Baby on the Way!

Chocolatl • Jun 11, 2012 5:08 pm
Hi everyone,

Hope you are all doing well! Life has gotten crazy these past few years and so I haven't been around much, but for those of you who have a long memory and remember us -- Kitsune and I are expecting our first baby in August! I'm currently 7.5 months and the baby girl and I are both healthy. I'm looking forward to posting in the Proud Parent thread. :)

Another baby girl for the Cellar! How delightful.
Many congratulations to you both and much love and luck.

Hope you've had an easier time than Ali, who has been sick as a parrot with her baby daughter.

Why wait. You could pull a Demi Moore and post right now on the Dwellar NSFW thread.


Kidding!

Here she is! We nicknamed our baby Beans based on how big she was at the beginning of pregnancy. :) She turned up August 20th by emergency c-section (fever, failure to progress, fetal distress, wrapped cord). She was only one day short of her due date and was born healthy at 6 lbs 12 oz. I recovered quickly, and am happy to report we're both doing very well. The weeks have flown by. I'm taking a year off from work as a teacher to be home with her, and I'm loving getting to know this little firecracker, who is strong, happy, and smart as hell!

Thanks all for the good wishes. :)
Much love,
-Choco

Thank heavens she looks like you and not what's his name.;)

Adorable!

Too cute! What a happy little one!
Congratulations :)
Clodfobble • Nov 3, 2012 9:41 pm
Well done, Choco and Kitsune. Well done indeed.
infinite monkey • Nov 3, 2012 10:28 pm
She looks so much like you two. Love the dark hair! She is a beauty!

Hard to say what her Winston Churchill index was since this photo is at 3 months. I'd bet it was low, though.
Trilby • Nov 4, 2012 9:40 am
Just saw this- what a bundle of joy you've got there!

Congrats!!
BigV • Nov 6, 2012 12:44 am
Normally, I'd just compliment Kitsune's skills as a master photographer. While I'm sure that's still true, with a subject like this, no talent is required.

that is one happy, beautiful baby! I am almost as happy for all of you as she clearly is!

How wonderful!!
Undertoad • Nov 6, 2012 6:04 am
It's good work by you guys.
Chocolatl • Nov 14, 2012 10:25 am
Thanks, everyone! She sure is keeping me busy. For the most part, she is a happy baby, but every now and then we get a visit from who we have dubbed The Other Baby -- the evil twin whose favorite pasttimes are screaming and punching me in the throat. (Yesterday was one of those days.)

(And V -- I get to take credit for this picture! :) )
BigV • Nov 14, 2012 10:50 am
Full credit then!

You have produced a lovely picture of a beautiful baby.

If I may... I know motherhood is rumored to be tiring, but don't rest on your laurels. More pictures, please. You wouldn't want to be regarded as a one hit wonder, wouldya?

If you insist!

She had a very low Churchill index, though when she was one month old she lost all the hair on top of her head. She kept all the hair on the sides and back, though, so she looked remarkably like Chairman Mao.
BigV • Nov 14, 2012 12:28 pm
that's funny!

The pics are great, and you all look beautiful. Kitsune and Beans, I like that one. But for her, there's no hammock, just daddy. And the last one? Come on. When you're a kid, Halloween *is* serious business.
Undertoad • Nov 14, 2012 12:38 pm
S'awesome is what it is.
plthijinx • Nov 14, 2012 9:51 pm
