My name is Dwight Wallace.  I am 11 years old and I'm about to become a big brother for the fourth time.  Mamma is pregnant; she is five months along.  Hopefully by next week we'll find out what she is having.

I personally hope it is a boy.  I already have three younger sisters.  They are ages 9, 5, and 2.  I'm more than ready for another male figure around the house: there's only two males (Daddy and myself) compared to four females (Mamma, Cinnamaron, Cinda, and Cleopatra).

Mamma and Daddy keep telling me to be patient, but I find it hard to be.  It seems like the time is dragging slowly and it seems as if Mamma will never have the baby.  She is always telling us "All in good time, kids, all in good time", and to be patient.

Well, easier said than done.  Patience has never been one of my stronger virtues.  I would so love to have another brother around here!  I am tired of having to put up with girlie things or attitudes!

I'm also tired of having to babysit my three little sisters.  I love 'em all, don't get me wrong, but they can be a pain, especially Cinnamaron and Cleopatra!  Cinnamaron has attitude to spare (we call her "Li'l Miss Diva") and Cleo is barely out of diapers and demands attention 24/7; she can also be loud and squally!

I just pray with all my heart and soul that Mamma is having a boy.  If she does have a boy, she is naming him Charles Edward, after our Daddy; if it is a girl, she is naming her Chyan Dominique.

I will let you know within a week or two what Mamma is having.  Just pray she is having another boy!  I would dearly love to have a new brother!!  Thanks in advance!
