The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Kalshane, those are wonderful pictures.

Because books.
Aw, Mattias! Waving his wee splinted IV'd arm about! With huge binkie!
Keep getting better, buddy! Mom and Dad want you home.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Mattias is so adorable. He looks so big in his closeups, and so very tiny in his parents arms. And so much hair! Wow!
I really like that comic a lot, tommy. Thanks for sharing.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I skimmed through here. If it weren't for the recent thread change, I never would have made it.
Thanks, everyone, for the congrats and well-wishes.
Is Mattias pronounced Mat-EE-as, or Mat-EYE-as?
My grandfather has always pronounced it Mat-EE-as, so that's the way we went. I've always thought it was a cool name, and it shortens to a very common nickname, so we sort of got the best of both worlds out of it.
As for the watching a live birth as birth control thing mentioned earlier, I agree whole-heartedly as it's still very vivid in my mind. Real life is not like the movies. Birth is loud and smelly and bloody, even with modern medicine. I am in awe of the gf's ability to go through all that.
The end result is truly wonderful, though.
ETA: Thanks for all the compliments on the pictures. And I just realized I'm up way later than I intended. Off to bed so I can get back to the hospital early tomorrow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
CatCam: Pictures taken by a cat. No, really. Actually, this guy attached a miniature camera to his cat's collar, which was programmed to take a picture at regular intervals. Then the cat went outdoors and did its thing - traveling through the neighborhood and nearby woods, watching birds, meeting other cats, having adventures....

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That CatCam is fabulous.
Mattias looks so aware and interested already. I'm always amazed at that.

Our wings are not tired.
Lovely pictures. I love the one with mom and son checking each other out. So sweet.
NBA: No clue about the sports whitefont custom. The last 2 games were filled with awesome and so completely different. Go LeBron! Go Boobie! I hate that every person around me here and on the tv is dismissing any possibility of the Cavs doing well in the Finals. They are going to show up to play. Also, I know the last foul call on Wallace was bogus, but I have no respect for his lack of control. Poopyhead. And for my favorite picture and headline on the game see the Boston Globe [link] Let's hear it for the boy!
edit because English tough
