To answer everyone’s questions in one handy post…she’s going to be a Josie, my husband is an amazing dad who takes constantly getting peed and pooped on with a remarkable sense of humor (I swear, it’s like she saves it up for when he’s doing the diaper change), and I am recovering from the surgery pretty well–I get my staples out tomorrow and all I can reallycomplain about is that the incision itches something awful and I can’t get the adhesive residue from the initial bandage off my belly. And now, sleep! ---

Sleep? What is this sleep you speak of? You have a newborn. It’s my understanding you won’t know what sleep is for quite some time. 😃 Congrats, drainy! ---

Congratulations, she is REALLY beautiful! And so are you - I was all blotchy and tear stained after my c-section! You’ll feel way better when the staples are out, much more bending room! Josie is a lovely name (I like Violet too…) ---

Hee. Keep looking at picture 030 and thinking, “I need to sing, and no one’s gonna stop me!” Give the li’l one extra hugs from us 'dopers! 🙂 ---

She is beautiful! Now you need some pussycats so she can have her own band. ---
