Let's Hear It for Technology

For it allows me to sit in a hospital bed and spew my usual drivel without missing a day!  WHEE!

Hello, poppets.  Guess what I did yesterday?  Without going into unnecessarily gory details, I Brought Forth New Life.  Once again without any pharmaceutical help whatsoever, leading me to once again have a very strong reaction of, "THANK GOD THAT'S OVER."

So there's this baby asleep in the bassinet beside me.  He's been sleeping most of the time since his great entrance.  And when he's not sleeping, he's nursing.  Kid took to the milk like a natural.

His name, at least the one on his birth certificate, must, of course, remain top secret.  But his blog name will be Charlie.  That kind of goes with Cubby, right?

Right.  And speaking of Cubby, that gigantic child (in comparison to the new one anyway) was just here for his introduction to Baby Brother.  He took a good look, made some comments about babies drinking milk and crying, and then proceeded to bounce on the bed; play with the toys sent to him by his grandpa; attempt an escape to run wild through the halls of the maternity ward; eat the cupcakes the MiL made for us just this morning; and eventually sit on the bed with me to watch a few minutes of "The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh," courtesy of the very same wireless Internet that is bringing you this important update.

In other words, he ping-ponged off the walls for an hour and then whirled out of here like the dervish he is, leaving me contemplating with some trepidation my new reality of Cubby+baby.

But let's not think about that yet!  At the moment, I am alone in an air conditioned room with only one sleeping child.  I have cupcakes to eat, real coffee to drink (again courtesy of the MiL and the thermos she thoughtfully delivered when she came to visit), and Internet access.  Not too shabby.

Plus, there's this baby here who seems to be practically perfect in every way.  So yeah.  You could say life is pretty good right now.
