Birdy says:  My mom went to the doctor today to see just how old I am.  She brought home this picture of me and my dad asked "we're having a bird?"  You can see how he might confuse my early stage cuteness with that of a little "Birdy."  This is the origin of my nickname, which we all prefer to embryo, fetus or baby.

Wow! Is this for real??

She said:  It is hard for me to get my head around the fact that in 10 minutes my life changed so much.  For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a mommy.  Now that it is really happening, I feel a bit overwhelmed and so very, very lucky.
