Nevergirl's

Meet Sage Charlotte Erzulie, born September 26. She drinks two ounces of milk every two hours, makes mewling sounds when annoyed, and hates air-conditioned rooms. She has her dad’s nose and her mom’s intractability. Oh, and she’s charming enough to inspire a surprising, are-you-sure-this-is-you burst of domesticity in a mom who never thought she’d find joy in changing diapers, waking up at the ungodly hour of six just so the little one could get some sunning, and prattling to a little person who never talks back.

Baby and grandma (that's what your daughter should call your mom's sis, isn't it - grandma?)

‘Course, you won’t be seeing any mother and child photos posted any time soon because at 30 pounds over her pre-baby weight, the mom shuns cameras and photo ops with almost religious vehemence.

A big thank you to all those who visited, called, texted, and sent their loves and well-wishes.
