This is what we were up to yesterday (and the past 9 months): bringing 9lb 6oz Poesy into the world.
There's a 1-hour-old picture on Boing Boing, too, which I'm sure will be her bane baby-photo when she's older. Sorry Poe :-)
Things may be erratic around here awhile... xx

She's far too cute, and I love the skull blanket. How long will it be before she has her own cape and goggles?

Posted by: Rogelio Ariza (Roger) | February 05, 2008 at 16:53
Congratulations. I love the picture, its very artistic if you think about it. A newborn baby with skulls in the background. Sort of symbolises both life and death, the only two constants in our world!
Posted by: Nayl | February 05, 2008 at 17:15
OMG!! Congrats, Alice!! The baby is already super hip!

She's beautiful, Alice!
I can't wait to see her (if you ever make it back to this side of the pond)! Until then, rest assured Mike is taking good care of the carpet you sold him before you moved. Sorry we didn't get to hang out when you were in LA.
We are so happy for you both!

hi
congratulations to the three of you - a beautiful baby and wonderful name.
really great to see that all of you are healthy and happy.
hope you enjoy the rollercoaster next few months / years - probably best to keep your DS by your side between feeds to get some new high scores....
cheers
