Alright. Flush the bombers, get the subs in launch mode. We are at BABBYCON 1. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 68 Amurrkin out and cloudy. 68 shall be our high along with rain/tstorms/apocalypse accordin’ to TWPTB. Still up in the air as to deheathenization this mornin’. We had discussed N.O.L. at the local good seafood place so who knows what we will do today. We’re all willy-nilly. **MOOOOOOM** YAY! Roxy wanted to wait until you were there to make her debut. How sweet! Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, well, we shall see. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

**Mooooooomm,** we are waiting with bated breath here (ok, **spidey, flytrap, adn doggio** are waiting with baited breath, but what’s a vowel between friends?) for Roxy’s imminent arrival. Still having a little rain fall, it’s been pretty consistent since yesterday morning. At least the lawn is greening up nicely. Only three pages in the MMP this week? Usually we get 5 or 6 pages. Guess it was a slow week for mumpers. ---

C’mon babby! We’re waiting! Spent the night being sick last night, and I feel completely washed out and in need of brain today. Very annoying, I had plans, but I don’t want to do anything but go back to bed. Dunno if it’s a bug or food poisoning or what, but I’m not impressed. ---

It is as **BooFae and Nuts** would say bucketin’ down outside. Thus we have made the executive decision not to deheathenate. We may go to the local seafood place if’n the rain lets up, however. Hey, if we’re goin’ to be heathens might as well go all the way. 😃 **{{{Nuts}}}** hope you’re feelin’ better soonest. ---

It’s bucketing Dow outside, 37 degrees with 40 mph wind gusts. Just like yesterday. Chance of snow tonight. Will spring ever arrive? ---

**FCM** , I hope that baby doesn’t take too long. My sister’s first one took sixteen hours. As a first baby I was rather quick, under six hours. ---

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off today. More hockey watching today. 🙂 I was awakened at 0600 by somebody doing zoomies through the apartment while yowling her favorite opera aria(La Bowl del la Food is Bare) > [@The\_Vorlon](#): > > Flush the bombers That’s what happens when you eat 10 Taco Bell bean burritos at 0300. > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > (ok, **spidey, flytrap, adn doggio** are waiting with baited breath, but what’s a vowel between friends?)

**FCM** , I’m glad the baby is happy, healthy and hungry! I’d hoped it would be soon, I’m going to lie down as I’ve got a headache and sore throat. I also have to go to work way early tomorrow.:mad: Keep us updated about the baby. Maybe we can match the kid with another Doper grandchild and start raising hereditary Dopers!😛 ---
