Happy Baby, Hec, JZ and Emmett! Happy Birthday, Matilda!
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.
Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering 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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Man oh man - I only had 9 hours of back labor and 2.5 hours of pushing, and am not needlephobic, and it was quite the exhausting experience for me. I'm so proud of JZ!
And I'm glad you guys were well taken care of by the staff, and glad they did a C-section for Matilda. We were *this* close to a C-section here (in the States it would have been done for sure, and earlier), and Mal being transverse and then stuck meant that delivery was, well, in retrospect, touch and go for him. He was rushed off to get him warm and breathing and not blue, and there wasn't any post-delivery bonding.
So, yay for the c-section, and again how brave you all were!
Also, the A's have clinched. So all is well with the world.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I kept leaning down to her face and talking to her and telling her that she was my sweet little girl and that I was so happy to finally meet her.
I'm sniffly and grinning and bouncing, all at the same time. Matilda!
Oooh, she looked so freakin' cute all bundled up with her little elf hat on.
Like mother, like daughter, eh?
"You know I think maybe I like the idea of a little sister."
Right on, Emmett!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Oh, David, this is so wonderful. I'm so happy for you both! Yay! Also, can I just say that I'm thrilled you kept Azalea in her name? Because I loved that name. Matilda Azalea is lovely.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Emmett's story made me tear up. Good lord, I'm a sap. He's going to make an awesome big brother. I'm torn. While Owen is so young that he'll never remember a time without Olivia, he's still so young that his plaintive cries of "puuuut the babeeee doooooown!" kill me. Emmett's old enough to get the big picture and be lured by the incredible cuteness that is a baby.
Go, JZ! What a trooper. Hec, you guys did a wonderful job and I can't wait to see pictures. Get your rest, too.
It's going to be fairly boring (except for staring into her daughter's face with adoration) for the next several days.
That is one of the worst thing with a hospital delivery. It's nice to have nurses on call and having someone bring you hot (if bland) meals, the craftmatic adjustable beds and, as Plei mentioned, the cool, rolly, clear plastic basinets. But hospitals are BORING places with crap tv channels and no internet access. Especially when the baby's still in sleep-all-the-time-except-for-eating mode.
I wish I was close enough to visit and see you guys.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

As it happens, I'm sitting here writing a playscript for Roald Dahl's Matilda for my Drama Group right now AIFG.
...well, actually AIFTiring, but I've got a couple of pages written already and I'll finish the rest this weekend. A couple of pages will suffice to do some work on reading and casting on Thursday, and then by Monday I can get the (first version of) the script to them all, with strict instructions to LEARN THE BLOODY LINES.
Still totally thrilled for the Zmayems.

Awwwwww...
So nice to wake up to the birthing story and all the gushing. Congratulations, David, JZ and Emmett.
I too was crying during the Emmett story.

Today was my sleep-in day. Apparently, Toto had other plans. Poor little guy isn't feeling well. He's been vomiting since about 2am. At 5:30, I just decided to get up. Blech. It's going to be a long day.

Holy Crap, ND! Bloody well done you, mate!
Mwah!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Today was not sleep in day for me. I have an 8:15 epidural injection appointment which means DH and I have to get the kids around way early to get me to my appointment (since I can't drive myself).
Then Liv decided she wanted to wake up around 4. I got her to sleep around 4:30 and then I couldn't get back to sleep. Which, of course, means put the kettle on and crank up the b.org. Should shower. Then I can make egg-in-a-basket for C when he wakes up.
I hope Toto feels better soon, vw. Dog barfiness just sucks.

I knew I was forgetting something! Go ND!
Poor Cashmere! My sistah in non-sleepies.

That sounds yummy. I think I may need to make that for breakfast in a bit.
