The New Addition Seems to be Working Out. I Think We'll Keep Her

Just a quick update for y'all.

Our daughter was born healthy (7lbs 6 oz) and beautiful at 9:33 am on Thursday Nov. 5, a day that will live in the annals of Caesarian section history. I say that because the anesthesiologist himself told me that I set some sort of world record for vomiting during the entire procedure.

Fun times.

If you want to know the name we picked out, email me and I'll tell you. Think, uh, designer clothing label. Or a famous actress.

But, it truly is the beginning of fun times. She is such a joy, such a good, good baby. Which I really think I deserved because I endured such hell with Mr. P.

So, I am not too sleep deprived, Mr. P is a fantastic big brother, and all is good in my world right now.

Thanks, Universe, for listening.

Congratulations to both you and Caesar although it sounds as though you had a Brutus time of it. (Give me credit for trying,eh?)

HURRAY!
I'm so glad to hear she's working out ok and that you're going to keep her. What? that wasn't the big news?

I'm so glad she's here and wonderfully good, you know except that whole puking part. I don't really want to hear about that part because that is one of my greatest fears. That and being able to feel it all.

Congratulations!

She is birthday twin to my mom.

I threw up a ton with my last section too. It seems each one gets worse in that regard. I am glad that you got the mellow baby you needed and I hope that she keeps that up. Have fun with your baby, they grow up way too fast!

Give that baby girl a huge big nuzzle on the back of her neck (the bestest part of ALL!) from me.

And give yourself a huge hug.

YAY! I'm SO thrilled for you. I'm SO happy. Congratulations, and I'm glad you survived the crap of childbirth. That part sucks. Now you get the best part...the baby.

Yay again!

At least you didn't name her after your Birth Experience...something like Vomica or Hurley. LOL. Much joy to you all.

Yesssss! Congratulations, expanding family! Sorry about all the vomiting. I did not realize that was a hazard of the C. I'll email you because of course I need to know her name. Wait--is it Trina?

Oh yay! Personally I think girls are a bit more easy going as babies but I have been warned that things change a hell of a lot when they get older. YIKES. Enjoy your princess. I Miss the new baby days....well not really :-)
I'm glad to hear you are doing well.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?
