I like it, so far. It's...

Pfft, it's fine. I want to hear about you.

eta: Hee. The view from my balconey is a fantastic one of the bay, and I have a shopping center right down the road with a branch of my bank, and a Starbucks and a Baskin Robbins, and some good quick food places, and a nice sushi restaurant.

Wow. I guess all those "may your labor be nothing like mine" vibes I sent out worked!

t trains vibes on next-door neighbor's house, since she's pregnant with her second and before my experience held the longest labor record among our circle

(BTW, I'm hoping that once I write the childbirth scene in the wip, it'll be cathartic enough for me that I won't have a knee-jerk urge to say, "Did I mention how long my labor was? Damn long, that's how," every time the subject comes up. I might even deliberately write the scene longer and more graphic than I'd dare put in the version I submit to publishers just to help the catharsis along.)

Welcome, little Lily!!!

Welcome to the world, Princess Lilly!

Posting from the hospital within a few hours of giving birth is definitely the sign of a true Buffista. Now I'm waiting for the watch-and-post Buffista birth.

Welcome Princess Ticky Box Lillian! Wonderful news to wake up to this morning.
