I woke up this morning with one of the most pronounced case of allergies since… I don’t know, I got pregnant with Autumn or James in the first place? At least I haven’t gotten marked nosebleeds yet. Sometimes I’ve noticed that the very first time that I blow my nose in a given day might produce a little bit of blood, but my nose has yet to bleed markedly… for which I’m pretty thankful.

At any rate, I should be finding out the sex of the child by the end of this week if all goes well — I have a fairly good idea based on earlier ultrasounds and a lot of luck, but I’m waiting until this ultrasound since he or she is going to be much bigger now. If I’m proven correct, awesome! If I’m not, just as awesome! But if I had to make a guess right this very minute, I’d say that it was a girl. That was what it looked like when he or she had her legs open on the first ultrasound and was laying facing the technician, trying to beat her up.

Hopefully, Jason’s game will come in the mail soon. In the spirit of wanting him to grow up playing some of the same games that I did, I got the Super Nintendo version of Super Mario: All-Stars… yes, I still have a working Super Nintendo! Now that he’s three year old, my guess is that he’ll appreciate playing these sorts of games. I’ve been playing Yoshi 64 on the Nintendo 64 with him from time to time.

So far, he seems to like Yoshi. Although his favorite cartoon character is probably going to stay Spongebob for a long time, it doesn’t hurt to try to get him interested in other things and see how well each of them fare in comparison. So far, he seems to like the Flintstones and Tom & Jerry enough to sit down and watch them… so we’re doing pretty well, I think!

Some parts of this song remind me of what I think Matt’s going to do once his child has actually been born. Of course, the parts that allude to romance don’t… but somehow I think he’s going to be waking up with me as much as he can when I’m breastfeeding the kid just to watch me feed, should that go well. However, most of this song — aside from being stuck in my head for outrageously long stretches of time — reminds me of Matt.
