Urban Drool

She was one of the first to read and comment on my blog.

She quickly took me to her heart as a cherished friend - mostly due to our mutual adoration of HBO original series.

She listened to my hysterical ramblings and blahlers - stuff that was sometimes even too queer to write about on my blog.

She was the first to know about my precarious pregnancy.

She was the first to know about the birth of Lucy - the first time we spoke on the phone - Cleveland, Ohio to the south of England at 36 hours post partum.

She introduced me to my most excellent friend, the incomperable Miss Molly. Together, the three of us willed away many a "working" day (HA!), swapping e-mailed pictures of our favorite Hollywood eye candy.

I cried with joy when her IVF was successful.

I listened and responded in kind to her own hysterical ramblings and general angst during her own pregnancy - honored to be able to return the favor.

She is full of wit, charm, snarkiness and warm, understanding empathy.

She is also in labor, even as we speak.

An early morning email from her today and a voice mail on my answering machine from her Baz later on confirms that, despite only being 35 weeks, we are indeed looking at a baby coming within the next day or so.

I am thinking, smiling, hoping and obsessively checking my email and listening for my phone.

I dearly want a happy, easy birth for her. I want a healthy, joyous baby for her - pink and chubby and full of charm.

I love you, my friend.

You can do it.

YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

And now she's here! I don't know if Pru is going to use real baby name or not on her blog, so in the meantime I shall refer to my wee little "niece" as Glory.

Glory is here, safe and sound. She weighs in at a hefty 5lbs, 14oz, which is quite an impressive size, considering her early arrival.

Mom and babbo are doing well.

and so we have again with the YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
