It was hard to tell the top from the bottom. But somewhere near the middle of that blob we saw a tiny, perfect, beating heart. I felt my husband's kiss on my temple as the tech turned up the sound and we heard it, as familiar, urgent, and mysterious as a horse's galloping hooves. I didn't realize until then that I'd held my breath for over 4 weeks.[ March 07, 2005, 01:41 PM: Message edited by: Space Opera ]

It's never too early to start signing -- and singing -- to your blob.

*snicker* Anyone implying Opera is in the same ballpark as "fat" has never met the lady.

We've decided on Dorothy for a girl. I like it because it's unusual, and it was Mr. Opera's grandmother's name, whom he loved dearly. She passed away while he was in high school. No clue on the middle. As for a boy name, it will be a fight to the death. Mr. Opera and I have *completely* different opinions on what a good boy's name is. And no, we're not going to find out the gender.

Personally I'm a fan of the name: "The Blob", or possibly: "the Blob II: Return of the Blob."

My daughter's name is Emma Rose. Mine is after a song, though, not a grandma.
