Yo Joe, whaddya know?

Yes, it's about time you knew, your mother is a geek. And proud of it, too. Something you and me are gonna spend lots of time with are books. Mom loves books more than anything outside of family and friends. I love to read them and write them and sniff them and collect them. When I moved to Mexico from Canada, I got rid of everything I owned except my computers and my books. If I do my job right, you oughtta be a big book lover, too.

Some of my favorite books when I was a kid, were Charlotte's Web, The Giver, and I loved, loved, loved the Babysitters Club. I doubt you'll like the Babysitter's Club, because you are a boy and they are all about girls, but we can do our best to find you some books to do with sports or cars or whatever it is you end up passionate about.

I tell ya, I cannot wait to get to know these things about you. I can't wait to know what your favorite color will be, and what will be your favorite sport and how you will like to dress and what music you'll love. I wonder if you'll love to swim like your Mommy, if you'll play the drums like Daddy. I wonder if, like Uncle Bobby says, your favorite football team will be the Cleveland Browns or if you'll be a little more independent and love the Packers or the COLTS, heaven forbid. Maybe you'll team up with your Grandpa and cheer for the Chicago Bears, or go with Daddy's second favorite team, the Niners.

This is a big exercise in patience for your Mommy, Joey. I just can't wait to meet you!

Love, Mommy
