I woke up this morning with three females in my bed. It was an interesting state of affairs. Shauna had been up with the fetus and let Scout out of her kennel. They all three climbed back into bed. I have the great fortune of being able to sleep through all of my wife's current nightly activities: puking, coughing and sneezing (she's under the weather a wee bit right now), getting up to relieve a pressured bladder, getting up to eat or take a pill to ease a queasy stomach... However, Scout's brand of wound-up, sniffing, licking, squirming, stomach pouncing, wild wahini snuggling is something I have yet to get used to.
This interesting way of starting the day is a phenomenon of a certain molecule called E4Y1. Comprised of four parts estrogen and one part male chromosome, its effects in a household can be startling, disturbing, and absolutely befuddling. I have, of necessity, learned what men over the centuries have learned in order to deal with this malignancy: retreat to the shop, and stay there.

One E part of the molecule decorated by another E branch of the molecule. In case you're wondering, that's her 'I'm only tolerating this for a few more minutes' look.
Opening a few trinkets that showed up for the holidays.
Tasting the wares. Brooke was kind enough, and goofy enough, to bring home some of the goodies from the office and wrap them up for us!
The frazzled Y end of the molecule.
Well, this is weird. I am 99.9% sure I posted a comment about pay-back time... all the X chromosones for when I was way outnumbered by all the Y's in our household. Hmmm, are you editing out my comments? :)
