Doing it for the kids

[sewing_on_ears]

I've been on the phone with various members of my family for most of the day. Trying to coordinate travel plans seems destined to fail, and of course everyone has their own "special" way to get from Lawrence to DC. Presumably there's some kind of underground railroad of which I was previously unaware

I've been doing a lot of swimming.

I heard from John - he's getting the train down from NYMA. Providing they don't withhold his weekend pass.

Uh huh.

Can you forward his arrival time to me? We'll figure out who can pick him up from the station...

How come you're going to Switzerland for Christmas.

Um. So. Your baby is... small.

There's a conference there at the beginning of December, and my paper was accepted. And since I'm not pregnant, I can go!

Well, he's only six weeks, and he was about four weeks premature, so he's pretty much the normal size for his age. Personally I'm glad he wasn't bigger. Try to put a watermelon up your ass and you might get an idea of what I mean.

But thanks for babysitting! Bobby said you were a natural.

Oh. Well, congrats.

Gee, thanks a fucking lot, Dr. Kelly. That was quite possibly the worst image ever.

Ahh. You're welcome. A natural? I don't think so. But I didn't drop him so points for me. That was my biggest fear with the whole thing. Plus, there were four of us. We managed more then okay.

Thanks :-)

Sorry. First image that came to mind...

Well, not dropping him is definitely the first step. He can get quite wiggly sometimes.

Jewelery! I mean, not with actual jewels, but you just get, like, um, wire and beads! And you put the beads on the wire! And then you have stuff!

Thanks for the thought, Mike, but I think that would keep her occupied for all of five minutes. And she's really not into jewelery of any sort.

Spiderman necklace!
