Mommy Wants Vodka » Blog Archive » By Popular Request…

By Popular Request…

February1

….may I introduce to you, my sweet Internet friends, my new daughter, Amelia Grace.

With her daddy…

With her youngest body guard…

And lastly, with her now neurotic and freaking the fuck out mother. Who could probably use some vodka right about now.

We’re home now and doing fantastically, save for the PANIC! that I seem to have coursing through my veins. What, me hormonal? Tomorrow, we’ll call the neurosurgeon (am not planning upon getting used to that phrase) and arrange an appointment to see when she’ll be having surgery to remove the hernia.

While he seemed unconcerned, this wasn’t HIS daughter’s head he was talking about, so you’ll have to excuse me now while I go drool over a bottle of Valium while stroking it lovingly. Thank you all so very much for your kind words and prayers. If anything has helped me, it is that.

Congratulations! She’s beautiful! I fell a bit behind on my blog reading over the last week, so I missed all the drama-I’m so glad she’s doing well. How scary that must have been for you and your husband! I’m sure it’s still scary, but you know that you have lots of people thinking about you and praying for you, and hopefully that counts for something.

P.S. For what it’s worth, I was a Wednesday child, and I am not full of woe!
