Sam At Large

5 months old. Holes in her heart. Light as a feather.

Julie Charity Anne Zukowski.  I think that’s a fantastic name.

Phone pic from my mom (way to go on MMS sending, Judy!) as of an hour ago (2pm PST).  Baby Z is just too cute!  I can’t wait to go see her.

It’s a girl. 9 lbs 9 oz.  It’s official: I’m now an uncle.  More info and, most certainly, pics to come soon.

Thumbs up, is right!  Word from my sis is that she’ll be induced on Wednesday (2 days hence).  But, this evening, she was feeling cramps in her belly and felt heavier in the front.  So it could happen sooner.  Jen suspects that her obstetrician did ‘something’ during today’s weekly appointment.  Ever since seeing the doctor she’s been having the said cramps and heaviness.

Whatever.

It’s finally happening.  It’s been a long time for me and now she’s finally going to have the baby.  And don’t tell me that it’s been harder on her.  Excuses, excuses.  Get the kid out now!

I told Jen that from now on I would no longer be taking phone calls from her.  I will only speak to the baby.  People, don’t trouble me with your ‘facts,’ such as “But the baby won’t be able to speak for at least a year” or “He/She won’t know what a telephone is” or “You can’t speak ‘Infant’ anymore.”  Rules are the rules and I stand by my commitments.

I’ll be flying out to Edmonton this weekend.  My car’s a piece of crap so don’t get any ideas about stealing it.  Seriously.  It has rust.

I’ll update as events warrant.
