I love you guys!

[rbnyc]

You people are the best! I've had some really wonderful exchanges here lately, about difficult things and about silly things. Your caring and your interest and your generosity and your humor and your wisdom and your friendship are just outstanding. There's no place like The Lounge! Y'all rule!

2. Does this mean...?

You want to have a baby with me too? :o ;-) :loveya:

[rbnyc]

5. What if we combined all our genes?

What kind of kid would we get? Part woof, part NSMA, part matcom, part lynnesin, part rbnyc, part arwalden, part kleeb, part GOPisEvil, part short bus...imagine!

8. *shudder*

It would make Frankenstein's monster look like nothing but tinkertoys gone wrong! :o

3. Things getting better? I truly hope so.

Don't be rigid, it just makes it worse, and I know that is hard not to do, but try.

6. Damn, man...

if I had a dime for every time I've heard THAT!

"Don't be rigid, it just makes it worse"

9. Yeah. Things are really fine at home.

I had a minor melt down at work today, but DU buddies got me through, and then I told my hubby about it when I got home and he was a huge help.

These are stressful times, but we're seriously lucky in so many ways.

Thanks.

4. Hey, how's the baby?

[rbnyc]

10. Already babbling!

He's 11 weeks old and super talkative. Mostly vowel sounds, except for Ms and Gs, but a whole range of them and put together all different ways. Lots of intonations. He's a little genious.

:loveya:

Thanks!

[iconoclastic cat]

12. If I'm remembering correctly, the M's and G's develop with the soft palate

Have you looked into that whole sign language for babies thing? Look it up--they're seeing some fantastic results in terms of babies' abilities to use language. I saw it on PBS.

[rbnyc]

14. I had been planning that...

...but things got so crazy. And now it would really be up to his dad since he takes care of him all day during the week. I was totally sold on it, tho. Just never got around to actually learning the signs, tho they're not too hard.

7. And I love you right back.

But I hate everyone else. Especially DS1. And Kenny.

[rbnyc]

11. Ah, you love DS1 too.

It's like a kind of sickness.

;-)

[short bus president]

13. That boy...

he's just FULL of the sickness.

But yer right - how can ya help but love him?

;-)
