So, uh... I have been informed that I guess we're doing a baby-girl shower for Lilith's and my soon-to-be-arriving daughter...

Anyone who'd want to come would be welcome to do so. Esther's got all the details.

Thank you. Here's hoping she's as pretty as you are.

How sweet are you? It's crazy. I'm sure she's going to be perfectly adorable. Maybe I'll come to the christening and grant a boon. ;)

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Well, christening is an interesting thing in our household. It feels a little strange going to church, all things considered. Maybe we can get Quetzalcoatl to do it for us, if we decide to go that route with the kids.

Oh, I use the term christening in the loosest sense. I really just mean "party to celebrate baby." I'm not much of a church-goer myself and who knows if I could even go if I wanted. Church bells are allegedly not nice to my kind.

So goes the legend, anyway. Eireann's due next month I'm sure there will be plenty of time to celebrate her arrival. Though, we're expecting only a few days of babyhood for her.

Oh, that's right. I did hear that babies born from two gods had one heck of a growth spurt. I'm sure you'll still enjoy every moment, though. That's a lovely name.

Yeah, they grow like weeds. Extremely cute weeds.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

That's the best kind of weeds. I look forward to meeting them all some day. Kids are so much fun.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Didn't you get to meet them all back in June?

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

Yes and no. It was a little hectic, remember? The kids were pretty much swept up by you parents and totally 100% rightly so. :)

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll get a chance again soon.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

I can't wait. Kids are fun!

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Planning any of your own?

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

Not any time soon, nope. I have a lot of things to do before I could even start thinking about being a mom. That and some people have a natural talent for it and others have to work at it.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

You don't think you have the talent?

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

I have plenty of talent but I don't think much of it lies in being a mother. I had very, very, very little experience at it previously, you know.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

All new parents feel the same way. It only gets slightly easier with each additional child.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

I'll have to take your word for it. I've never had any of my own. I've only, so to speak, borrowed. :)
