Writing From the Master Suite of My Stately Dutch Mansion While Wearing a Fetching Pink Quilted Bed Coat...

The Interminable Gestation drew to a hasty close nigh on a fortnight ago but I find that a little physical frustration at the close makes one so much more cheerful when sleepless nights ensue and, if you'll excuse a little TMI, when the milk comes in.


Betty Maren and I are doing swimmingly and I have no thoughts of handing her off to a beleaguered relative while I accompany my husband to South America for two years or rescue him from a Middle East prison.  We are just setting nice, low bars each day while I eat her cheeks up.  The fourth pledge (a harem-scarum four-year-old) says, "Ooooooh!  Baby Maren is so delicious!" 
Thank you all for your well wishes!

    She is sooooo cute!
    What color are her eyes? Or is it too soon to tell?

    Your hair looks suspiciously clean and shiny for someone who isn't abandoning her child to a beleaguered r. And what are you talking about cheeks? The whole baby looks delightfully tasty! Especially wrapped in all that hand-knit goodness.
