Here At Last!

Yesterday, Bunny's spirits were high with anticipation of meeting Buddy soon.  We had a second round of inducing accupuncture in the morning followed by a bagel craving on Hawthorne.  Afterwards, we ran into our friend Tali, an Aquarius, who was ecstatic to share the BIG news, "It's all over the internet:  tomorrow will be the most incredible day of the year!"  

Upon returning home, our googlin' found that February 17th is not only Random Acts of Kindness Day, but also the harmonic convergence of Jupiter, Mars, and Venus.  Apparently this 12-year planetary alignment bodes well for all things Aquarian, "If ever there were a moment to greet the world with both arms extended, assertively, it's now."

Sure enough, Buddy is here at last!  Bunny was a superstar, water-birthing him into the world on February 17, 2009 at 5:02 pm.  A 10-pound floating baby boy!  He shares an Aquarian birthday with Marilyn Milestone, one of our stellar midwives who also delivered Lilly.  As the sun set on this miraculous day, we sang a round of Happy Birthday together with our wonderful delivery crew.  


So far, he's Mr. Mellow and winks at each of our voices.  But, his cry is somewhere between a cat fight and a caged monkey.  Fortunately, these wails are few and far between with a little bit of comfort and tenderness from Mom, Pop & Sis.  

Welcome to the world River Van Mason!  Little Rio!
