The babe that ignoreth me

January 16, 2005 | 12:05 AM

For the last few weeks, I've been listening to my brother and sister-in-law yap about how active my future neice has become, kicking inside her mom's belly like she's trying out for the World Cup. "You can even see my belly move with each kick."

My brother tells me tales of being kicked in the head when he dared to listen for a heartbeat. From what I've gathered, this is a pretty active child... when I'm not there. She loves to move around back and forth... when I'm not there. But she stays absolutely motionless... when I am there. I lay my hand on that tummy and feel absolutely nothing.

I'm starting to think this kid doesn't like me.

How ungrateful! You know, I planned on being this really cool aunt, kind of like the ones I have. I was going to take her shopping, maybe pay for her first tattoo. Seriously, I was gonna totally rule. And the thanks I get is a big fat nothing.

Bro, all I have to say is your dauthter better be cute. She's going to need something to make up for this attitude problem. Kids today...

You don't know what you are really having til it's in your arms. Ultrasounds are not 100%, trust me , I know. If they were, I'd have 2 boys right now. Although Erin can kick her big bro's a**.

It's a niece I tell you, a NIECE! Don't listen to my brother, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT WE'RE HAVING!!!! IT'S GOING TO BE A SURPRISE!!! Unfortunately, there seems to be some disagreement among family and friends as to whether we'll be dressing in pink or blue. Don't feel bad Aunt Drina, Aunt Karen hasn't felt the baby either. My dad thinks that's because it knows better than to kick at either one of you! We'll need to talk about this tattoo idea a little bit though...there is already a small group of friends who won't meet this child until it's 25...I would hate to have to add you to this list!

Everyone, please ignore the above propaganda. It's a girl... Mommy just doesn't know it yet.
