Nothing Yet

I guess I've been letting myself get a little isolated out here on maternity leave as three people inquired about whether or not Piper had arrived yesterday.

First, there was my sister, who suggested that maybe we should give up on calling her ''Piper'' and name her after the new incoming president. Barack Trillo anyone? How about Obama Trillo? Any takers for Hussain Trillo?

The second came from Aimee -- via text message.

''Any Piper news? :-)''
''Still holding. I think she's afraid to come out in a world with Bush in charge. But his farewell might confuse her -- people say goodbye when they're leaving...right? Just don't tell her he's still here for a couple more days.''
''Hahaha...just chant 'barack is our rock' over and over and maybe she won't notice that other guy slipping out the rear exit...''
''My sister things I should call the baby 'Barack' instead of 'Piper'. :)''
''Well, she's a girl, so maybe go with 'baracka' instead (pronounced like 'erica')''
''Sounds more like 'Chewbaca'.''
''Then lets hope she's not too hairy when she gets here.''

Actually, now that I think about it, ''Baracka'' also sounds close to Mr. T's character's name on the A-Team. Yeah, again, I don't think I'm quite sold on the name change.

The third came from Thommy. Of course he called while Paker was having a fit -- we had just watched a few episodes of 30 Rock (one of the few shows we can both agree on) and he wanted more...not the quiet -- TV free -- time I had just imposed. Yup, can't wait for another one to add to the mix. Actually, he did eventually quite down with the introduction of playdoh. To bad we just cleaned the kitchen floors today. I guess I should have taken a picture.

So anywho...that's were we currently stand...nothing yet. Still waiting for Piper.
