two announcements
2 little laptops jumping on the bed.
one fell off and BROKE his head.
mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"it's ben's turn to share a laptop,
because yours is DEAD."
because yours is DEAD."
———
ok, so it's not 100% dead. in fact, i'm posting from it right now.
but the screen is all wiggety-whack, so I'm working in the 2-inch window
that is still somewhat functioning. Plans to move all my files over to Ben's new shiny
MacBook Pro with CS5 are underway.
But first I get to go pick him up and tell him all about my 6-hour venture
at the Human Services clinic today—where they whisked me
away and told me a gender like they were telling me the weather.
I saw Baby move in that ultrasound
and felt like I could tell what was going on way more
than I ever could tell from anyone's little black-and-white photo.

Oh, and they changed my due-date to 23 January. (Farther along than I thought). Not bad.
But really,
I'm going to go have fun with HusBen who's been gone all day with a test and a final project presentation.
Then I'll come back and tell you the he or she later.
