And I couldn't watch the birth either. Didn't want to see ANY of that stuff. Told them up front "I'm standing right here and won't move. If I'm in your way, let me know." Didn't want to cut the cord or anything. I'm a bit squeamish with that kind of thing.<br /><br />Ugh. Hadn't even thought of the gift registries. More work to be done!Neil Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023957663164567385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14005586.post-75862760978429767422007-01-07T14:35:00.000-05:002007-01-07T14:35:00.000-05:00oohh, oohh, I'm at work checking up on some of the...oohh, oohh, I'm at work checking up on some of the journals I've missed. I can't believe I missed this one, Bud!<br /><br />Congratz on the new one, it'll be great to get the play-by-play up through september. That's so cool that you already got pics of the wee one, even though they don't look like anything more than a blotch - can we say Rorschach?!<br /><br />You posted on my journal about my friend T who just had her baby. To let you know, I visited her yesterday afternoon at the hospital and she's doing great and well on her way to getting out and about, but the baby, she's a little darling. For the two hours os so I hung out that baby was just quiet and adorable. I got to hold her, she's no bigger than my fingertip to my elbow and as light as a wet washcloth (if even that), and she was really good while I held her. She was staring at me, looking at my face and listening to my voice... aaaahhh, the joys of holding a baby.<br /><br />Good thing I won't be having any more, my eight year old keeps me busy enough when I have him, and I know he really keeps my Ex on her toes.<br /><br />Did you keep many of the baby stuff from when you (well, not you personally :-D) had Elizabeth? Like the crib, or playpen, or the spitup cloths? What about signing up for the baby registers, are you gonna wait until the ultrasound to do that?<br /><br />hmmmmmm, weird! I get all excited about little babies, but I get real queasy about child birth, I think that is the most disgusting visual in the world. When my son was born, I wasn't able to watch the delivery at all, iiicchh!, though I held my wife's hand and look at her rather than 'down below". I played with the afterbirth, too, but I can't watch a child birth. Go figure!<br /><br />Oh well, congratz, bro! And don't forget to keep us all updated.. and quit giggling, I know your lying! :-D<br /><br />~EpherosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
