This so funny that my last post was about my birth plan... Because that's totally not how it went.
If you understand me correctly, yes I did gave birth to lovely baby girl. Weighting 6.1lbs at 37 weeks in the hospital. Labor lasted 6-7hours she came out in 5 pushes.
We went to the ER due to heavy bleeding on January 31 early in the morning. I got admitted quickly to the maternity ward. The doctor decided that it was safer to deliver the baby. I was induced right away.
She's now here, our little baby Jasmine 🤍 we love you baby girl
«Sócrates dijo: “El mal uso del lenguaje induce el mal en el alma”. No estaba hablando de gramática. Hacer un mal uso del lenguaje es utilizarlo como lo hacen los políticos y los anunciantes, con fines de lucro, sin asumir responsabilidad por el significado de las palabras. El lenguaje utilizado como medio para conseguir poder o ganar dinero sale mal: miente. El lenguaje utilizado como fin en sí mismo, para cantar un poema o contar una historia, va hacia la verdad. Un escritor es una persona a la que le importa el significado de las palabras, lo que dicen y cómo lo dicen. Los escritores saben que las palabras son su camino hacia la verdad y la libertad, y por eso las usan con cuidado, pensamiento, miedo y deleite. Usando bien las palabras fortalecen sus almas. Los narradores y poetas se pasan la vida aprendiendo esa habilidad y el arte de utilizar bien las palabras. Y sus palabras hacen que las almas de sus lectores sean más fuertes, más brillantes y más profundas.»
Ursula K. Le Guin
There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.
I've had a beast of a cold for the last few days, but I wanted to get this out before the new year! while I've sort of made my peace with my first take on Lilia's UM poster, I really wanted to do a version with the new context that chapter 6 gave us. because. c'mon.
(don't worry, Lilia can carry ALL HIS KIDS AT ONCE)
ppl mad at lando for saying he still gets nervous before quali and can't eat all Sunday cause nervy from the pressure, cause this isn't champion mentality cause you won't hear schumacher/hamilton/max saying it, or that he's sympathy baiting in the fastest car... but like. James Hunt would vomit before races. Nico only compulsively ate potatoes on Sunday. it's a nerve wracking sport! why does the champion/winning mentality only have be in 1 form (that is stringently stereotypically masculine)?
