The above images are x-rays of my sisters baby currently under development with an expected completion time for February 2010.

For those of you who don't already know my little sister Monique has been pregnant for like the past 3 months now. Since then I have observed my sister transform into a parent which I will admit has been kind of scary to witness, not because I don't think she will be a good parent but because as her brother it is hard to imagine your siblings growing up to become adults.

Tyler her husband has long since hoped for a boy and even went as far as to purchase athletic baby apparel. Well I'm sure Tyler was just as pleased to find out yesterday that he would be the father to a baby girl, instead of the future sports star athlete boy he had anticipated.

Last night I spent the better half of an hour discussing female names for the baby with Monique. Let me just say that naming a child is probably one of the biggest responsibilities facing a parent, it literally dictates the child's future (not really but it's still important). There are a lot of terrible names out there which makes me wonder what people were thinking at the time that they decided to bless their child with a name that later would be legally changed in spite of the all the years of countless ridicule and shame.

I am sure that my sister will do the right thing and give her child a reasonable name instead of trying to name it after a stripper I once met at the Cabaret in Downtown Portland.
