Where Babies Come From

Happy August everybody. To think about what I was doing/where I was this time last year is pretty mindblowing: sitting in a hospital bed, wearing an oxygen mask and getting probes attached to my belly every 4 or 5 hours to make sure the ladies were still alive.

This Saturday, the ladies turn 1 (!!!!!)We are having an open house birthday party in the afternoon. If you want to come and didn't get an invite, let me know. I probably didn't send you one because you are either far away (Reech) or didn't want to obligate anyone to present-buying (so not the point).

Soon I will get all teary-eyed and recount the big old birthing experience, which is coming back to me in these snippets of memories, mostly olfactory. But I do that only to remember it myself, and know that it will bore 99% of you who actually read this.
