This is to let you know Lola Theodora was born on Sunday February 5th
at 10:45 PM at home after a long labour, one week early, and is the
cutest thing in the universe!  She weighed 8 pounds and is 20 inches
long.

Well....it all started at 11pm on Thursday night with little regular
twinges in my back and tummy.  By 12 they were quick regular and

1am I phoned her back and asked her to come and hang out at my house as

I work in labor and delivery and am glad to meet everyone here.  If
anyone has any questions for me, I'd be glad to try to answer them.

Sorry, I am getting stange behavior in my newsreader.  Posts
to test groups work, am testing with a "rea" group.

I've noticed that most soft toys say they're not suitable for children 3
years and under. Occasionally I see soft toys that are supposed to be
suitable from birth, but I can't figure out what the difference is. I'd
rather like to make my own soft toys, but don't want to make them ...

about a few days ago were actually a bit serious. All is fine now, but I
had a kidney infection and it was bringing on labor. I've been taking
antibiotics and things calmed down.

I am just 8 weeks into my first pregnancy.  So, I must ask....has
anyone else experienced this (and any suggestions would be more than
appreciated):

Pictures of my poor car. lol
I couldn't resist. :(  Posted as OT for a reason, but that's alright.  I
just got these pictures yesterday morning.  My dad took them and emailed
