Good heavens people, do you expect her to post from her hospital bed, trying to balance both the baby AND the laptop on her knees? :dubious:

_Looks around, notices big flashing SDMB sign over the door._

Of course you’re expecting her to post from her hospital bed while balancing both the baby and the laptop on her knees. :smack:

Rest well, and post soon.

Of course not. Don’t be ridiculous. That’s why they have those rolling tables that fit right over your bed, right? (For the laptop, that is. Not the baby.)

Seriously, I hope all is going well.

Of course not. Her husband will be holding the baby. Or she will, and he’ll post for her.

hey, if I can send emails with one hand while the other is getting an IV in prep for an _emergency_ C-section, anything less is simply _expected_. This was pre-Dope of course or _certainly_ I’d have posted at the time 🙂
