Naomi is Practicing

Naomi has a baby doll she named Toby (called so after the baby in Labyrinth that won't stop crying, who causes Jennifer Connelly to venture into Lolita territory with David Bowie). Toby comes with us everywhere, Toby gets diapered and nursed and put to bed. Toby is shown how to be gentle and taught how to walk. Of course, Toby is also the ugliest, nakedest doll she has, but he's almost exactly newborn sized, which makes up for his punky messed up hair.

I just came from the MW. I know I told everyone I'm not going to do the internals this time, they made me too crazy last time, blah blah blah I'll just listen to my body. Today, while sitting on the toilet (???) I suddenly changed my mind. So what if the numbers are meaningless red herrings. I still want to know.

"Very ripe" She said. "Almost 3 centimeters. Baby's in a great position, all the way down in the pelvis". Which has never happened before. Naomi and E. were both still floating until transition, pretty much.

So, I don't think it will be much longer. But the numbers could be lying.

You remind me of the babe!

(What babe?)

Man, that movie did a lot to inform my budding sexuality.

Um.

So, good luck with the baby having? Yeah.

David Bowie. Yum. I have watched that movie and Absolute Beginners just to ogle (or oogle? oggle...to stare at David Bowie, anyway).

Dear Baby, please come soon, my internet keeps going out so I can't keep checking obsessively.
