Well, the sleep itself is pretty glorious, after the ten harrowing nights of hideous battle. I love sleep so very, very much.
And, as much as I'm past ready for this stage to be over, there is still something unbearably sweet about Matilda burrowing into the crook of my arm as she lets herself fall into unconsciousness. I'm never not aware that our time with this grunty nestling baby mammal intimacy is limited, and that even though I made her out of my own body she'll keep growing away from me and into herself, and that's natural and normal and these are just little moments in her story.
And now I think I have to go snuzzle her for about nineteen more hours.
Morning, y'all.

That is just so beautiful and poignant, JZ.
Eco footnote to my salon visit yesterday - they use reuseable "foils" now for highlighting. They're made of a very thin closed cell foam that just rinses clean. Kinda neat.
Delta update: got an email back that they can't find my reservation. They need my dates of travel (which I gave them) and my flight numbers (which I don't have) or my ticket number (which I don't have). I mean, damn, if I knew those things I could look it up my own damn self! I think it's time to try talking to an actual human. Assuming I can locate one.
I hope you can get the ticket sorted out, smonster. How frustrating.
I was actually lying awake last night trying to puzzle out in what circumstances troop can be singular and why sometimes it sounds like the singular of trousers or scissors. I didn't reach any conclusions, except that language is peculiar.

I think there's something living in you....
Big Bump! I'd say you are ready to go. Very exciting.
Awww JZ, it is true that the desire to sleep with the parents does end quickly. It sure doesn't seem like it at the time though.

In a great way!
ION, here in Dallas, if you hear news reports of an exploding head, you will know the source, for it is mine. Right now. Too many pressure balls in the air for one day. Ack! Send cleaning crew, these new white walls are gonna get messy.
