The New year bAby

Few people know this...few people don't. My record sheets are gonna be all wet, my house is gonna be dirty, smelly, stinking. Crying can be heard in the middle of the night, and waste sheets of paper would be in high demand. You might be assuming that I have an acute problem of wetting the bed.

You wish !! My sister-in-law's gonna gift me a little child, that's gonna come out anytime now, and that'll be the dirty, smelly, stinky, weepy, and yet the cutest baby that our house as ever seen (after my birth, that is) !!

The first question everyone is bound to ask is, 'is the baby a he or a she' !!

Thats the million dollar question everyone wants to ask, but the answer, I don't know, neither does my brother, or my sister-in-law or the doctor. The baby knows the answer but it doesn't care, it just wants to stay warm wherever it is.

Now one of my uncle says its gonna be a 'male', the other uncle, who happens to always have an opposite view says its surely gonna be a 'female'. I think and crave for a little 'princess', but my cousin 'Chaitra' thinks its gonna be a 'prince' for sure. In our case, the loser has to take the winner out to a costly restaurant. Most of the older gen ladies, who are pretty much tired of giving birth to 'n' no. of ungrateful children say any child is ok as long as the delivery happens smoothly.

Either way, my brother is gonna appoint me to clean out the baby's dirty stuff, so I really shouldn't care, but the suspense remains. This whole 'giving birth' thing is so beautiful, we guys never get to experience it (thankfully ?).

So lets play the waiting game, keep watching this space !!
