Still no baby

beaz and Melinda raced to the hospital around one this morning. Mom and Beaz sent me text messages at about the same time letting me know. Boy, that was fun: searching for my the TARDIS whooshing noise amongst the unpacking debris I'd left scattered on my dresser. Mom texted again around seven to say that not much was going on. She and Pete went home to catch a nap a few hours ago. Daddy's in the waiting room and called me to let me know that Melinda's getting loaded up with pain meds. Mimi's been asking me for suggestions on how to be an aunt. That tickles me.

He's heeeeere!

Jonathan Thomas was born 5:45pm ET. 8lbs 1oz of squirmy, fussy love. Hooray!

Geek alert

Hubbyfink's playing Assassin's Creed 2 which is set in 1480s Florence and Venice, and I'm critiquing the clothes of the NPCs in the background. There have been some decent outfits, but I've spotted an Elizabethan-era tall hat and the Florentine whores are wearing the 16th century pointy Venetian hairstyle (did they wear that style in Florence?). The street doctor is wearing a plague mask; that's a nice touch. Most of the women are in gamurre; I've seen a couple of giornee. Hubbyfink's spotted some chaperones and bag hats among the men.

I'm anxiously awaiting his character's arrival in Venice. Heh heh heh.

ETA: Neck ruffs?? In 1480 Florence?? Say it ain't so!
