Mazel Tov and Ouch!

My dear friend Mara had a kid on Friday! I am so happy for her. My friend Sara and I are most excited to visit her and husband and baby in London at the end of February. We hope to bring companionship and amusing distractions to her, as well as basic American goods that she has been requesting.

That was the mazel tov (congrats in Hebrew). This is the ouch! - the baby was 9 lbs. 13 oz. Fortunately, both mom and baby are doing well as of this writing. :)

Another friend of mine had a kid at 4:30 this morning, so I am also happy for them, too. There was much less ouch involved, as her kid was only 8 lbs. 5 oz.

See what happens when I go out of town for a weekend?

  2. Why is it that the little b*****s always want to arrive in the middle of the night?

    Bring your warm clothes for the end of February as it will likely be pretty cold here then. We look forward to greeting you in the UK.
