Don't you just love Facebook? I do...I can't even count the ways. I mostly love how I can get little glimpses into people's daily lives that I wouldn't have otherwise. How else would I know what my cousin is having for breakfast...or which team my former boss is rooting for...or how many potty training accidents my friend's son has had? That's golden stuff, I tell ya!

Well last night, Facebook entered a whole new dimension of awesomeness for me. I usually check Facebook in the morning when I wake up and then again at night (usually when I've climbed into bed) and sometimes (if I'm lucky) somewhere in between, too. Last night while doing my typical news-feed scan, I saw that my brother had taken his wife to the hospital, and that my aunthood was eminent. I was SO excited, I could barely breathe.

I spooned with my laptop all night long, refreshing the screen in between dozing to read my brother's updates. Occasionally, I chatted with others (like my Mom) also maintaining the vigil. We guessed what we thought it was, I observed this was my first Facebook baby, etc.

Then, at some point, I dozed off GOOD...and missed it! I woke up to see the main event had occurred about half an hour earlier. And I was wrong with my prediction. {Not that I mind in the least.}

So, to make a short story long, I present to you...
