Thank you for bringing back memories of the happiest day of my life: the day Mrs. Ed and I huddled together over that desk phone in her office with the receiver pressed between our heads, waiting breathlessly while the nurse at the other end of line read the results of the amniocentesis.

"girlgirlgirlgirlgirlgirlgirl...", we whispered softly together. We knew, at our advanced age, that this might be our only child.

"girlgirlgirlgirlgirlgirl...". It meant the world to us. I can't explain why.

And we held our breath as that nurse declared, "...it's a healthy, baby GIRL!"

Oh. Oh.

Oh, the wonder.

I hope that your girlgirlgirlgirlgirlgirlgirl brings you all the joy that ours has brought us these sixteen years.
