Yes, I do! I was at a Jimmy Buffett concert with my Parrothead husband and I was reading Balloon Juice from my iPhone to keep from being bored. I seem to recall that Krista even sent an update or two when she was in labor.
Congrats to the RedKitten clan. AlexKitten is totes adorab.
It thought most babies with dark hair actually have quite a lot when they are born, but that’s not always the case. Here in AZ, all of the Hispanic/Mexican babies that I have seen newborn have had hair like that–really hope that I’m not saying anything offensive….. I was born with a lot of white hair. My daughter is 1/4 Cuban and she had a ton of silky black hair when she was born. It all fell out and by six months a lighter brown was growing back in. My son had a little bit and it was blond.
Have you heard of the old myth that if a baby has hair the mother will suffer really bad heartburn? Well it may not have a scientific basis but I had the worst heartburn ever while pregnant with my daughter and I tease her about it to this day.
My social life is pretty limited, but I’d definitely be into doing something here in the city.

@Amir Khalid: Now I have to find out what a buddy from HS ended up naming his kids (if he has any). His last name is Hu and he had a great collection of first names to pair with it. Unfortunately the only one I can remember is Sham. Another kid in my high school had the last name of Wang. His father’s first name was Long. That was extremely amusing at age 14.
We just had Xavi’s 1-year birthday party last Saturday (if you were around here a year ago, Jan 5, you might have seen pics of him just born). Can’t believe a year has gone by already!
I remember it quite well, especially since my niece and nephew were born a few hours later. We had a slightly early birthday party for them last week, going out to lunch at the Top of the Hub restaurant in Boston. Living dangerously: bringing two babies to lunch at a nice restaurant…
(We came at a time when the place was nearly empty, and brought all the necessary infrastructure to keep them happy. Still a bit of a gamble though. Fortunately, all went well)

I told her when she was born that I was sorry about all the inevitable waxing. she had so much hair that they could see it on the ultrasounds.

He has beautiful, thick dark hair. The youngest kept his mostly, but it lightened up to a softer brown. I had terrible heartburn with both pregnancies. Fucking wives’ tales.

Congrats to the Kitten family! He’s a beautiful boy. 30 years ago last week I gave birth to one that big and with a mop of dark hair just like it.
He’s 6’5″ and blond now. Enjoy the ride Redkitten, it’s the best thing I ever did!

Wonderful little guy.
The world and we at BJ needed another ‘Kitten in the world.
Congratulations.

Looks like the Incredible Hulk, only pink. And little.
