Happy proof of life

[hiyacynth]

Hello, dear Flist! I exist! I've been even more quiet than usual on the LJ front for a couple reasons.

The first is the same one that's been going on all year-I'm not actively fannish about much these days. Supernatural hiatus draws to a close, and I just haven't been reading fic or engaging with fandom in a long time. I did find myself overcome

Aww, Cynthia! I'm so happy for you both! Big congrats. :) I remember well all the tension of the first trimester, so I'm glad you've had so much affirmation with all the testing (and passing the various milestones). Enjoy your pregnancy!

Thanks so much, my friend. We're both so happy, and just plain old excited about all the changes coming our way.

(Funniest preview moment so far: Marc going completely gray when his 4-week-old niece spit up on him, then visibly pulling himself together so he could safely hand her off before he tore out of the room to clean off his arm and change his shirt.)

LOL at Marc with the spitting up. Oh, Marc. There's more where that came from. So, so much more. In fact, here's a story you can share with him just to heighten his angst. When my oldest was a baby, one time Jon was changing her diaper on the changing table, and she had diarrhea right in the middle of the change, and the diarrhea splattered the wall and a lamp.

Oh, man. That's just gross! I anticipate many LOLable updates about Marc's reactions to various body functions. He just isn't great with that stuff, and has little to no infant experience. I think he did some baby-sitting for toddlers when he was a teenager, but as far as I can tell, he's never changed a diaper.

Yeah. This is going to be amusing.

I'm guessing most guys don't change their first diaper until they have their own kid. And even then, some guys don't do that until months after the baby's born. I have a friend who said her husband almost never changed their baby's diaper.
