BTW, Mom is supposed to call Victor and thessaly on baby day and Victor is going to post in Beep Me.

This is the really important preparation.

I've found that any anesthesia gives me dry mouth and an irritated throat, so I keep hard candy available. A doctor recently told me that sour candy stimulates saliva, and that seems to be so for me.

Good idea, Ginger. Especially since the anesthesiologist told me there will be a tube down my throat during surgery. t /tmi

Sj, the buffistas notification is clearly the important part there, yes.

Obviously.

Yeah, I was bad and forgot to call Kat when Frances was finally born. But she knew I went into labor so she called me later to find out what happened. In my defense, I had been laboring away for 18 or so hours, and was a little preoccupied with the massive dose of oxytocin that comes with childbirth.

Which is why I'm taking it out of both mine and TCG's hands. Mom will be at the hospital assuming I don't go early. So, she can call people and they can tell other people. I don't expect using the phone to be much of a priority for either myself or TCG right after the baby is born.

My father apparently cannot tell the difference between a tostada and a salad. He just ate my leftover tostada from dinner last night, because he thought it was his leftover salad. The tostada did have some lettuce as garnish. And some chopped tomatoes. And that's about it for the similarities between a tostada and a salad.

He had looked in the fridge, and asked my sister why there were two salads there. So he actually did look at both the tostada and the salad, and concluded they were the same thing.

And the salad had a blueberry dill dressing. Which apparently tastes the same to him as avocado and sour cream.

A tostada is a pile of vegetables and beans on toasted bread, right?

A tortilla, not bread.
