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

I am at work. There are so many things wrong with this, I don't even know where to start.

But I do have business cards.

Lori, whyfor the huge pacifier contraption?

Little man didn't open his eyes for me on...Tuesday? I still have no time sense. But I can see hospitals being oh-so-no-big-deal for him.

I may need to choke a bitch. I have so much going on this week I can't even tell you. I'm juggling like five big, complicated projects. And I sent a document to one of our designers early yesterday at that needs significant design and formatting work.

Only I didn't. I didn't attach the attachment.

And he came and asked me about it - five minutes ago.

God dammit. I mean, I didn't attach the file. But come on. I told you it was coming soon, and that it needed quick turn around. You got the email that should have had it. You got a follow-up email with a piece that was missing from the main document. And it takes you until now to fucking think to ask me about it?

He hasn't mastered the unsupported freespace binky suck, so the cloth provides handles, and you can tuck the ends under his head or body to keep the pacifier in place.

And yeah, he has some rockin' eyelashes. Twice the length of Grace's. Doesn't it always seem that the boys get the longer lashes naturally?

Our wings are not tired.

Ah, advanced binky engineering.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I like it! I loved the moment Liv managed to figureo out how to fish for her own binky and pop it back in her mouth.

Unsupported freespace binky suck sounds like something that should finish in a dismout. Probably best that it doesn't.

We learned it from the NICU folks. They have all the tricks.

I still think they zealously guard the Secret of the Baby Burrito. I could never swaddle my babies as good as nurses do.

That's a good trick, too. I think I've got it down - watched 'em do it enough times.

Dog is my co-pilot.

I teach that one to people all the time, though one grandfather noted that it's really more a tamale than a burrito.
