First off NO, I'm not expecting! But I wonder have you been keeping up with Molly the Barn owl from San Marcos, CA and her 5 owlets! Or did you LOVE the movie March of the Penguins? BABIES is a visually stunning and joyful new film that simultaneously chronicles the life of four of the world's newest human inhabitants - in Mongolia, Namibia, San Francisco, and Tokyo, respectively -- from first breath to first steps, on a journey at once universal and amazingly original.
