Dear Jennifer, Greg, and Luke (DOB 6/8/06, 7.5 lbs),
My skin is in a little pile on the seat next to me because when Greg called me this morning I jumped right out of it. I knew that a phone call from him meant that Luke was finally born – I didn’t for one second worry that anything had gone wrong. Somehow, I just knew it was good news.
I am happy and fidgety like my own sister had a baby. I can’t wait to come see you all. I know that Luke’s birth is affecting me like this not only because Stewart and I love you all but also because I am having 2nd baby itch, so I’m trying to calm myself down. You must think I’m some crazy interloper. I know you have your own family and lots of really good friends who will be swarming around you this week.
So I will wait patiently (or not) until “the smoke clears” and I can be of some use to you. Because as people will tell you until you are sick to death of it and you want to punch them in the face, having a baby is HARD. And you SHOULD SLEEP WHEN THE BABY SLEEPS. But you won’t, and you will be tired, and even though you are very capable people there will be times when you will wonder what the heck you’ve gotten yourselves into. And I will be there to hold baby Luke and shoo you up to your bedroom to take a nap.
Love, Kim
Congratulations! And for the love of everything holy, if you do nothing else, SLEEP WHEN THE BABY SLEEPS.
Woo Hoo for new babies! Congrats!
Very nicely put. Hope you get your baby sniff fix soon.
Oh, and I have officially given Blogger the finger. I have imported my entire site to WordPress, comments and all. I will be posting there from now on. It was easy, it was clean, it was free, and best of all… it WORKS!!!!

You might want to change the link in your sidebar when you get a chance.
ANYTIME you feel that second baby urge… you can borrow or rent mine.
In fact, I’ll pay YOU!
