Deb had her baby!!! TinyGirl, who will get a proper blog-name once I meet her, was born around 3 PM this afternoon, and is, to quote Deb, "just as precious as she can be."
And of course, there's supposed to be a blizzard tonight and all day tomorrow, so I probably won't get to meet her til Thursday; but still.
I'd sent MisterDeb (who needs HIS own blog-name too, since it appears he's gonna stick around, thank heavens--it's absolutely PAST time for Deb to get some happiness in her life) all my phone numbers--both work numbers, the home number, Mom's home number, and the number for my cell phone which is now off anyhow--just so I could hear when TinyGirl arrived; Deb had told me that she was going to be induced today at 7 AM, so when I hadn't heard from her by 5:00, I was beginning to get kinda nervous. And it did not help in any way that my desk phone, which normally rings about once a week on a busy week, chose today to ring completely off the hook. But not long after I got home, I got a call from Deb herself; talking in whispers because they had just gotten TinyGirl to sleep. She sounded extremely happy, even at the lowest possible volume.
I usually hope that blizzards really hit us hard, but I'm really REALLY hoping this one misses us pretty thoroughly. I want to meet my little niece, and get started in my role as Crazy Aunt Gladys...oh, and get a picture, for my desk at work.
After all, you can only have so many pictures of your cats before your co-workers start to have uncharitable suspicions about you.
Yay! Great to hear happy news of new life! I adore seeing (and posting) cat pictures, but agree that a new baby is a wonderful additon!! I live not-far from your city and am wondering where this rumored snow-fall is... also hoping it misses us or at least underwhelms predictions :)
ReplyDeleteps...thanks for visiting my "neck" of the blog woods... more stories coming soon
PPS... i opened my mailbox today and pulled out my Netflix envelopes to finally find that I had received a little movie called "I Shot Andy Warhol". Not sure whether you've ever seen it (this is my first time), but I was inspired to order it up after reading an old article about the feminist/SCUM Manifesto author/at-least-somewhat-deranged Valerie Solanas. Do you remember posting that? I have been so inspired by so many things on your blogs!!! Just want to say thanks!
ReplyDeleteDeb's daughter and my son share the same birthday! Yay!
