Shameless cuteness pic: Say hello to a quickly growing liberal!

[iconoclastic cat]

Six more weeks (or so) and there will be another Emily the Strange fan in the world.

Ana Lucia Cat:



Yeah, I know: I'm totally fishing for posts. But doesn't she have her mom's nose?

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. Hello cute baby!!

[iconoclastic cat]

14. Doesn't she look like she's jusk kickin' it in the womb...

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Kickin' it? *rubbing belly in memory* Yeah, she does. *l*

[iconoclastic cat]

18. Just floatin' along...

I envy Ms. IC...but I'll make up for it in dinnertime duty.

[Democracy White]

2. Awww!!! Baby!!!

So when are you due? Are you excited?

4. Supposedly six weeks from now.

Excited? Ya think?

[lateo]

3. First?

[iconoclastic cat]

6. Yep! I can't wait.

There are so many things that I can't wait to teach her. Reading, cooking, musical instruments, all that.

[lateo]

17. Well...good luck with that...

Babies fall into two categories...up every two hours crying for a bottle or sleeping good.

I have two girls and they were polar-opposites as babies. I think because we let the youngest sleep with us when she was born up to about 7 months. Just speculation of course because each child is so different.

[iconoclastic cat]

19. I've never really been able to sleep more than 3 hours at a stretch anyway

I don't think I'll be too thrown off by that.

Edit: Of course, I'm not the one who is a mobile lunch...

5. Wow, that's a clear picture! Welcome baby :-)

Congrats, Dad.

[iconoclastic cat]

9. Yeah, and if you look, she actually has more hair than Karl!

[caty]

7. Give her a pat

on mommy's tummy for all of us.:hi:

[iconoclastic cat]

13. She pats back, too!

Whenever I read to her, she starts kicking me in the head. Quite amusing.

[salin]

8. What a beautiful budding liberal!

[iconoclastic cat]

11. Yeah, it will be hard for her to get many conservative viewpoints here...

[BrklynLiberal]

10. Absolutely amazing.... that is an adorable nose.

:wow:

[iconoclastic cat]

12. Ana's nose looks almost EXACTLY like her mom's in profile.

[Arugula Latte]

16. How exciting! You won't believe how cool parenthood is.

It's just beyond words. Yes it is hard and tiring and all that. But all that pales in comparison to the laughter and joy and wonder that kids bring.

Just, be prepared for an avalanche of STUFF to descend on your house for years to come.

[iconoclastic cat]

21. Actually, I can't wait for the stuff.

My parents actually kept all the cool stuff that I had as a kid: Erector sets (motors and all that), stuffed animals, costumes...

Is one month too young for Halloween?

[Arugula Latte]

24. Heck no. Dress her up as a pea in a pod or one of those other

adorable baby costumes. What fun! You get to relive all that good stuff.

But the "stuff" stuff gets to be a bit much after the baby gets, oh, a couple dozen presents for birthdays/holidays from well-meaning family and friends and of course you guys, because, hey, it's fun to buy stuff for kids.

Sippy cups, little scattered shoes, macaroni and glitter artwork -- it's an avalanche. But well worth it.

[iconoclastic cat]

25. We already ordered the peapod snuggly!

[Arugula Latte]

27. All right! Please post pics. when your pea is out of her current pod

and in the replacement Snuggli pod, okay?

[Wapsie B]

20. Cool!

Early congrats on the new little Dem.

I'll take a nice Cohiba when it's time to pass out the cigars. ;-)

[iconoclastic cat]

22. My cigars will all be chocolate!

I have a feeling she'll do what I did politically: rebel and join the socialist party right off. I still voted for Clinton back then, though.

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. She's beautiful....

You will be a good father.

Sorry you didn't make it Sunday. Don't think any of your former colleagues were there....

[iconoclastic cat]

26. Yeah, I just really didn't want to go to Jimmy's.

I will make every effort to go to the next one, GAofT. I really will.
