This morning it felt like Christmas."You think Jonas was born?" I asked my love,
like I was five and asking, "You think Santa came?"
"I don't know," he said. "We'll have to go check."
We crept down the stairs and turned around the corner,
got into hotmail, and there: JONAS,
all 8 pounds and 8 ounces of him.
I cried, blubbery, and my love rubbed my back,
as I said something to the tune of...
"A little Hefner. My baby brother's had a little son all his own."
(& Erica's, of course!)
"Look at those toes."
"Yes," my love said. "Toes."
So...welcome to the world, Jonas!
I can't wait to hold you.
(& for you to become a world leader and win the Nobel prize,
cure cancer, climb the highest peak, land on the moon,
travel across time, dominate the spelling bee...)
I already love you, little one.
