the beautiful epidural person is your friend.

And you will announce that to the anesthesiologist. I swear.

The twenty hours without it wasn't nearly as much fun as the four after my first epi. I think I offered to have the babies of the guy who did mine. After I was finished with the one I was having.

Congrats to the hubby, Fred, but I'm sorry about Teddy. Much kitty-ma for you.

Labor-ma for Jess and E and can't wait for the Alter-to-be to make an appearance.

It's funny, because I heard about their pregnancies about the same time, but didn't really keep track of the actual dates, so when LJ had her baby, I was just thinking, "So that makes it time for Jess, huh? Actually, I don't know...."

In short: YAY BABIES.

Yeah Jess and E with extra labor~ma to Jess!

Welcome, Lyra's daughter!

Thanks for the thoughts about Teddy. He's 13.5, so he hasn't had a bad run. But Tara expressed a big truth when she said, "It's always unexpected."

I'm going to go with the epi when I have a kid. In fact, the doctor will say "congratulations Mrs ______, you're pregnant" and I'll say "thank you. Now let's talk about the drugs"

Aw, that Craigslist wedding story was just what I needed to fix my rage-filled day!

I have been looking at pictures of dudes making out. It's hard to be angry at the world when I'm too busy spinning around in my chair making "EE HEE HEE" noises.

But Tara expressed a big truth when she said, "It's always unexpected."

Yeah, I've thought of that line many times over the years.

Aw, that Craigslist wedding story was just what I needed to fix my rage-filled day!

That was one of the sweetest thing ever. Love.

Yay for Lyra's daughter, and yay for mini-Alter!

Fred, I'm sorry about Teddy. Many hugs to you.

OK, now that I've gone back and read....

Fred, congratulations to Hubs. I'm so sorry about Teddy and I hope that, whatever happens, he's comfortable and happy to be around his humans.
