up and tie a bow around The End of Nausea, but I think that should arrive soon.

In the meantime, I wish you the very happiest of birthdays. You've waited patiently to head down this road, and I can't wait to welcome the newest member of our family. Happy birthday.
