Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It'll be a little tough bit here as you start to get acclimated to everything, but I'm so excited for you. It is not possible at this point for you to talk too much about her, so bring it on! I hope you get ease from your pain and recover smoothly. All kinds of firsts for ltc!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

And I have permission for the oral meds! Everyone is asleep but me. Time to fix that.

I can't. I know I need to but I really can't sleep.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

sj, I hope you got some sleep.

Peanut is getting more and more active, but I think my favorite moment was when she landed a direct kick on the Doppler microphone during our checkup on Friday. "No paparazzi!"

Our wings are not tired.

You need rest, more than a bit tough with all the newness and the environment. Breastfeeding takes a few days to kick in. It was day 3 or 4 before I was even sure it was working. They should have helpful people around for that.

eta: Nice Juliana! I loved the reassurance of an active baby.

Juliana, ltc did her last in uterine trick by kicking off the monitor the morning of the csection. She hated anything on my tummy.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
