She is about to give birth at any given moment. I'm pushing for the 23rd because that is the day our grandfather died. I think it would be very special for my new god daughter to be born on this day. As of yesterday she is 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. I hate that I'm not there with her. I held her hand and cut the cord for her last child and I really wanted to be there for this one too. I've photographed the birth of all three of her children (my awesome god children) and I wish I could do it for this one too. As a matter of fact, her water broke IN MY CAR for the last one and my favorite line of any woman in labor EVER came from her: "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck FUCK. (breath) Does my hair look okay?" Oh God, how can I be missing this???
Not that it makes up for it, but I found my newest little god daughter the most amazing going home outfit in all the land. I have never- and I mean never- been so excited to stumble across this piece of baby couture.
Behold the Awesomeness
I am a huge Bob Marley fan. I don't know if the baby is, but if I have anything to do with it she'll be reciting his tunes like nursery rhymes. Tell me this outfit doesn't make you happy? I think I jumped up and down a little when I saw it. Speaking of which, I found it at this great little boutique in Santa Monica near the Farmer's Market. For the life of me, I can't find the card but as soon as I do, I will come back and give you all the details in case you're local or if you want to order it online. What the hell did I do with that card? It's probably with the card for my new hot-as-hell hairdresser that I'm going to blog about soon. Stand by for that one!
So, keep your fingers crossed that my new little bundle of love will make her appearance on the 23rd. I'll post the pictures of her royal cuteness as soon as I get them. I absolutely can't wait!!

Yes, that is the sweetest little jumper ever!
Nick Jr. plays a little video of Bob Marley's "3 Little Birds" and it makes my heart happy every time!
The Bob Marley stuff is awesome! My son's favorite lullaby is 'Redemption Song' -- I sang it to him every night for as long as he would let me. He also liked 'No Woman, No Cry' and what's the title of the one that goes, "RIse up this morning, smiled at the rising son, three little birds, upon my doorstep..."
Those were all standard lullabies. I also sang a lot of Beatles to him too.
So, anyway, what a cool godmom you are -- I would have loved the Marley outfit to come home from the hospital!
@L.A that song is Three Little Birds. I give each of my god children their own song and this is going to be my newest one's song. Maybe if I listen to it non-stop today I will subliminally push my cousin into labor!
@mommaruth....I've seen that Nick Jr. one and I love it. Someone has good taste over there.
Did the little one arrive yet?!
She did! I'll post about her cute little butt later today when I can get a picture NOT from my phone!
i don't really like bob marley (sorry, i know i'm weird) but those things are SO CUTE. i'm imagining in my head that they are very soft.
