Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm beside myself with happiness for you, msbelle.
Quick! Someone inspire me to write. Aiyee! I'm so far behind!

Because books.
Aiyee! I'm so far behind!
What are you working on now, Allyson?

I'm adding more scene to the first time I met Tim, for Minearest and Dearest.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Totally bouncing in my seat for you and Mac, msbelle. Just bouncing quietly, as Matilda is down and out for the first time today.
25 hours and change till you leave to MEET YOUR SON!

Isn't that such a huge trip, JZ? There's a wee boy thousands of miles away waiting to meet his mom. His whole life is about to change, and I wish for Mac to tell us all about it twenty years from now, when he's finishing up college and thinking about the whole world at his feet.

There's a wee boy thousands of miles away waiting to meet his mom.
And I do love that there are people all over the world hovering over their computer monitors wishing both the wee boy and his mom well and waiting eagerly to hear how it all goes.

I wish I could go like a spy in a trench coat and dark glasses and watch it unfold and write all about it.
Some of which is selfish because then I can procrastinate the work at hand.
Well, all is selfish because mom is going to be so busy with her son and we won't hear back for like, um, twenty years? We'll have to send Jesse on recon.

Ah. Um, inspiration! Maybe a milkshake would work? When's your pub date? Do you know yet?

Both of these things are what make me squee. It's so exciting!
I have three kids, and I love them dearly, but they don't know anything other than me as Mommy and their daddy as Daddy. Each birth was an adventure in its own way, and each child is unique, and all that, but what's so very cool to me about msbelle and mac is that his life is about to change, and he knows it. And msbelle gets to meet a whole little person, with feelings and experiences and opinions he'll get to share with her as they begin to know each other. It's a whole different trip than finding a tiny human, completely dependent on you for everything from food to comfort in your arms.
I mean, that's also very cool, don't get me wrong. Um, I think maybe I shouldn't post so much when I've taken a painkiller for my back, because clearly it makes me a bit talky.
