Just twiddling my thumbs here


To the dear friends who keep calling us to ask if we've had the baby yet ...

Um, no. We'll tell you when that happens. Promise. Cross our hearts. It's just that, what with the waiting and the discomfort and the general sense of "Let's get on with it already," I've had a hard time recently putting together anything interesting or even intelligible.

So, please stop calling. A watched pot never boils. A watched uterus never contracts. Besides, we've got two weeks left yet. A loooong two weeks.

Plus, if the kid is born this week, we sort of have to to name it Schumer, right?

I think you have to name it Rahm.

Jacob is exactly right... Rahm deserves an amazing amount of credit.

When we heard that Rumsfeld resigned, my colleagues and I (who work on military issues, for those who don't know) ran out and bought a bottle of champagne and popped it in the middle of the afternoon.

How about Dean? Or Nancy? :)

And I am absolutely guilty for being a pot-watcher, but I'm just so excited to find out who Beta is!

If it's a girl, how about Maddie (short for "Madame Speaker")?
