I’m guessing that you’ll just \*call \*her Alice, then… 😉 Yay! She is really, really cute. So much hair for a blondie! Congrats! ---

Congratulations on your beautiful baby! But what was that nurse thinking? You don’t glue crappy bows on beautiful babies - they don’t need decorations. ---

> [@Eliahna](#): > > Congratulations on your beautiful baby! But what was that nurse thinking? You don’t glue crappy bows on beautiful babies - they don’t need decorations. Heh - they did that once for Moon Unit when she was in the NICU (once she was over the initial Bad Times). I asked how they did it. KY Jelly. No, I’m not kidding. I can’t imagine how it’d work, but it’s what the nurse told me, anyway. Oh, and more importantly: SQUEEEEEEEEE!!! :). ---

She’s perfect! Congratulations to big sister, dad, and mom (most of all). ---

Really? KY Jelly? I’d have never guessed that in a million years! (I guess I could have asked the nurses before I left the hospital, but I wasn’t talking to most of them by the time I left last week. I tend to be very unforgiving of people who interrupt my sleep for stupid reasons. Amanda the Night Nurse was awesome. Everyone else was allowed to live only because my husband wouldn’t bring me a big stick.) ---

That’s what they told me - though I don’t think the stuff is supposed to have such… adhesive properties :eek:. I hear ya on “allowed to live”. One of my many regrets about the butcher shop where Dweezil was delivered was that I only hit the doctor once. I didn’t have trouble with them interrupting my _sleep_, though I’ve learned to NOT list “Catholic” as my religion (I’m very, very lapsed)… as this is a 100% guarantee that someone will come to offer me communion while I’m in the bathroom. Seriously - every time I listed that, I got interrupted in the bathroom. I suppose if I listed Pastafarian someone would stop by with some mac&cheese, which would be slightly more interesting at least!
