Not only is it 3:31 am, it is also the day we go into the hospital to have Esmerelda Freugenspeigel.
Apparently my body thinks that the only way to give birth is while sleep deprived. I’ve woken up every 1-2 hours since going to sleep around 10:30 pm. The last 2 times were with hideous reflux.
However, I’m amusing myself by the fact that I was able to pull on my favorite t-shirt from college, yes college!
We had them made as a fund-raiser to go to the 1989 March on Washington for Women’s Lives. It reads “Not Government Property” on the front, and while visiting Carrie a few months later, I attempted to tie-dye it. My mostly unsuccessful efforts now look like a soft mix of light blue and pink.
OK, going to go visit with my future BFF the couch and see if I can eek out another hour or so of sleep before getting up and heading hospitalwards.

I am proud to tell everyone that Liza delivered Jospehine Rose at about 10:30 this morning. She is 19 1/2″ long and 7lbs 10oz. (so I lost the pool on all counts!)
Liza is on lots of good drugs and is pain free. Jill is exhausted. Noah and Grandma are having a ball reading all of his new books from the book fair and he will meet Josie later today.
Congratulations Liza, Jill & Noah and Welcome Josephine!
XOXO
Aunt Anna, Uncle Jason & Cousin Maxim

Hi Liza and Jill. Many, many congratulations on the birth of your daughter. Yeahhhhh!!!! -Monica and Su and Danny
I was totally at that march! We coulda strode (strud? strided? okay, MARCHED) right past one another, never to know we’d meet again, virtually. Once there was a virtual reality.
I’m leaving this post-birth, so I can refer you to the other comments for the excited congrats.
Still and all, I can’t help it once again: CONGRATULATIONS!
