  1. “they don’t sleep that long till they’re off breast milk”

    So true. The Champs were breast fed and woke up all the time for almost a year. I was so envious of my friends with bottle fed babies as my friends (and the babies) were sleeping through the night almost from the get go.

  2. Congratulations, THL! Wow…a kid. Well, you sound like the right person for parenthood – intelligent, patient and with a sense of humor. You’ll need it!

    My partner’s birthday is coming up.
    If you’re a man would you prefer to get a laptop or TV as a gift from the most wonderful woman on earth, ME.

    Get him a laptop AND THEN get naked and give him a lap dance. Since you are the most beautiful woman in the world, he will be taken care of for at least the next six months!

  3. donatella, in the end I got just about everything. The last thing was glass shower doors, and that started running into post-Lehman, so it took six months.

    But there is a list of people that are owed $120,000. His store has not been open for a month, and his website has been taken over (seems he didn’t even pay for that).

    The worst case is a woman in PLG who was gonna take out the back of her house and add a bunch of glass doors and windows. Brian said, yeah, I got the best Marvin window guy, yada yada, collected 30k from her over a year ago. She took out the back of the house, it is now closed with plywood and plastic since she doesn’t have another 30k to finish the job with someone reputable.

  4. “stew peas is actually like a stew of thick beef gravy made with oxtail and thyme and delicious beans”

    Gem, sounds delicious, I’ve heard that oxtail is really popular, especially for special events. Haven’t tried it, yet! I did have breadfruit and a number of jerk dishes. And learned how to make the rice & peas with fresh coconut ‘milk’!

  5. “The oddest part was I totally thought of you all during my labor.”

    Probably because the pains associated with hanging around with PLUSAs and going through labour are very similar.

  6. THL, try to get some sleep whenever the baby sleeps. they don’t sleep that long till they’re off breast milk – ie they can absorb breast milk super fast hence the constanting feeding
