My In-laws

These guys are great! My mother-in-law is an on-call LPN in Cheese-ville, and she works in the nursery with newborns and mommies. My father-in-law is a retired letter carrier in  Cheese-ville, and delivers flowers. They also both sell Post Office uniforms together.

We trade our Windows technical support and copy editing skills in exchange for their chocolate-chip cookies, baby sitting, and car rentals. I believe it is a pretty good arrangement.

This says nothing of how useful and wonderful they have been to our family; they were in town during the birth of each of our children, are very supportive of Cpu and I, and are otherwise kind, generous, and goodly atheists.

They also ply Bpu with fast food picnics over Meerkat Manor on some Friday nights, which I had reservations about: both the TV and the fast food.

I have made peace with their godless-given right to spoil her somewhat.

Baby Is Here

iPu and Cpu doing ok. Baby is happy and healthy, nursing ok, awaiting results of GBS test. 7lb 14 oz. and 21 inches long, February 7, 11:17 pm.

Cpu's bag broke February 7th, 5:15 pm. Cpu contacted my inlaws, who were in the area working, and they came buy afterwards to watch Bpu. Early labor persisted until about 8:30 pm. Cpu was pretty active, talking, cooking through contraptions until about 8:00. Dinner, muffins, and a coleslaw salad were made during the day. Not to mention the Bpu needed tending.

I called Chicago doula at onset of active labor, about 8:30, and Cpu took a shower while I cleaned up the kitchen and dining room. Then we worked together on hypnosis. Cpu needed a lot of counter pressure, and believed that the baby needed turning. Unable to turn baby with positioning. Chicago doula arrived at 9:30 pm, and after about 15 minutes informed us that we should get to the birthing center. In between contraptions, we got Cpu's coat, hat, etc. on. It is very cold here right now. I split extra stuff with Chicago doula and put it all in the car.

The green choo choo did not start. Did I mention that it is cold out and my wife is in active labor?
