Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Maria receives a letter from Buffy, with pictures of her newborn baby, Dakota Starblanket Wolfchild. She shows it to Luis, Bob and Big Bird, who observes that Buffy's chest really sticks out when comparing photos of her pre- and post-pregnancy. They remind Big Bird what it means to be pregnant and he muses about becoming a parent himself one day. He even has a name picked out - Dakota Starblanket Birdchild.

 	SCENE 2 	Big Bird believes that if someone's stomach is sticking out, it must indicate they're also pregnant. He wonders who else on Sesame Street could be pregnant, then notices his own gut, and thinks he’s pregnant. He fantasizes about having a baby and does all the things a responsible parent does (feeding it birdseed, washing it, and singing the baby a lullaby). He decides to play it safe and get ready for a baby by finding a cradle.

Biff asks why Big Bird needs this and Big Bird explains his logic, though Biff admits that he's only seen "women people" have babies. The hardhats set the cradle down as Big Bird starts thinking of the ideal place it can go. Biff and Sully, pooped from carrying the cradle ten blocks to Big Bird's place, now take a nap in it. Big Bird gets some parental practice in by rocking the two and singing to them.

Snuffy attempts to get into the small cradle, but after several tries he just drapes his snuffle over the cradle instead.

Big Bird then has to wake Snuffy up to ask his opinion on the lullaby; Snuffy responds that he doesn't have one - he was asleep.

 	SCENE 5 	Big Bird has finished knitting his extra-long bootie when Bob, Maria and Luis come by, surprised when they see Big Bird’s nest area all decorated for the baby he thinks he’s going to have. They explain that birds don't have babies the same way humans do and not everyone with a big stomach is pregnant, especially not males.
