Puckering Up

Dear Conrad,

Somewhere near the end of first trimester and through most of second trimester, I had a craving for all things sour. I drank lots of lemonade, ate blackberries and other tart fruits, and craved Sour Skittles and Sour Patch Kids. Normally I can only have a these things in moderation, but I couldn't get enough of them during pregnancy. Some old wives' tales say that should have been a cue to me that you were a boy, but I kept thinking you were going to be a girl. Forgive your mommy; with all her male friends, girls are still what she knows best. I have a lot to learn from you.
