Baby day!

The Sister in Law in Canada is having baby no. 3 today, sometime after lunch I think (caesarians do take a lot of the element of surprise out of things ;p).
So, as usual, have the pre-baby jitters and can't concentrate on anything! Probably made worse by the fact that I can't just pop up to the hospital and see them later as before. Obviously it's much worse for Emma who's way over there with no family; they have friends helping out tho, so thats good.

Must get on to sorting out flights there later in the summer.

Anyway. Need distractions people! Make it so!

ETA 2pm. Still no news. Have done Irish times xword & half of cryptic (gave up because it was taunting me with clues like "What is so round is so twitchy" and "In the family way? That'd be telling.") and 2 and half sudukos. Now have to look like I'm working again.

ETA 2 BABYBABYBABYBABYBABY YAY Baby boy, Rafe Anthony (poor child. Still, i'm sure he'll grow into it...) 8lb 14oz - and that at 2 weeks early.
All doing well - except the brother who is, as ever, totally useless and mostly trying not to faint. Wuss.
HURRAH!

Oh noes!

Things have come to a bad pass indeed!

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2006-05-26 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
I was wondering where you were. That's bloody typical that is! What am I supposed to do now eh?

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2006-05-26 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
hmmm... not *necessarily* thoughts you want to be having when your head is full of BABYBABYBABYBABYBABY, but still, distracting...

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2006-05-26 10:24 am (UTC)(link)
She has gone into hiding I think. I can't do anything now tho, too twitchy.

[identity profile] fragglechick.livejournal.com 2006-05-26 10:41 am (UTC)(link)

'MORE DISTRACTIONS

HOW IS YOUR UNDERWEAR TODAY?

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2006-05-26 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
You really don't want to know ;p

[identity profile] leeda.livejournal.com 2006-05-26 12:18 pm (UTC)(link)
so woeman.. if you are bored, wanna make me some Firefly or Lost icons? ;p

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2006-05-26 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Bored?? I am not BORED i am nervously staring at the phone waiting for it to ring and am very very TWITCHY.

Also, I suck at icon making. [livejournal.com profile] the_cortex had links every day to firefly icons... not sure where you'd get lost ones, [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda usually has some on offer!

ps that icon still makes me think it's MIKE POSTING

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2006-05-26 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed it is.

Still no news. ARRGGHH.

Huzzah!! Congrats all round methinks!! And I actually quite like the baby's name...

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2006-05-26 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
oh i'm sure it'll grow on me. It'll have to ;) (but really, RAFE?)

[identity profile] taffyd.livejournal.com 2006-05-26 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I made you an icon beef! I am posting with it NOW. I had to guess which Firefly guy you liked. I was going to do the woman with big teeth, but I decided to settle for the CAPTAIN

PS Poor baby Rafe but glad he & mum are good!

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2006-05-26 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
oooh. Can I have that one too?? It is GRATE!

heh yes. poor baby rafe. But at least he has the 'anthony ' to fall back on when he's older ;p
