Welcome, Lily Ani. We've been expecting you. Sit down. Put your feet up. Relax. If you get bored, you can amuse yourself with the antics of Uncle Pene over there. He's the one grinning from ear to ear. Let Mom and Dad rest for a while. Your older sister can fill you in on the details while they are distracted.
You are loved, little one.

Sorry Sins, I think he's powered himself by too much hot air to have any interest in hydrogen.

We'll try to have all of this fixed before you grow up Lily.

Welcome to the world, Lily Ani!! (Does this make me, among others, a 'virtual great-aunt', I wonder?? I'd be glad to accept that status.)

Now let's see...

What rhymes with "Lily Ani?" Gotta think about that one.

Good on ya, Emily and Max!

I'm home, though my girls are not yet. They had a shortage of cots tonight at the hospital, so I solved their problem by coming home tonight. Everyone is very happy and healthy (and very tired), so it is certainly a joyous occasion. Can't rest yet, I have some pictures to put online. Just walked in the door for 24 hours of making life, so it may take me a moment to get my thoughts in order. Be back in several moments with some pictures, and hopefully more coherent thought.

Oh Max, now the adventure begins again... although at 9lbs she beat Bratling by 1/4 lb!

Enjoy her whilst you can... all too soon she'll be running rings around you and demanding everything in a putrid shade of pink!

Warmest wishes from the insomniacs on this side of the pond..... take care.

"coherent thought".........???????????

After just witnessing the miracle of a new life born??
Not a chance, Max.

We've stopped pacing....holding our breath.....waiting to hear everyone's ok.

Just know we're excited out here tonight.....and talk if you want.....or stare into space with a grin.....or strum your guitar with a grin. But coherent?? Naw...it's NOT required here.   bg

Rhyme? Well, there's Mililani, which is the name of a town in central Oahu--my Hawaiian dictionary tells me it means "To praise, exalt; give thanks." Sounds like a good word right about now. Mazel tov to Mom and Dad and big sister.

Wonderful! Much better news than anything else that came our way this evening!

Max, proofread the birth certificate! You two have chosen a beautiful name, and Pene Azul wrote it as "Lili Ani." Two 'L's. But I see many have already managed to misspell it with three 'L's. (Sorry to introduce this minor key, but my daughter's name was misspelled on her birth certificate after I expressly spelled it out letter by letter to the woman from the hospital who thought simple forms were too difficult for parents to fill out accurately! I had to jump through hoops to get it corrected!)

I tip my glass of wine to you all of you! Now try to get some sleep.

Yup! Definitely proof read! Pene Azul wrote it Lilly Ani on the other thread. So it's six of one, half dozen of the other at this point. But it's still a great name, however you spell it!

It's remarkable--sunshine at midnight. The glow from this thread is intense!
