Wiggy gets it from her ma, the Insta-Princess.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m not saying my own schnoz is lacking in the looks department, but on the whole, if I had to compare the two, my vote goes toward the Insta-Princess&#8217;s nose as being the cutest.  Mine&#8217;s a more rugged look, closer in description to aquiline than  button. (The phrase &#8220;cute as a button&#8221; always reminds me of Button-Bright, the curly-headed wanderer from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.halcyon.com\/piglet\/bk11des.htm\" title=\"The Road to Oz\" target=\"_blank\">The Road to Oz<\/a>.  His real name, by the way, is Saladin Paracelsus de Lambertine Evagne von Smith.  And, yes, I did suggest that as a final name for Wiggy, but my suggestion was turned down.  Although, not so much turned down, mind you, as laughed out of the room&#8230; taking me along with it.)<\/p>\n<p>Wiggy, sensing an audience, yawned while we were taking a black-and-white peek.  Cutest damn thing, evah.  We&#8217;re pretty sure it was a yawn; it <em>looked<\/em> like a yawn, and the doctor didn&#8217;t disabuse us of that notion, so we&#8217;re going to stick with it being a yawn.  For all we know it could have been a fart, rerouted through Wiggy&#8217;s esophagus due to the lack of a fully-formed butt.<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah, a yawn.<\/p>\n<p>Gee, that&#8217;s all.  I thought I had a lot more to say, but breaking into a bottle of wine and stealing all of its goods last night didn&#8217;t quite put the spring into my step this morning.  It was made worse, even, because I had to go it alone thanks to Wiggy&#8217;s upcoming arrival.<\/p>\n<p>But I updated The Blog, and by golly, that&#8217;s important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based solely on the latest set of sonograms given to us at our last doctor&#8217;s appointment, Wiggy has transformed from a vague brine-looking sea monkey, and into an actual vague person-looking thingy: See that nose?
