unbeknownst to me (because of the whole i'm in london thing) my shannon had a baby on saturday evening.
would everyone please give a warm welcome to a tiny, 6 pound beatrice abbot quiggle!
i heard her voice tonight over the phone; from erie, pa to belfast she cried, and i get to meet her in four weeks.
i'm in love.
i have mascara raccoon eyes after hearing shannon tell, so matter-of-factly, a story of contractions, the epidural that would never be, push, don't push. a tall, weeping husband holding his little bean for the first time with shaky arms. thick black hair (that will probably all fall out) and the longest eyelashes. full lips. skinny legs.
home is where i want to be. pick me up and turn me 'round.

one hundred thousand welcomes to baby Beatrice!
yes, yes. and do send all a photo as soon as there is one or as soon as the baby exits its "ugly baby" stage, whichever comes first.
*sits silently, waiting for the onslaught of women in the room who'll cry that no baby is ever ugly*
*plans responses to prove they are lying/just being nice*
ta ta.
