Waiting for a baby

Surely this baby will be born soon, they've been working at it for quite a while now. I'm glad I'm done having my babies!! Summer's been working hard for quite some time now, and the rest of us are all eagerly waiting. Wonder what the baby will be like.

I can't remember how many labor credits I earned today... um, quick guess says... four and a half or five, so far. It's late afternoon, and the sun's making my favorite kind of light, reddish and orangish. I'm happy with our atmosphere, although I understand it used to be different, and maybe back in the day, the light would be bluer? Don't know.

Summer's baby will be the... hmmm... fifth baby born in this building since it was built. Five, and the building's about as old as Rowan, who's 12. Every now and then someone comes down and tells us what the latest news is, and it's hard to sit at the computer. I want to go and do something useful. When Adrian was being born, Simone and I were listening downstairs and twiddling our thumbs, and we finally decided to go pick flowers. We came back with a lovely bunch and gave them to the baby, who'd been born while we were gone. It doesn't take long to pick flowers when you have two people -- that was a very fast and efficient birth!
Okey dokey artichokey, much love,
Kelpie
