I considered posting this. **Mouse\_Maven**! Where are you!? Whenever a few days of reading the boards go by and Mouse hasn’t posted anything that I have come across, I wonder if she is gone because she’s having the baby. I remember that it wasn’t long after I posted the “My wife is pregnant” thread that **Mouse\_Maven** posted the “I’m pregnant” thread. Of course, our son was born pretty early (4 weeks early according to the doctor), so there is a delay if everything is going right. **Mouse\_Maven** , I hope we find out soon! I’m waiting on pictures! Brendon Small ---

Oh dear. I haven’t seen her on LJ, either. I’ll go see when her last post was. …August 31st. So it’s been about a week. I sure hope she’s OK. And she was kind of stressed in the last post, too. ---

August 31st was her last post on here, too. I got an email from her on September 2nd which indicated she was going to be very busy for a while, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t have time to post, dealing with family stuff. But she sounded okay, just…busy. I hope she posts some sort of update here soon. I’ll drop her an email to let her know folks are thinking about her. ---

K, thanks. I thought I’d give her a venue to brag/vent about her pregnancy, too, so she wouldn’t have to feel self-conscious about starting one herself. ---

[QUOTE=gigi] Speaking of which, **Brendon** , where are the latest pix of the Smallest Small??? [/QUOTE] We have taken 500000000 pictures of him (it seems like it anyways), and they are scattered all over my home. I will take some time on saturday and organize them into a nice coherent album. I’ll post a link somewhere here on the boards, or message those who express interest. Brendon ---

And Brendon, remember to keep several copies of the most embarassing pics for blackmail later 😉 Just kidding. My folks kept the photo developing companies in business when I was a wee banesidhe. ---

I don’t want to give away any surprises that should rightfully be hers without permission, so I’ll just - I got an e-mail from her, and she’s OK. 🙂 ---

Hi everybody! Didn’t realise that I would be missed. Things have been crazy. Let me sum up: Gave birth on Sunday, September 2nd. The Mouseling was early - not due until the 28th but not a preme. Stayed in hospital until Wednesday. Mouseling is now Glow\_Worm because she’s getting phototherapy for jaundice. Sent some details to WhyNot. Hopefully she will be kind enough to post them. (Email can written a little at a time and saved. Posts can’t - as far as I know.) [Baby photos](http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i292/mouse_maven/Heather/) Enjoy! (Please send sleep. 😃 ) ---

[QUOTE=Mouse\_Maven] Enjoy! (Please send sleep. 😃 ) [/QUOTE] She’s lovely! She’s a good size, too. As for sleep…catch naps when you can. That’s all you can do for the first month. Rest well, and turn that baby pink! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/waiting-for-mouse-maven-to-pop-what-are-you-still-here-taps-foot-impatiently/418306.md?page=2)
