A week ago today, the offspring decided that it was time she made her debut into the world. I could bore you (or disgust you) with tales of the typical biological goings-on, but I doubt you want to know any of that. I barely want to know any of that!
Much to the amusement of my doctor and several nurses, we were able to bring the little one into the world in true nerd style. At one point there were four laptops running in the delivery room! Many a Facebook status update was made during and after labor. Thank goodness I delivered at a hospital that has WiFi access! I was able to get in a few rounds of Mario Kart on the DS even before the epidural kicked in, and one of the offspring's many "aunties" presented us with Baby's First Nerd Toy- a hand crocheted Cthulu. For ease of later baby talk, we've dubbed it Thu. And of course we can't forget D4ddy's newest toy, a pocket sized camcorder that takes video in full 1080p. If we're going to have videos of the offspring's childhood, it has to be in High Def. D4ddy had pictures and video uploaded to the internet before we left the hospital.
Even now the world's newest nerd is immersed in her proud origins, and I am learning how to be a real Nerd Mama. I can surf the web one-handed while nursing, and if I situate myself just right I can even type as she sleeps on my shoulder. Her wide eyes are taking in everything, and I can't wait for the first time they light up at seeing some pretty gadget.
