May-be it's May

I have been in the wonderful land of the kiwi's for a little over a week now. (and I just had my first actual kiwi since bein here, it was good.) Everything here is still good. Every once in a while I find myself thinking of home, though. But I figure that is just part of all of this. Moving to a new country is a big adjustment, no matter who you are. The people here couldn't be any friendlier, though, so that's a positive thing.

As it is, the baby was born last Friday. The whole ordeal was quite the interesting experience for me. After 5 hours at the gym (no joke, she's a work-out machine!), she started having pains and so shortly after we were on our way to the hospital. I was there until 3 in the morning, and while every one else stayed, it was decided that I should probably be taken home after getting queasy from the very small amount of blood from the IV. Yes, I just can't do blood. Or any thing of that kind of nature. But sometime after, we got a beautiful baby girl, at a whopping 8 lbs, 7 oz. and a nice full head of hair. Now, being in the picture business and all (before I left) I got to see a lot of new born babies, and they're not attractive creatures. But Ashlee is very cute.

Here, the mom's and babies spend three days in a hospital after the fact. So I had the weekend, essentially to myself. Which I guess is a good thing, since the craziness will begin very shortly. I watched some T.V. and discovered that the shows aren't as behind as people think. Only a couple of months, instead of the years. I watched a Gilmore Girls that was from January. Maybe I will get to see the exciting upcoming episodes, after all. Since, you know, I am here to be watching T.V. - not.

I am enjoying having cats around, though. Although I did forget how much they shed... it would be unfortunate if I were allergic to cats. But lucky me, I'm not.

Any how. I have things to do, and people to see, sort of. So I better get going. Hope everything is well for all of you, my friends and family. Miss you.

p.s. I don't know what the title is about. I never know what to title these things any way. Go ahead, have a laugh. :)
