They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

How fitting that this should be my 1,000th post here!
Just talked to Yoda on the phone: It's a green light for his flight home in a few hours. I'll be leaving to pick him up at the airport around 7 p.m. He'll be tickled to see this thread!
Piddz ... fake IDs? HA, he had a hard enough time getting the REAL one!

Sorry I'm late... ... so, does it feel any different to be legally old enough to do the things you've been doing for years anyway?

Happy Birthday Chris!
I hope you had a great birthday and had fun celebrating.
Question for mom...
Sooo...Linda...how many hours of labor did you go through with Chris?
Was he an easy going baby or did he keep you up at night?

Yoda was a relatively easy baby, once he was born. He was posterior (not breech), so the labor wasn't as much fun as I had hoped. *koff* He was born at 10:50 in the morning on Aug. 13, 1984, after about 24 hours of official labor (during much of which I sat around, ate, and watched TV). I had him at home. He was 9 pounds even, with a nice pointy head due to the long pushing stage of labor.
But, by about four weeks old, he was sleeping about 12 hours a night: from about 1 a.m. to 1 p.m., which was great for me, a night owl. I think he still keeps those hours to this day.
He's always been a nice mix of boyish and yet sensitive, smart and focused and yet chaotic, brilliant but yet a little naive (in a good way). Remind me to tell you guys about how he found out about eating chicken.... That's classic Chris.
(sniffle) My widdle Yoda is all growed up. *koff*

How long did you push?

Aniko, nope, no drugs, dammit. And, stupid me, I didn't learn my lesson because I had the other three at home too -- and they were bigger than Yods!
He was still the toughest birth, though, because of my own ignorance of labor. I stayed in bed too much and should have been up and around more. The other labors were easier. With Yods I pushed for a solid three hours, which is crazy-nuts and painful if you don't even know the baby is posterior. (The doctor knew, but just didn't want to tell me!) Ugh. I ended up with an episiotomy anyway (no drugs for that either, even though she did it too early), and hemorrhaged and fainted after the birth.
I didn't get the color back in my face or the palms of my hands or my feet for over a week. As I said, the other births (once I knew what I was doing) were very nice home births from start to finish. Yod's birth was really great once we got to this point:
