Wow! Aunt Danielle is pregnant! (Since she and I are both from the human side, she actually is my aunt...by adoption, of course.)

When I was home from school this weekend working on Hare Link tech, I joked with her about her producing a human, either singly or part of a litter. That isn't a possible outcome, though. The DNA transformations that take place inside a portal are quite thorough, and even include the eggs within a female.

Yes, I tested that. On my own. Perfectly normal hedgehog DNA, although what will happen when it's combined with bat DNA is anybody's guess.

But back to Danielle. In a few weeks she'll have an ultrasound that will provide some answers as to the species and the litter number. Right now she's thrilled about the prospect of becoming a mom. George, on the other hand, is walking around as if he's been hit with a two-by-four. I might say it's because he knows what parenthood is like, but by all accounts he was largely absent when Fiona was little.

BTW, Dad was right. With George preoccupied, they did get more work than usual done last week.
