Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

What I really want to do is take back my other Tivo which I gave to my family in a fit of selflessness that's really chapping my ass now.

How positively....philanthropic....of you. You are a better woman than I. Just don't forget about the worthy causes that the Brenda M Foundation supports, like a towel-clad and wet McSteamy to watch over and over again.

Yeah, that's not working out so well, bucko. Thanks for nothing. And I've run out of things to throw at her that I can reach without getting up off the couch.

The Foundation is fully in support of that, you betcha.

Congratulations again, Hec. Give my best to JZ.

I think Emmett's fallen in love with his little sister. Yay! I'm sniffling, just a tad bit.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Awwww, I'm so glad Emmett is loving big brotherdom.

How's JZ?

So WaT and CSI maybe not the best shows for me to watch. I am off to search online for implanted tracking devices I can use on mac, or maybe I just chain him to me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

How's JZ?

She's good. Really much better. She's healing very quickly and was mostly worried about the breastfeeding. I think they've actually made great progress, considering Emmett couldn't breastfeed with any consistency for three weeks. Matilda is getting a good latch with the silicone nipples and it's made a big difference.

God, I'm almost glad we had the C-section just to have the extra days in the hospital. Four days to adjust with nurses on call, a nursery for the night (so Mom can sleep) and lactation experts around just makes a huge, huge, huge difference. It would've saved EM and I so much hardship and stress when Emmett was born. We only had one night in hospital after the birth.

HOW CUTE IS EMMETT?!?!?

Pretty damn sweet tonight. He was really doting on her. She's practically like a puppy for him.

All that must make JZ just weepy with happiness. YAY!

It was definitely a family bonding night. Big Yay. A lot of Emmett's resistance to JZ was simply based on the knowledge that she was going to bring a baby into the family. Now that he's liking Matilda, he was clearly warmer towards her.

Deb's been a big help coming over the last couple days to hang with JZ while I ran errands or cleaned. Plus making vegetarian lentil soup for her. And taking JZ to several prenatal appointments. In appreciation, we refrained from working out quadratic equations in her presence.
