Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

Xander/Giles ,'Never Leave Me'


Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Howdy. Read about a hundred or two messages. Skipped after that. Ma to them what needs it.

I did manage to make it to the Indian Food discussion, which made me laugh on account of having HAD Indian yesterday. (In-laws were sent for take out, because hospital food is of the bad an wrong.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Welcome home, mama.

Welcome home, Plei.

Do we need to bring you anything?

Welcome home, Plei!

An additional 200 square feet of house in which to put all her crap?

Nah, we should be good.

Welcome home! How's the wee Lillian?

Sleepy. She ate right before we left, and right when we got home, so we should have a couple of hours before she's up again, giving us time to set things up and unpack.

Susan, every time they brought up how long induction could take, we thought of you. And frequently mentioned your induction! We were all prepared for things to go on for days.

Of course, after the last upping of the pit (which was right around the last time I posted in here before she was born), things started to go hard and fast. From the time active labor started, there wasn't a lull until she was out. Hell, there wasn't really a lull between her and the placenta (maybe about five minutes, if that).

Well, if I never achieve any other form of fame, at least I'm a cautionary tale.

I'm very seriously considering calling up the midwives, telling them I still have some issues, and want to discuss what happened and why from just so I can satisfy in my own mind whether it had to be that way or not.

I'm very, very glad yours was easier!

What is even happening?

How are you feeling, Plei? Is your b.p. all stabilized now that the interloper is an outloper? How long was the whole thing for you?

Jilli shared the picture of her with us. Lillian is a beautiful, beautiful baby. Just beautiful. Congratulations, best wishes, and mountains of meep, because it's still making me cry.

She ate right before we left
I first read this as "ate right before left" and thought, "Hmmm. I've never seen a new mother note that, before."
