h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

As I'm pretty sure all the Team members know by now, PaperKid will soon be joined by Notepad. I did a write-up (which was rerun a while ago) on PaperBaby's arrival (she pointed out after her last birthday that she wasn't a baby anymore, thus the name change). Would something about Notepad's Grand Arrival be welcome? Assuming I get around to it (I've already sworn that I'm not going to leave everyone on tenterhooks like last time--I said nothing online until the previous article was finished, which took over a week)

Please do!

We have all been following your OB thread

We look forward to the safe arrival of Notepad, and hope you have a gentle confinement

In the meantime, you spoil yourself!

Yeah!! Please do - the last one was great

OK, so if anyone complains, I'll point at you

I'd almost be delighted to take the blame, though you should probably hold Mr Pawloski responsible for the situation...

Seriously, the last one was brilliant. We'd love to be able to run a 'follow-up'

Good point. Also my evident fertility--both times, as soon as we stopped preventing (as opposed to actively trying)...

But I meant the writing part

Whew. I was worried that the power of the Internet might be a bit too far-ranging then

Feel free to blame us for any delay on the writing side, though if you have a long labour I don't see how we can be much help unless we turn up with the gloves...

*points to journal*

I've got until March 1st, right? Well, make that 4pm February 28th.

I've just found that, and am just logging in to the Post Team account as another browser opens up...

Take a look at for an update folks.

There will be pics, of course (once I find my camera cable) but do you think there will be a problem with having a pic in the article, since it would be of a child (even though both parents would be giving permission)? Because, if it would be a problem, I could take a picture of just Grace's wrist and ID (haven't gotten around to cutting the bracelet off yet) or even just her and my matching IDs (since there's no info that I haven't already supplied on them, except the midwife's last name, and she thought my last childbirth article was a great idea).

Nothing like posting a question to be passed on to the Italics right before the weekend starts (well into the weekend there, methinks)

Sorry, I'm not online much at the moment - this is the first time I've been on since the last posting.

There will be a problem with having a picture of the Grace's face, regardless of parental permission. But the bracelet(s) - that's actually a better idea, if anything

Not that I've had a chance to write anything yet

Not going to make this next issue--we're moving into our bigger place this weekend When's the next deadline?

The next deadline will be Sunday 15th March. Take your time, there's no rush

Telling me to take my time can be dangerous

I'm chugging along, now, though, and it *will* be ready for this deadline. Not only do I think it's to get in the 10th anniversary issue, but I think it's appropriate to have a birth story alongside the sad news about pheloxi (would be much better if he could've read it, though)

I'm recycling an ancient A page, to make sure I get the GuideML correct, so should I email the link, or just put it here when I'm finished?

Emailing would be better, if you can get it to go through
