Awww. Love the birthing story--especially Emmett's reaction.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

[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.

The status is NOT quo.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I love the JZ horns reaction, myself.

I'm so happy for you, you big lug.
Thank you. She's such a sweet little baby girl.
I completely crashed this afternoon. I'd had about six hours of sleep over the last two days. And while JZ was obviously doing all the heavy lifting, I had spent a whole day applying hard counter-pressure on her back, followed by lots of odd-angled massage. Plus sleeping (or rather, not sleeping) on the hospital cots was hard on my back.
But I did manage to score a longish jacuzzi tub in our delivery room. JZ couldn't use it since her water broke, but it really helped my back before we started pushing.
Her parents took some pictures so I hope to have some up soon.
Poor, Li'l Matilda's noggin was all stretched out from the vacuuming and the moulding. But it was already snapping back pretty well by the time I left tonight. I changed her and swaddled her and put her in the little cribe next to JZ's bed.
Tonight I sleep in my own bed. Yay!

Those hospital cribs rule. Is it one of the clear ones on wheels? With the stuff compartments? Man, I wanted to steal ours.
Mmm. Bed.
I'm in mine. I wish you the joy of yours.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Awwww.
When is JZ going to be up for non-family visitors?

Exactly that type. Oooh, she looked so freakin' cute all bundled up with her little elf hat on.

Pretty soon I expect. It's going to be fairly boring (except for staring into her daughter's face with adoration) for the next several days.
I know some friends were coming over tomorrow, but I'm not sure of the timing. It's a small room, so we can only see a couple folks at a time. Otherwise though I think she's relishing showing off her new human.
