Hey guys, thanks for the kind words about men. What a strange trip it's been this year. I know some really fine guys (some of my best friends, etc). I know some of you have really fine guys in your life. My brother is a really fine guy. I just haven't met the one who fits with me yet. You are all invited to the party when I do!

Yep, 9# 7oz, no tears, and, in fact, delivered in triage (the admitting area), because no time to get on the elevator and go up to L&D! A nice birth. The next lady had a 6# 8oz girl in our alternative birth center. Also a lovely birth. July is always a busy month, but I'm staying over my shift because we have another lady soon to deliver, and *8* women on the mother-baby unit to see! Baby Boom!

I love the image of the cedar waxwings cleaning the berries off the holly tree.
