a raisin in the shade
i tried to find just the perfect picture of a raisin to illustrate what my just born nephew looks like, but i couldn’t find one, so just know that he looks like a raisin.
and did you know you’re not allowed to put your child out in the sun for like weeks? how ever is he going to grow if he doesn’t get sun light?!
yes, he did arrive a little earlier than planned, and it almost seems just as i put the last period on my previous entry, he was ready to be born…perhaps, to come kick my ass for saying he might have an enormous head, which he doesn’t although he did seem to be lacking in the neck department.
now, here’s the thing about having babies. if i had to have a baby, and i looked like the way my sister looked when i went to visit the day after, i would say NO! to visitors. she had to get a c-section. baby didn’t want to come out the birth canal and i immediately pictures this scene:
yup. not the scene from Alien.
so i guess a c-section and the cutting of the abdominal muscles basically leaves you pretty immobile for a while and seeing my sister there laid up in bed only able to move her head reminded me of those bed ridden obese people on Jerry Springer–NOT THAT MY SISTER IS OBESE. it was just the fact that she was immobile. like an obese person. again, i would never allow visitors if i was in that condition. absolutely not. i would say call me in a week when i can shower, put on some self tanner and apply some pomade in my hair. THEN, by all means, come see the damn baby.
and one last time…

Hilarious! This is why I’m a big advocate of outsourcing child-rearing to a womb in India. I’m a huge fan of hiring a surrogate, or at the very least a makeup artist for a full-on makeover after giving birth. And I can’t believe these poor women let people take pictures of them right after labor.
