Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love nachos and TAL.

I hope this baby thing isn't catching.

I'm happy it's hitting people open to being parents. Aunthood is THE BEST, afaik. Gonna keep it that way.

OK, need to find out when bro & SIL want me to come out. I was there for D's birth by accident, don't expect that will happen again. Hrm, I wonder if I get D for a visit in the first few weeks. Or at least get a hotel room and have him stay with auntie to give his parents a spell...

(Um, huh. It's all about me & the new neph. BABY!)

The status is NOT quo.

Wow! Lots of new boy-babies! And congrats on the land, Liese, and ~ma for the house, Sue! Congrats all!

I know -- there has been a run of Buffista girl babies -- now it's all boys.

ita - the women are warming up. They really are playing at 1:30 pm local time. (Weird.)

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

I want to be a mother at some point, but that point is not yet in my timezone. DH and I would have to see each other more than every other Thursday only in even-numbered months before the little swimmers have a chance in hell of reaching the promised land.

Your glee at a new nephew is making me grin from ear to ear. D (and the incubating XY) are lucky to have you for an aunt.

I really love kids. This news made me scan through the photos from when D was born and omg, how I love newborns. Just...cuddling. I can almost feel it now. Also reminded of doing that with friends' kids.

And I love all the stages in between. Getting to talk to D on the phone now makes me giddy. Even when he's calling me a squat! Wrestling with him over the camera...

But for me? Aunthood is the deal. I just wish I was closer, so I could play more often.

I hope this baby thing isn't catching. It seems like a Buffista just has to breathe, and someone ends up pregnant. No one even need look in my direction; I'd have a horrible time explaining that to DH, seeing as he's in Detroit right now, and I'm in MD.

If I catch it, you'll all be hearing about the Miracle Baby on the nightly news. Of course, all the cons of my lack of tolerance for rugrats might be counterbalanced by the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of founding a new religion.

Just don't give birth in a stable. It's sooo 0 AD (7 to 4 BC if you want to be accurate).

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

I just watched last night's Daily Show and Colbert Report, and now I'm a limp puddle of exhaustion from laughing uproariously for almost an hour.

I'm watching Colbert now, and I think I just hurt myself.

Slash! Slash in new places !
