It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Jaundice

"Push!"

yeah, blow me, Doc, you try pushing with no anaesthetic

"I can see the head!"

good, because I want dinner

"It's a girl!"

Just like I told you, after two amnios and you insisted it was male, pompous gits

"Here's your daughter."

awwwwwwwww - curly hair, eyes are closed but I bet green like mine, winged eyebrows, what the FUCK?

"Why is my daughter yellow?"

"Nothing to worry about - she's three weeks early, the liver's not fully developed yet. We'll put her under the UV lights. She'll be fine."

Great. All that work, and she isn't cooked yet?

Bwah! I got a picture of a baby in a burger basket under the heat lamps at a restaurant!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, I was a little orange baby, too!

Jesse, she wasn't orange, she was yellow. Jo has skin toward the olive side, so the jaundice? She looked like a meyer lemon that had spent time in a tanning bed.

Yellow drabble: 100 words

For me, they are both success and failure. Hormones to guarantee regulation along with upheaval. For ten years, they hid the problem, and now after three fruitless more, they are my final solution. They are where I started and now, finally, where I have reluctantly returned.

There are four rows. Three of them are yellow; the fourth is white. Take all colored tablets before white tablets, the black print warns.

I want to take yellow and yellow and yellow again, one pack to the next. I want to skip all the sugar pills forever, forget I am a woman.

In technical news, I have a question. I'm registered in the GWW LJ community, but I don't know how to post to it. I've only posted to my own LJ. Help!

Kristin, great drabble.

Re the posting, on the bottom of your posting square there should be a box with a drop down menu that says "post to". Is GWW in there?

Got it, Deb. Thanks. That's the only reason I haven't been posting my drabbles over there. Verily, I am lazy.

ETA: I was a yellow baby, too, btw! Love that drabble.

The number of "this was the happiest moment of my life!" childbirth stories out there have always astonished me. Are these women kidding? It hurt like hell for hours, was humiliating, and all I really wanted to do was eviscerate everyone involved, starting with her father and saving the grand finale for that pompous twit of a doctor.

And then she came out the colour of an undercooked daffodil.
