I am going to try to contribute to this blog more often since my name is in the title as well. My first contribution is going to be a typical example of some of the interaction I have with Tiffany. Readers, you will have to let me know if this story is interesting to you.

We are pregnant. Tiffany has most of the burden but lately I have discovered that it really is "we" that are pregnant. For example: birthing class, registering for baby shower gifts, touring the hospital, practicing breathing exercises ("cleansing breath, focal point"), relaxing, playing basketball in the kinesiology building, feeling the baby kick, going to doctor's appointments, reading baby magazines, picking baby names, finding a brand-new-baby friendly apartment. These were my activities for the week, of which you will notice only one does not deal with babies/delivery of baby. So, because of all this baby activity, we see a lot of babies. Mostly in pictures or advertisements but, anyway, lots of them. Tiffany still usually points them out and says "he is cute" or "she is cute, isn't she?" Cute to Tiffany means "small" and/or "a baby" so I usually say "yes."

For the past couple of days, however, there has been more discretion to the babies Tiffany points out. She loves babies with skin that is other than white. Now when we go to BabiesRUs she points out the black baby up on the wall and says "he is sooo cute." When we are reading Healthy Baby and You! and we see the Gerber ad with the black baby she says "oooh look at that baby!" So when we were getting ready for bed last night and I was laying under Tiffany's arm I said "Tiffany, I think I am not going to be as happy as you will be if we have a black baby." I hope that does not mean I am racist.
