I have a baby. Okay, it's my sister's, but I get to share a little.

She's adorable, she's got buckets of hair, and her mommy and daddy couldn't be happier. They're bringing her home from the hospital any minute now, and I'll be here to say welcome home.

I will be gone for the next several days, as I visit my sister and her baby (who is due mid-December), and my friend and her baby (who was due mid-December, but decided that she wanted to show up at 27 weeks).

And I'm off (okay, in six hours, but still) to the wedding! The place is supposed to be beautiful--if I'm really, really lucky, I'll see whales--and my camera's all fixed and ready to go, so I'm really looking forward to that part of it. It's going to be a lot of people, a lot of family, and a lot of time around a lot more people than I'm used to ( Read more... )
