We Are Family!
A thread for happenings in our families (if there's a similar thread, please merge).
My baby sister (9 years younger than me) just went into labor with her first child! Little Miss Valkyrie should be arriving very soon now. And today is my other niece's birthday (on Dr. Vicklund's side).

Ol' Wifehorn and I will travel up to see my dad later this month.
She was drinking some dreadful vegetable smoothie
concoction that looked like minced caterpillars.

No word yet (expecting that the call will come from Mom). I'm officially on tenterhooks

Re: We Are Family!
Just got update from Mom. They're letting my sister rest and trying again tomorrow. Apparently, Valkyrie is as reluctant to come out as I was (46 hours of labor for me).

Daddy just called me, everyone's doing well. Valkyrie is big enough to go to the regular nursery!

Re: We Are Family!
Valkyrie is a very cool name, and if the girl thinks it's too weird, she can easily go by Val for short.W. Kevin Vicklund wrote: ↑Tue Mar 01, 2022 5:34 pm A thread for happenings in our families (if there's a similar thread, please merge).

She's a beautiful little Valkyrie, too

Re: We Are Family!
Update: the happy family is already home from the hospital! Valkyrie may not have wanted to come into this world quite this early, but she's determined not to let that hold her back. Now the big question: what kind of swordswoman will she be?*
