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.
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....
Mattias is such a cutie, Kalshane!
baby minus buble! yay! he knows mom . such a cutie .
good comic.
and I am wondering if my cat needs a cam.....
That CatCam is fabulous.
Mattias looks so aware and interested already. I'm always amazed at that.
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
Mattias is so cute and he already has the "WTF?" look.

Cute! Clever!
Timelies all!
Bleah. Still waking up several times during the night. Not a happy camper...
I managed to miss being soaked!
I ran a couple of errands - got home about 20 minutes ago - I was not home more than five minutes when the skies turned gray and it started POURING.
Which it still is.
