Has the day finally come?
So here's the deal right? I hesitate to write this because I feel like the sheer act of typing it in to the text field may, in some deep superstitious way that we only really understand with our animal minds, jinx it and make it not happen but here goes anyway:
Tomorrow afternoon UltraGirl is scheduled to go in for a c-section which should result in the safe extraction of our good friend Voldemort. He will at long last have the opportunity to meet the dapper Nakamurasan who will be 2 days his elder, and the beautiful though not very awake yet girl who's proud father we met briefly this afternoon and who's name I do not recall.
He will also, according to Kristen share a birthday with our friend Jim as well as share the day [one month later] with his Aunt Heather. Of course he could decide to come naturally tonight [though he shows no signs of being so inclined], but if he doesn't make it out in the next hour and 10 minutes all of the preceding birthday stuff will still be true.
So that's all the news that is fit to print. Mommy is doing well, her cough finally subsiding a bit, but sh is a bummed that she won't be able to partake of the hospital food for a couple of days yet. She'll still get plenty of opportunities to eat it though because she'll be in hospital for another 7 days starting tomorrow for a grand total of 10 days when all is said and done. I'm very glad that a c-section is a surgery covered by national health insurance.

Its this big guy's turn for the spotlight. Just finished chatting with him on Skype and was struck, as always, by his insight and humor. Get well, Baby. Don't let that cold get the best of you. Take some Zicam.
UltraGirl
95.4
This girl has been lately leaving insightful comments on my posts, a move likely to ensure her a good ranking on the Oriko Leaderboard. Thanks, UltraGirl. I too am glad my camera returned from the Center of the Earth. And do give those cranberries another try.

k Has been a little busy, but hopefully that's good news for Akatombo Media. We keep missing each other on Skype, but we'll figure it out one of these days. Thanks for the comments. Someday I may finish writing about the trip!

Am a little disappointed cause I thought I was going to get to see this guy next weekend at Aunt Debi's wedding. Now he's not coming after all, which is probably a wise choice and all, but still drops him a bit in the Leaderboard ratings til I get over it. Give me another day or two. And he DID make me and UltraDad a super-awesome Anniversary Card with a fun guessing game. We're still waiting to hear....who won?
Heather

Hasn't been leaving comments, and refuses to share her taco dip recipe, but she did send UltraDad and me an absolutely gorgeous Anniversary card and cash for a dinner out, which we have already made use of. Thanks, Honey.
Polly
88.0
I'm going to leave this kitty up here ahead of the dogs for now. They are still barking at her at every juncture, and as far as I can see, the only thing she does to instigate it is to exist.
Murphy the Wonderdog
87.9
Doesn't bark at Polly as much as his little demon-brother, but does bark at said brother way too much. Murphy, you are the (relatively speaking) "Big Dog". If you want the chewbone Rowdy has, don't bark at him; take it away from him!
Rowdy
75.0
Still too much barking, and a little too much pooping and peeing in the house. Is starting to learn a few tricks, but is not as clever as Murphy in that way.

Have you heard the song Wonder by Colin Meloy? I think you will find it very appropriate as a soundtrack to your life tomorrow.

Poor little UltraBob. This has been very stressful on you. Sometimes I think it would be harder not being the active participant (ie the mother), though, of course, less painful! Keep your chin up, Kiddo. And of course much love to UltraGirl.

Well she shouldn't have made it so damn comfy for him in there!
Have my fingers crossed for you guys - this must be torture.

I just got the message and I am soooo excited! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! You failed to mention his name on the message though and I really want a picture. So glad everything went well and everyone is healthy. Can't wait to meet and hold him:)
