Could not WAIT for that kid to pop.

I was with her in the labor room ( I brought a book ), and in the delivery room.
Our ob-gyn was Chinese, Dr. Kuo Chung Sun.
That's along story.

He 'guaranteed' us a boy.
Not that I cared.
This was way before ultrasound.
You did the job and took your chances.

When he held our new baby up by the ankles, I was looking at the tiny butt.
He slowly turned HER around for a full frontal view and said "Not boy, Not done yet. Put back."

He was a real joker.
