My dear friend and colleague, medievalist extraordinaire Guyda Armstrong had a baby! Happy news, this, and a hyooge kid too: 11lbs 8oz. I wonder if it’d be okay for me to put up a link to the photos: Guyda, Jon and little Ishmael are awfully cool people.
(Yes, even the kid. I knew him when he was a bean.)
A sadder event is Noah’s imminent departure for Australia and the world. Hopefully there will be fun, and few deadlines, along his way.
Aw, shit, he beat me by an ounce.
Of course, my mother smoked cigarettes when she was pregnant with me, so that probably limited my birthweight a bit. :-)
A bean? Is that like an embryo, or what?
Yeah, throughout most of the pregnancy Guyda referred to him/it as “bean.”
feel free to put up the link – we’ll get around to updating the pictures sometime if we have time between nappy changes and endless feeds! (and Vika, you are too, too generous with your praise).
