Uh, huh

One week old!
10/2/09

(from weekly newsletter on babycenter.com)

What to put on a birth announcement:

• The birth date.
• The baby's weight.
• The baby's "length." (Yes, this is the same as "height." No, we don't know why it's called "length.")
• Chocolaty smudges from the three full-size candy bars you ate while you were sitting on your little doughnut pillow thingy and addressing envelopes.
• Your own weight is not a conventional addition. Nor is the number of nursing pads you've soaked through in one day, the number of meconium poops the baby had, or the measurement of his fossilized belly-button stump.
• "This is our baby. We're so freaking tired." is not an acceptable message. Be sure to include one or all of the following words: "joy," "blessing," and "miracle."

LOL- It's too bad we don't include the extra information, that's what makes it so interesting and original.
