altarflameCrystal and Noel, you crazy fools! I got the booties and they are TO DIE FOR. Seriously you have no idea how I love them. Crystal...when I asked you about a link for those back in the day and you refused to give it to me, I was so pissed. Really, you would have been laughing your head off knowing your evil schemes :p Everyone else...they got me lambskin outer, soft wool inner 0-6 month booties for Jake to wear all winter. They're the softest shoes I've ever felt. I was drooling over that link for weeks, a few months into my pregnancy. I can't wait to be able to post a pic of him in them for you.
And CRYSTAL - your PACKAGE! My big kids really needed something for THEM, and this was perfect. They were so happy. It was like a clown car, more and more and more kept coming out of that little box. The Spiderman costume at the bottom was definitely the grand finale - I think Aaron almost fainted. He wore it to bed that night and jumped on the trampoline in it all the next day. He is BEYOND thrilled, and I've been wanting to get him one of those forever. Ananda has already painted shaker eggs and decorated her crown. Very very cool, Mama.
I also got home to a wonderful, professional quality fleece sling made by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rainingkisses and some very effective yeast killing, rash stomping salve that she reccomended to me. When I put it on Isaac he says "More more!"
The LJ love just doesn't quit.
Yes, please little guy just sleep until you can come home...
I love it when he looks at me :)
The hair!
And even better...the FUZZY SHOULDER!! There is nothing in the world so soft as the fuzzy shoulder of a new baby...
And a very short and uneventful movie, for anyone who is interested :)

I had my checkup at the birth center today. They gave me anica (I think that's the spelling?) to break up the hematoma on my back, and Discovery ended up filming my kids at play in the waiting room for about half an hour, for a show on siblings who are preparing for a new baby. Shari gave Isaac a book about a new baby coming home and talked to Ananda about helping me and me about tips, all semi-staged style, as well. I've lost my hostility towards the place, which was misbegotten anyway. They listened to my whole story and hugged me and told me that if I start running low on milk for Jake, there is screened donor milk there that I can have for free. And that if I have extra, when I get out, I can donate it to them and someone will use it. They also sent student midwives to the hospital to visit Grant and I, bring our sparkling grape juice from the fridge so we could still drink it, and deliver me vitamin e and zinc to help with my scar. In all these instances, btw, "They" are Shari and Angela.
:::sigh::: Ok. Time for bed. Grant and I have been trying to make sense of the house this evening, which sort of exploded since my mother and sister went home. It's late and I have pumping to do and he has work to hurry and do in the morning before my sister gets here so he can take me to the hospital and and and...
