Still Not Baby

[geminigirl]

No baby yet. I promise, we'll let you all know when it happens. I feel like I should write more stuff, and I might, in a little bit.

And because some of you have been asking...the tentative plan for the general public is as follows:

We'll go to the hospital and I'll have the baby. Give us a little time to recover and what not.

One of us (either zedrikcayne or myself) will make a voice post to this LJ letting you all know it's happened. We'll try our best to snap some photos with the camera phone. We'll e-mail them to at least one person (whitebird has made the generous offer to receive the e-mail and post them to the web for us...I'm hoping I can get at least one other person to do the same.) whitebird will post the link in a comment to the voice post.

Once we're home, or once we can sort out a connection at the hospital, zedrikcayne will post some other photos.

I will probably collect e-mail addresses and ask someone to e-mail out a brief birth announcement, to make sure that my non-LJ using friends can also hear the news.

Any questions?

I can also get them posted to our webserver here if you'd like. Tom and I would love to help :)

Pretty sure you will take this in the spirit it is meant but....

So much for the opening day baby.

Least you don't have to worry about that anymore.

[geminigirl]

Yep. I'm hoping to convince my family that we need a trip to Yankee Stadium for a game this summer when we visit though. A whole "Baby's first baseball game" family outing kind of thing.

[chiefted]

Oh that would be great. Even though I am a you
know who fan, I can still appreciate Yankee Stadium
and its history.

I am kinda sorry that this is the last year there before
they head across the street to the new park.

I guess that leaves Fenway and Wrigley as the
last of the great "old" ballparks.

[geminigirl]

It really does leave Fenway and Wrigley. It is sad-my mother was asking why I wanted to go this summer, and I pointed out that it was the only time that the baby would get to go to Yankee Stadium and I wanted to do that. I also mentioned that I wanted to go early enough to go to Monument Park if we did it.

There's a great story in Dan Savage's book "The Kid" about taking his son to a Chicago Cubs (I think) game, and "baptizing" him with beer at the ballpark. It's a family thing...my parents took us to our first game, and it was just something memorable. And I just can't love the Devil Rays...it wouldn't feel the same going to a game in Tampa.

d'oh! Would you like a shiny glossy photographic-style announcement made to send to friends and family? I can't believe I didn't offer before -- I can do a high-res ready to print, and also a low-res easy to e-mail.

This is the sort of styles I tend to do:

happy to be your 'other person' if needed. :)

Same!

[posthaste.livejournal.com]

thinking of you guys! *hugs*

i'm more than happy to let people know too...

[geminigirl]

Thanks. :)

I'm still waiting on photos of you modeling the t-shirt I sent.

I'm going to send you an IM in a minute so none of you go nuts the way we did when wait was having her baby.

[aliki.livejournal.com]

No questions, but I'm so excited for you, and thanks for the card! It was unexpected and lovely!

[shirleym.livejournal.com]

Just one question--did you get the package we sent you a couple of weeks ago?

[geminigirl]

I did. Cayne and I were discussing just a day or two ago whether or not one of us had actually e-mailed to let you know that it had arrived, because I realized that the thank you note I wrote had gotten separated from the rest of the ones I mailed last week.

It's gorgeous. It's absolutely gorgeous. And we both cooed over the snaps on the pants. That's one of the smartest things ever and something I so rarely see on hand made baby clothes.

Plus that's a great hat. I promise photos when the baby's here to wear it.

*sqeeeeeebaby!!* I am so excited about your baby! I mean... I only know you via LJ... but eeeee! I am so excited about your baby!!! Like in a way that I've never been excited about anyone's baby before. :) I think it's because I know how the whole PCOS/etc thing goes... and just seeing that you've "made it" through all this leaves me with the hope that if and when I ever want to, I could potentially do it, too... even though right now it's the last thing I want. Whew. What a run-on sentence. BABY!!!!

thoughts your way

Best wishes to a smooth delivery! Hopefully not too much longer. =)

Ofcourse she isn't here yet. I mean she doesn't have her bed yet and I told she is going to come for first Seder.

[geminigirl]

First seder at least gives me about two more weeks to get organized. I did start putting clothes away yesterday. I'm patient. I can wait. And I might even have time to make chicken soup and stuff.

I know I had a mailing address for you guys at one point but I can't find it. Will you email it to me? tobiwolf at mac dot com Then I can send baby goodness once there is a baby.

Guess the peanut listened to the don't come when the doctor is out of town thing.

I had a dream about you last night! I had a dream about a whole bunch of stuff last night, but you were a part of it.
