It seems like everyone I know is having a baby. My cousin, Andy, and his wife, Cristine, just had their second a few weeks ago. My cousin, Lori, and her husband, Eugene, are expecting their second any day now (theirs was due Nov 8). My good friend (and resident historian), Sarah, and her hubby, Dave, are expecting their first in January. Then her friend Deepa, and her husband, David, are due in February. And then my friend Clayton, and his gf, Jodelene, are having one in March. (Interestingly, Sarah & Dave refer to their wee one as “humpy,” while Clayton & Jodelene’s is known as “bumpy.” No relation.)
And my blog friend (my bliend?) Stacia is having a baby. Like right at this very moment, as I type this, she is having a baby!! How freaking exciting is that?? Stacia & Wes – best wishes for a safe and quick delivery. Can’t wait to see photos of your little Navy Bean!

#1 My cousin, Lori and her husband, Eugene, had actually had their baby when I original posted the message. Little Beatrice Dale Anne, a baby sister for Imogen, was born at 8:30 p.m. on Nov 10. Everyone is doing well. I’ve gotten pics via email, but I’m sure they will put some up on their picture blog soon and then I can link to those.
#2 Little Navy Bean was born on Nov. 11, 2008 at 9:43am. Check out her pics – she’s adorable!

Not To Be Trusted With Knives 
You know I read this, and then I went away, and then I found myself reflecting on it on the bus into work. And for some reason, Clayton and Jodelene were calling their kid “Lumpy” in my head, and I was giving significant thought to how I could diplomatically say that that was… probably not the nicest of nicknames.
But, yeah, nevermind.
