I often get this question and am longing for the days of yester-year when my friends and family would ask me about MY well being. I guess this is a good lesson for what is to come. Please just tell me that my friends will still notice and complement me when I get my hair done, its the only way to justify the $200 tab at the urban chic boutique salon I go to.

Just once when someone asks me how the baby is doing I would like to reply..."he can't see, can barely hear, is apparently covered in a protective white goop, periodically kicks me in the pubes, gives me gas and heartburn, has turned my nipples into a National Geo cover story, but we're excited that he has shed his tail!"

I'm looking forward to the future when this kid can tug on his wiener and suck his thumb at the same time. Now, that takes skills!
