Footprints

Here is Piper getting her footprints taken by the nurse, Anna.

Thumb sucker

34 minutes after she was born, Piper already found her thumb.

Ann and Piper back in recovery. More thumbsucking. Someone must be hungry. :)

Ready or not...

Getting ready for the c-section...

Time to beat the Steelers...

I just read that the Bengals are riding a 9-0 winning streak into tonight's game against the Steelers! boo-yah!

Uh, to clarify, that's a 9-0 mark against the spread in Week 12 games. So going back to 1999, the Cincinnati Bengals are UNDEFEATED in terms of [ losing by less | winning by more ] than expected in week 12.

Who dey?
Who dey?
Who dey think they gonna cover the spread against those Bengals in week 12?

NOBODY!

Put your money on the Bengals tonight, folks!

P.S. - Steelers fans/bettors: Don't think you can play only slightly better than us all night long and then get some miraculous Troy Polamalu defensive score to cover on the final play in regulation. That would be ridiculous.

Because this being the most important election of our lifetimes is no reason to expect people to bother to register by the correct deadline, prove they are citizens, and/or show up to the polls with required identification. Why do those darn Republicans have to make it so hard for illegal aliens to vote?

Not to mention dead people, pets, cartoon characters...
