Spawn version 2.0 photos.

May 09, 2008 11:37

So I figure that since my new spawn has been around for almost two weeks now, I should get off my ass and post some pictures.

( Cut for baby photo dump. But first, some random observations about the last few weeks. )

spawn, real life crazy

(I was also always reminded of how I thoughtlessly peed over the attending doctor upon my birth, a story I enjoy telling everyone millions of times.).

Heh, Ivy likes to do this to us every time we're almost done changing her, which is really funny when it happens to my husband, but not so amusing when it happens to me. Sadly I've already tried the maternal guilt trip, but it has no effect on someone who is two weeks old.

May your children never be as horrible as my mother's.

Roflmao. I think we're well on our way already.

Yay! Oh, man, what a cutie! And Ivy is a great name! I love it! Congrats!

Heh thanks. I'm glad you like the name as my family was giving me weird looks about it lol. Then again, my parents wanted me to name her Dominique, so it's clear that they have no taste, lol.

I've always liked the name Dominique. XD

I plan on having some kind of slide show presentation complete with naked baby pictures and embarrassing stories all prepared for when she brings dates over, because what's the fun of having kids if you can't embarrass them in front of their friends, lol?

(Okay probably not, but not because I'm a nice mom, but rather because I'm a lazy ass and procrastinator.)

Aww she's totally adorable and looks really sweet. She's beautiful :)

Personally I don't plan on having any children for as long as I live because I can't stand the thought of something growing inside me, even if that something is truly wonderful and a brand new human being created from scratch. Plus from what I've heard, the process of labor and birth are... well, how you just described it and how you experienced, heh.

But anyway enough of my babbling. Ivy is truly beautiful and I'm sure she'll make you proud :)

Thanks! Labor universally sucks as far as I can tell, but pregnancy can be easy or hard depending. For me, my son was a really easy pregnancy (I felt pretty great the whole time), but for some reason I was sick non stop this time, and I have no freaking idea why. Generally the end result is worth it, although for the first few months or so it's not exactly a cakewalk either.

I have been wondering about you and the new spawnling. congrats! She's already so blonde! Was Erik like that too? She's also gorgeous, and if I do say so myself, looks great in black. And pink. And yellow for that matter.

Have you read "The Changling" by Zilpha Keatly Snyder? It's always what I think of with the name Ivy. (In a good way, I love the name.)

Erik was actually more blonde with more hair than she has. I'm glad that both of them were born with hair, because I just had really blond peachfuzz and nearly bald for like two years before my hair grew in (my parents were understandably freaking out about this).

I haven't read the book, but I've been reading a ton lately. Is it good?
