It's a Parent!

This is so exciting…we’re going to have parents! Ever since I was young, I've just always wanted one or more. We're hoping for a mom and dad, but really, any genders would be great. I want to name them Rachel and Ed, but my sister is pushing for Frank and Peony. We’ve been taking classes on what to expect in their early years, how to keep them from calling every day, how to stop them from worrying too much. But it’s impossible to control however they come out; I'll just be happy if they don't give me too many complexes.
