So out of a huge gesture of generosity, I allow him to play video games in the house (while I'm away studying).
Also good news everyone. Blake has a new baby.
Unilaterally.
Thanks to the wonders of technology...
Drum rolls please.
Announcing the arrival of Retina "Mac & Cheese" B. Coughenour !
(weighing 2.02 kg, 1.8 cm x 35.89 cm x 24.71 cm, very healthy apparently according to the nurse.)
Blake's self-proclaimed first major electronic baby in three years!
Welcome to the family Retina ! Hope you can feel much love, attention, and tiger-momish expectations in our household!
(Lately, Blake hasn't showed too much affection to his other children: iphone 4S, a foot heating pad as a random gift for me, and many other numerous trinkets from Newegg and Best Buy that I have lost track of.)
Blake will go on and on about how wonderfully adorable, fabulously sleek, amazingly light, incredibly sharp, powerfully anti-glare, and inappropriately sexy our new baby is.
He will also proudly repeat the story how he snatched one within 15 minutes when it first became available online while everyone else has to wait for 4~6 weeks. So he has been showered in immense jealousy and curiosity since last week (but such spotlight effect will foreseeably dissipate in 4~6 weeks).
Coincidentally, as a tribute to my hometown, the outsourcing powerhouse, it was shipped directly from Shanghai and arrived in Tucson in just one day.
ONE DAY! Good job China (and Foxcom?). The Made-in-China Retina is super special to me for this reason.
I have no major complaints about the new member because as of yet, I have no diaper duties. Also, Retina has surely inherited our ridiculous good looks.
On a side note, the bar prep lecture on family law detailed some typical newlyweds:
"On their wedding night, Wanda emerges from the bathroom in her Victoria's Secret lingerie only to find Harry sitting on the bed wearing a diaper and clutching a bottle of Wesson oil."
Hmmm. Ear muffs, Retina !
