AAAAAWWWWW part 2
Picked up a companion for the bunny. It's just like the bunny, (really soft & squishy, rattle in the head) only it's a pink bear. It's definately pink, I'm sure of it this time :). Will probably give them to my sister over the weekend, along with this really fun card I found. Front of card is cut-out of a pregnant woman with "Congrats, Mom-to-be! And remember, there are worse things than being pregnant for nine months..." Open it, picture of the baby in the stomach saying "Yeah! You could be stuck in here for NINE MONTHS! Hello! A little leg room would be nice! And what's with this whole "wet and naked" thing? Call room service and send down some towels! C'mon, Lady!!"
Yes, I'm weird.

There's got to be something here in the water at work. Since the beginning of October, *3* women have given birth, and we've got another 3 due within the next 2 months. It's insane. When I finally get married and am ready to have children, I'm having my wife spend time here. :)
So, one of the women here at work who had their baby recently stopped in today. The baby was born on the 11th, making her 13 days old. So the woman's making the rounds, and since I was out close to where she had stopped at that moment, I went over to see the baby. Real cutie, of course. And then I got to hold the baby. Yaaayy! :D The baby just snuggled right into my arms. Couple of the women watching mentioned how how natural I looked doing that, and how weird it was that I wanted to hold the baby, since most guys don't like to.
**Siiigh!** Only about 2 months left. **Siiigh!**

AAAAAWWWWW
Picked up something incredibly cute for one of the babies. It's a REALLY soft bunny rabbit. It's sort of a dark pink, light purple color. The best part about it is that there's a rattle in its head. So every time the head goes back and forth, it'll rattle. Unfortunately, the store I got it at only had one of them. Just need to find something similar for the other one.

STARTING THINGS OFF
Wellup, as has been noted earlier, I'm going to become an uncle for the first time, of twins no less. I thought that keeping record of it, from my perspective, might prove interesting and/or useful for either myself, or even the kids sometime down the line. So as things develop with them, I'll be posting here.
And on that note, historical entries from my other blog (only 3 of them):

From 4-25-02:

NEWS OF THE TWINS
Update on the baby front. My sister went to the doctor today. Apparently, both twins are at full size. Well, full size for the stage of developement they're in. As I kind of understand it, twins are usually smaller in the womb then just a single birth. Not these two, I guess. :) So if things continue down this road, by my best guess, we should have 2 little ones roughly 20-22 inches when born and about 7-8 pounds. Ladies (especially those who've given birth) this is about average, correct?
