I'm still in Alaska. It was amazing weather in Ketchikan today and we are now headed toward Juneau. Lots of prep for next week still to be done and internet is crazy expensive ($.40/min) and a pain to get and slow on board the ship, but I'm mostly having a good time. The scenery is really amazing, and it will only be made better when Kristin gets on board on Saturday. Missing you sweetie!
I would be there right now.

So, I met little Idris tonight. Or should I say big Idris. He was TEN POUNDS, TWELVE OUNCES! My ladyparts hurt just thinking about it.
The midwife said that the placenta was the biggest she'd seen. She and the birth assistant took pictures. I saw a picture, apparently it was enough placenta for three babies. I had no frame of reference, but it seemed big to have come out of a person.
He's a bruiser! I swear, he does not look like a newborn. [link]

“Not dead yet!”
Aw man, can't see.
ETA: TEN POUNDS TWELVE OUNCES? That's more than two pounds heavier than either of mine.
ouchies.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, after several tries, I got good enough at the slalom game that Wii Fit has stopped telling me that I'm unbalanced. They seriously couldn't think of a better word than "unbalanced"?
I think I like the balance games better than the yoga. I haven't tried the strength training or the aerobics yet.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
He's a bruiser! I swear, he does not look like a newborn.
He really doesn't. But he's a cute bruiser.

Holy crap, that's a newborn? I mean, a today- born? Man. That's a lot of cute for one day.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Me too, please? I'm Zmayhem. Can't imagine why we're not already mutually friended.
Closing in on eleven pounds? Damn, your poor SIL! Did she manage to go the whole distance and deliver naturally? I am in awe, especially considering that 3 1/2 hours of pushing wasn't enough to get Matilda's paltry 6 lbs. and change out without assistance. Seriously, that woman deserves big extravagant gifts on Idris's birthday for pretty much ever.
