Who is this guy?
Now at 30 weeks pregnant - feeling large, waddling a bit, incontinent a tad - and curious...Who is this guy joining our family? We are a clan of alpha extroverts - even our cat "Sami" is social. He runs to the door to greet guests (dog-like), comes into the room verbalizing at 7:30am like an alarm when we oversleep (like a rooster). "Izzy" - the tortoise knocks on his terrarium to be let out - only to run circuits around the apartment (slow and steady - like a tortoise!), "Lollypop" the parrotfish reorganizes the aquarium - super industrious - picking up a piece or two of gravel at a time and moving it from one side of the aquarium to the other to form ditches and hills. The girls are both social, outgoing, self-confident in very different ways. The four and a half-year old - Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde (or as she puts it "Happy Ellah" and "Mad Ellah") - ignites like a firecracker when perceiving injustice or disorder of how she feels things ought to be! The Almost 10 - is the oldest/the performer/the socialite. Daddy and Mommy are strong, stubborn and alpha-types. Who will this little guy be? How will he fit into the clan? The first baby in my womb felt like a soccer player, the second felt like a shimmying bellydancer, this one feels like a free-style swimmer or a tai chi master or capoiera (sp?) dancer - with his flutter kicks, high fives, and slow wide leg movements. Just a bit longer....curious.....
