Ways To Celebrate The Birth of Baby #2

Get a full night's sleep. You deserve it.

Call the family a record four times during the day, beginning at 5:00 a.m. and continuing until you get tired enough to go to bed.

Laugh at your father, who got bored while waiting for the baby and decided to run some errands.

Laugh at your mother, who says that the baby got the famous family nose from your brother. Where do you think we got these noses to begin with?

Look up at the moon and wonder about life, love, and the turning of the world.

Wish you were home to hold her and hug your brother.

Send silent thanks to God that this baby was born a little darker than other recent offspring. Long live the Puerto Rican genes!

Realize that, in a perfect world, you would be next. Get sad for a moment.

Plan Christmas gifts.

Think back to the birth of Baby #1 and how much life has changed.

Drink a Diet Coke in honor of your addict Sister-in-law.

Look at the pictures and try to decide if the baby looks more like a fish or an alien. Decide she's a Fish Alien.
