For me?
Wait, who’s having a boy?
Sigh, the mothers are always the last to know.
Sage is doing well for 40 weeks. Still active and on her feet.
Still on her feet and…oh my gosh, it’s coming! A self-induced c-section!
Surprise, it’s a girl! Born at 10:14 AM, 4 oz, fully clothed, and with no neck and no eyelids. Otherwise, totally healthy.
Mom and baby are doing well. They’re registered at Dylan’s Candy Bar and the bakery on the corner with the star cookies.
Your girls have the greatest sense of humour EVER.
I know I’m biased but I kind of agree. It comes from their father’s side.
No, really, those are some funny kids. 🙂 I’m guessing it’s genetic.
My sons are hypermanic Type-A personalities. Goddamn genes.
hahahaha!!
This makes me so happy.
Well really, if babies are being born fully clothed nowadays, what am I meant to give as a gift? What excuse will I have now for perusing all the cutesy wutesy baby clothes? Pfft, evolution is so inconsiderate.
Well she could use eyelids…
So you’re a grandma now? Nice!
self induced c section. my uterus is aching just thinking about that!
While I was pregnant, my son had a baby almost daily. He’d pull it from his shirt, wipe the body clean (“because they’re kinda mucky when they come out”) and then announce that his baby SISTER had just been born. (Yes, he wanted to give birth to his own sister. I disappointed him by giving birth to a brother.)
My sister! My daughter! My sister! My daughter!
OMG – I needed this chuckle this morning. Lucky, girl. Losing that baby weight shouldn’t be as big of a problem. Please also encourage Sage to breastfeed.
Hysterical!
There are so many little episodes in children’s play that it’s a huge gift when we catch them…of course, you were invited to be a part of this one. Too rad. And excellently chronicled.
So so precious, Grandma. Or is it Nanna, Gammy, GiGi, or the more formidable Grandmother Dearest.
I always liked Grandmama. Accent on the third syllable, like Mortiica used to say.
Congratulations. The birth of your first grand-doll is such a beautiful thing.
She has her great grandfather’s eyes. (But not his eyelids. Not anyone’s eyelids, actually.)
Ok, that was to stinkin cute!
And to think I was just worried about keeping my girls off the stripper pole…
I think the two might be correlated.
She’s so polite! My girls announced their “pregnancies” by giving “birth” loudly in my office, to much larger “babies” who were also afflicted with the lack of eyelid mutation. No cards, no notices, no showers. Just a, “Hey mom watch this!” They are very good mommies, though.
Made my day. Really. 40 weeks and no bed rest. She one-uped you, my dear. You’ll soon see that it’s great to be a grandmother. Really. All play. No work. Really.
Like!
I LOVE this so much! So cute. And? Love the Elephants on Parade stationary- good taste!
D’oh I should credit Magnificent Baby
for the stationery!
Oh this made me giggle! I didn’t know they made maternity paul frank tees.
Yes, maternity pjs in size 4T at Target. it’s a small but needy market.
Oh my god that is funny! So glad you got pictures for the new baby album.
Damn, Sage can do her own baby album. I’m still behind on hers.
I saw this earlier on Zutano’s FB page but didn’t have time to read. It is pricelessly classic.
I remember walking in on my eldest son, age 2ish, after the second son had been born, and he was holding my hand pump up under his shirt.
Monkey see, monkey do, I suppose.
this made me laugh – such a different (sweet) perspective than I live with – my boys who are raging with hormones state ‘they are going to have several 1000 kids so they can do it several 1000 times.’ at some point, I will have to let them know ‘it’ is not just for procreation. RB
Yeah, that’s more the kind of story I’m likely to hear at home.
Laughed at this one. My son gave birth to a bouncing baby rabbit last week.
Congratulations!
Aww that is just precious. I hope the baby sleeps well, it might be problem with the no-eyelids thingy…
Thank you for a laugh this morning and congratulations on the newest addition to your family! I hope that my little ones will have such wonderful senses of imagination and humour.
Wow! you really rock as a mom. For sure your girls will grow up to be your best friends. You really got a lot of sense of humor just like your girl.
So funny, Liz. Reminds me of when the Peanut was the same age as Sage. Must be a NYC thing. They grow up so fast here.

Hopefully not that fast!
That made me smile.
HOW CREATIVE.
OK – just peed my pants…..they are wicked. 🙂
This was awesome.
Fantastic. Did the family dog get the placenta?
That is just too funny. Kids are so creative. Love it.
Oh. My. God…that was hilarious. I loved the pictures. Amazing job!
I always wondered what children thought about child birth. I think they are going to be very disturbed when they figure out how it actually happens and how it actually feels. Also, so disappointed to find out you can’t pick the sex of the baby. Children are so adorable and innocent. Thanks for this post, it made my day.
