Has the day finally come?

Friday, April 25th, 2008

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.

    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.

    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:)
