Hmmm. . . reading all these posts stirred up a few old memories. Like
being pregnant OLD! And being a new mom old! And, let's just say that
now my daughter is a contributing member of society, so you know it
was long ago!

When I was pregnant, my daughter was lovingly referred to as "Peanut."
Of course, back then we didn't KNOW she was a daughter, she was an
"it." And, I was SURE it was a boy! NOT! "Peanut" turned out to be a
quite active little girl who never slept enough for me to get my work
done. And, aren't MOST newborns like that? Just as soon as you put them
down to sleep, you go to do a chore you can't do while they are awake.
And, just as soon as you finish and sit down for a breath, they are
up and want to play. So, Alex, I understand that you, having only the
returnable nephew, would not know that Georgia is just trying to get
ready for the moments when she can no longer contain Peanut!

And, if you are reading this at the computer, I have to assume it is
in your blue mu-mu, wearing your flashing flip-flops with your red
hair pulled smartly up through the tin cap, wondering where you put
your kiddy lit book because your papers are flying around!
