Now tagless for your comfort.

And start making dopey reassuring sounds at the screen.

DH heard my murmur and squee and said, flat out, "We're done! No more babies!"

Not that there's anything to worry about that. I don't want to go through the whole process again. I may not survive two toddlers, anyway.

Kat, ignore that last bit.

Cash, I may not either! Everytime i see someone with a baby in a sling or a baby in a cart, I think to myself, 'Fuck. how am I going to do that with TWO?!"

It's nice and cool in the house right now. I shoudl go nap more.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm misting up looking at you cradling Grace and Noah, Kat. So beautiful. Such an apparently small everyday thing, such a miracle, holding your babies.

I'm walking, talking proof it can be done! As is my evil twin.

Mom made it through, too.

I will sometimes stop during my day because I can hear her laughing at me from 300 miles away.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, touching!

Lee, it's time you step up and do your own dirty, fun work.

Hey, how are you and her?

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

Lee, it's time you step up and do your own dirty, fun work.

If I have to.

Mebbe I should get my resume in order first though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crap. I drank too much wine. Now I can't go to bed right away, but I really really need to. Ugh.

Is it bad that I want to make an itemized list, including conception charges, meds, prenatal care and now this to trot out when Noah asks me to buy him a car or some other such?

Heh. The first item in my baby book is the bill from the hospital, showing all charges covered by insurance, with the notation "Born free!"

Heh.

I was comped, myself, due to damage. My mother only managed to bargain them down to half price on little sis, due to the same forceps scar.

Suddenly I'm suspicious of my bargain-loving mother.

Our wings are not tired.

A family member raised a son that became a very successful attorney. When his firm accidentally sent dad a bill for services rendered, he in turn sent his son a bill for room, board, education, etc. The son paid the bill. They had a most unhealthy relationship.

Me, I always tell the boys that I didn't pay the last payment to the hospital and they are at risk of repossession.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Did your family member write The Bill From My Father?!
