It's a boy!

So we can't name the baby Ginger, after all. But that's fine. I'm so happy that he's healthy and everything looks good.

A couple of pictures of the little guy:





His head is on the left :)

He even opened his mouth once while the technician was taking pictures. That made her smile :) I got to see his toes, too.

Thanks :) It might look like me, though. I have this theory that people look like their opposite-sex parent. Though I look like my mom...

Liz's comment begs the question: are there ugly uteruses?

Congrats on the boy! You know Slade (hundredacrewood.blogspot.com) just had a baby boy last May. And what's funny is that I would have imagined both of you would have girls :) Maybe it's your love for pink.

I thought I was going to have a girl! But I adjusted very quickly :) Maybe if you like pink, it means you have boys...

Thanks for the primer on which end is which. I dificulty telling, even after their born. Can't they put tatoos on each end, 'in' and 'out'. I think that would be useful.
as for the picture itself, I think he looks like you.

A boy - how fun! I have this idea that even though girls might be more fun to dress as kids, etc., it's much easier on women to raise boys since you don't have to fight with a mini version of yourself as a teenager. And Ginger was your g girl name? I didn't guess that one, but it was definitely old school like mine is (Gladys).

Gladys...wow! I never guessed. I think you're right; the message boards all say the mother-son bond is very special, and I did think if I had a girl she'd probably hate me when she was a teenager :( I'm very excited...

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

Eat, knit and be happy

So I went to knitting class today. It was a lot of fun. The knitting cafe was buried deep in the Village, further south than I tend to go, but I found it after a little bit of exploring. The cafe itself was just adorable. Their motto is the title of this post. There was a counter where they sold brownies, tea and other goodies (my attention was caught and held by the nice, thick, chocolatey brownies). Two other women showed up for the class. One of them just got a part in a student-written play (she was maybe in her 40s) and had to knit in a scene while arguing with her husband. She wanted to be able to knit convincingly. The instructor commended her for this, noting that often in the movies when people are supposed to be knitting, they're not doing it right and it takes her out of the story ;) Knitting is surprisingly easy if someone teaches you live. As the teacher put it, "Everyone walks out a knitter." I had my doubts at first, because the Internet instructions weren...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
