One of my co-workers became a Grandma for the first time today. She brought in Stella Artois in honor of her new granddaughter Stella Catherine.
List of specialists Arrow has seen:

Allergist

He was also the only one of my 4 children to be born via C-section, although, in the end, it was probably unnecessary. I'd say you don't argue with a good outcome/healthy baby, but he isn't exactly healthy. He is, however, still alive. Yay, modern medicine!
Missing from the list to my great surprise - orthodontist. This kid did not need braces. One lucky draw in a whole handful of short sticks.
Two of my local theater buddies showed up in bit parts in "Kevin Can F__ Himself". Always exciting when people I know show up in stuff I'm watching.
Dude. I am on pins and needles here waiting on the announcement.
I'm giving him at least 2 days.
I bet that there had to be some pro-rat people during the Plague, right?
Meanwhile, French hurricane Henri appears to be headed in our general direction. The folks in southern New England may need to fasten their seat belts, could be lots of flooding, decent winds.
Ten years ago I was watching the TV coverage of Hurricane Irene when they mentioned "historic" damage in Vermont only about 25 miles from me... it really snuck up on us. It ended up doing about a billion dollars in damage, nearly all of it was flooding. Lots of hills plus big rain equals major flooding.
Henri will be chock full of water...must stock up on beer, meat and other essentials.
We’re all clear - little baby bunda-girl was delivered yesterday late afternoon just under 8 pounds. Mom and baby doing well, just recovering and napping until discharge day tomorrow.
Thanks for all the well wishes!
