straight shooting from a freaked-out, first-time father

Lil Red
We picked up a couple baby outfits (are they called unitards? singlets? one-z???) at Walmart last night. I believes the grand total is up to 4. That also means that my child's wardrobe is 50% Husker gear. Goooo Biiiiiig Re--ed! Go Big Red! If Pelini stays as long as Dr. Tom did, we might be able to supply him with a Maloley at rush end (only if he avoids his Dad's athletic abilities and picks up some of Mom's).
It's Day 201 of the pregnancy - just 65 days to go. The baby's brain is developing rapidly, increasing the number of individual connections between individual nerve cells and indentifying groups of cells that will perform complicated functions (like root canals on molars of terrified patients that won't open their mouth more than a few microns) throughout the baby's lifetime.
