So, it so happens I went and got myself a Twitter. I can't imagine I'll update it much (or ever) given that I also can't imagine myself in a terrible many situations where I just need to say something on the empty exhibitionist circuit of the internet and only have the time or capacity for...what is, it a hundred and forty characters? I don't even text that much; I find it hard to constrain myself to few or small words. So much for learning brevity in college!

Anyway, mostly I got it to stay in touch with people, lest Livejournal slowly fall off the map as it seems to have been doing. My twitter is here, so if anyone has one that I can follow, pls to link me here so I can add you to my feed. Thanks. ♥

Psst, flusterbunny. I know this will look like it is coming ENTIRELY OUT OF THE BLUENESS, but I would like to talk at you, at your leisure, sir.

This is a really dangerous thing to ask me while I am already sleepy! But here you go. This song has always, always made me feel very calm and sleepy, easy-going and at peace. It's such a pretty thing, and of course it's Led Zeppelin so it's made of awesome.

Today is my Joey's first birthday! It has been a long strange trip already but here we are! I will try to remember to put pictures up here from the upcoming party!

The one thing that sucks about updating icons and icon keywords is all the broken-ass icons on your journal that happens.

On the other hand, there are a few icons now that are not Incubus-related! I KNOW, it's a damn miracle.

What is up with all these earthquakes lately? There's been like three big enough for me to feel in the last three days.

Not surprisingly, having a baby does, really change everything.

( Strangely, it didn't really change things in the ways I thought it would. )

I know you all need more pictures of the baby so here you are: Joeybear.

Literally.

So, as has probably been made evident by not only my Suspicious Absence but also by the ecstatic crowing of my husband on Facebook, I had a baby!

( Baby TMI here! ) At 5:01 pm PST on February 27th, Joseph Russell Kragenbrink was officially born!

Joey passed all of his tests over the rest of Friday and Saturday and this morning with flying colors. He was born seven pounds six ounces, and nineteen and one quarter inches long. Right now the internet is being a turd so I'll have to link photos for those of you who haven't seen on Kev's Facebook later. I am sore and tired, but Kev's Mom is here right now, and then my parents arrive later this week and his father the week after to help us settle in with the kidlet and figure out how to best take care of him. So far we're doing pretty well; we seem to have figured out the whole breastfeeding thing. I'm obviously probably not going to be around much for a bit while we work into a schedule and I recover--I'm on a 6 week 'pelvic recovery' plan where I am to take things easy and not lift anything heavy. Lucky for me the baby is not so heavy. :)

Anyway...I'm a mom! It's still surreal.

Edit: Here are PICTURES!
