Attack of Baby Predator

[colliemommie]

To continue with the rampant silliness of the past week, I showed the ultrasound pics to my brother. He got the strangest look on his face. So I immediately started channelling Tossie from To Say Nothing of the Dog and indulged in disgusting levels of baby talk all abbout "isn't umms the cewwwtest widdle babykins ever?!!" I'm sure it sounded like I swallowed a Lolcat.

Jack pulls himself together and starts with the "oh yeah Nic, it's really cute". Really a valiant attempt.

So we get into the car to drive over to Mom's when I had to give in. I told him not to worry, I know the baby looks like the Predator, and I actually think it's funny.

"Oh thank God," he says, stopping holding his breath. "That is exactly what I was thinking, but I really didn't want to hurt your feelings...or have you hurt me."

I commended him on knowledge beyond his years and marital status, and then we spent the rest of the drive fantasizing about how cool it would be to have a baby Predator in the family. I'm starting to worry people will be disappointed if it turns out to just be human.

Cute story.
I laughed!---- mostly because I am one of the girls who actaually got oogly googly about my baby's ultrasound pictures, and I realize now how lame that is, hahaha. They really do look like aliens.

Oh, I got awfully excited about my pictures, but face-on they don't look very human. Granted, most of my friends and family see this as a source of great entertainment.

My mother is horrified by the thought that the nickname could stick, and we'll end up with a little 2 y.o. blonde or redheaded girl being called "the Predator". There's really no cute abbreviation for that one...

HAHAHA oh my gosh, lol
No, no cute abbreviation! I tried to come up with one and it gave me my dose of giggles for the day!

Your family sounds so fun. My sister will probably be off in some foreign jungle with no form of communication available [by her own choice] by the time I'm ready to have kids.
