Hey, I'm OK by the way!
I was randomly thinking about my Livejournal this morning (mostly how I used to enjoy posting in it so much) so I decided to see exactly when I had posted last, and my last post was more than a year ago, prior to having a baby. As they noted on "Up All Night" last week, you can't post somewhere "Hey having a baby/going to the hospital" and then disappear. So, for those of you who don't see evidence of my childbirth survival elsewhere (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, real life) I'm ok. I have a wonderful, healthy, fun 10-month old named Molly.
I have a conflict about posting more, because a lot of what I would say would be about her, probably, and I am not sure how much I want to put out there - trying to protect her, perhaps. I don't know, we'll see. I do other stuff too. For example, the other day I took a bunch of students out for a little ecological tour of the salt marsh and mudflat, and I ended up having to rescue a bunch of them from the mud. Then I had to swim after the teacher's shoe. The teacher later wrote: "Sara, you should have heard the kids talking about your heroism in saving them from the mud. You're a goddess to them." I am ok with being a mud goddess. (Detour to Google, where I find that there was indeed a mud goddess, Lahamu. Babylonian. Daughter of Tiamat!)
