Yes, there’s more “Don’t Look Back,” two pages in fact, one being last week’s page that I neglected to mention here. (permalink)
Still learning the ropes of motherhood, which will cause some stumbles yet on my part–like not realizing what day of the week it is. But I figure I’ll get the hang of it in, oh, 16 years, tops.
Specifically I gave birth to a 10 pound, 5 ounce baby girl named Taran Jack Manley, 22 and a half inches long with a full head of hair and eyebrows (the delivery team seemed the most impressed with the eyebrows.)
I’ve already posted the log of Twitter posts that Kip, Dylan and I made during the process. This here is more about the whys-and-where-ores and my feelings about the whole thing.
What follows is a log of the process leading up to Taran’s birth as recorded by Kip, Dylan and I, with the inclusion of the tweets of friends, excluding the private messages. (I might have missed a few which I will add as I find them)
This turned out to be surprisingly useful thing for us to have done, not only to let family and friends how it was going as it was going, but when some medical person needed to know when, say, my waters were ruptured or when I stopped having solid food, it was right there, time stamped in our twitter logs.
I had a few folks expressed surprise we were doing this, using twitter to live blog the birth of Kip’s and mine daughter, but a large reason of why I joined Twitter was in anticipation of doing just this.
