I am now a mother. Holy shit!

I've been neglecting Livejournal. I mean, it's not like this is a wholly unheard of occurrence since I routinely up and disappear for months at a time, but this time I really am guilty. I had a momentous life experience and I didn't say anything about it here. I've been avoiding it, actually, because by now I feel a bit like a broken record

Congratulations to you and the rest of the family! What a pretty boy you've got there. :D *loads of hugs*

OH YAY!

I've been thinking of you often. Well told birth story! And your description of what "incorrect" contractions feel like may even be useful to someone else, who knows?

I'm sorry you had such a rough time, but boy, what an "outcome" as the doctors say! He's beautiful! (Tell Schneeb to stop being Atlas or I'll come and wave a Gorgon's head at him.)

BTW, some of your friends in #iff are enquiring as to whether Rowan will have a Chinese name, and if so, what that name is.

Also, I don't know who's more adorable; your baby, or your husband nuzzling your baby.

I'll say both. Rowan will have a Chinese name but my mother has not bothered to tell me what it is yet. So we're still waiting.
