Yea Calliope!!!!!!!! OMG, I was off by 4 days! I can’t wait to hear all the news and take a look at the pictures!!
I think it is absolutely fitting and wonderful that Grover was born on April 1. A good day! Enjoy the first moments with him!!!
Tina
Hahahaha!!!! I’m the biggest goof ever!!!
bWAHAHA.
big young’un, Calli.
You had me for a minute!
Congrats! He’s adorable.
You had me going up until the 13 lbs 13 oz thing.
I would be soooo mad at you right now if you weren’t about to go into labor…… NOW.
I kinda knew when I saw 13lbs. Then I REALLY knew when it said ALL NATURAL!
You stink!
Watch your water will break in 2 hours and you’ll have him before midnight. Karma coming to kick your bootay!
:-p neener!
you are such a dork.
(but i love you anyway)
lolz. Watch out – you could have a real live non-furry April Fool on your hands if you’re not careful.
ROFL!!! You had me up until I saw 13lb. You….scamp, you!
Grover Tartan…clever. Nice swaddle, btw. Does lotsa (blue) hair run in your family? Almost had me!
He’s adorable!
Good one!
You are AWFUL!!!! You so had me going!!!!
I can’t believe how long it took me to figure it out! LOL
Oh you got me!!
I did wonder on it being a April Fool’s baby….but i clicked for name and photo…hmmm I did wonder a little about the name, but hey, each to their own, and it was starting to grow on me….then I carefully reread and noticed the time of birth…and the clincher, the weight!
Oh you so had me for a long time!! hahaha
Yes, now you will be going into labor for real shortly and baby is going to be huge!
Thanks for the laughter.
You are a peehead.
I was so so very excited… and then… blue.
….oh but the photo….soooooo cute!
i think he has a bit of blue jaundice?!
oh – your plaid blankets/burp cloths are in the mail tomorrow. they’re cute!
Hahahaha. You’re ridiculous, but adorable. Give the “wee one” a hug.
LOL, you had me until the 13lb13oz! LOL.
Ha. I saw 13 pounds and hoped you were joking, because if that happens, well the joke’s on YOU
xx
J
Awwww!
How… blue?
You should keep the name Tartan in mind for the next arrival, I think.
HAHAHAHAHA!
He’s so adorable!
dork!!
Ahahahaha…April Fools! Too cute!
that was all too neat and tidy to be believable. however, I believed it for about 100th of a second!! LOL!
hahahaha! Oh you got me. That was great April Fools joke!!!!
Totally had me until I clicked the link. I read that 13 pounds part and was sitting her thinking holy shit, natural, she’s crazy. Great April fools joke.
Seriously……I had to check in right after I put my mascara on to get ready to go work, right? So, I start bawling right away, right? Then, I get to the 13lbs thing and I realize…this is CALI!! It’s April 1st…..
Too funny, girl!!!! Off to fix my freakin’ makeup……
lol. The dead giveaway was the 12:01am delivery time AND your posting at 12:02am. Dang, that would have been good though!
This was too funny. I almost fell for it!
you totally sucked me in.. fyi.. I think Grover is a fabo name… and you should most defintily use it!
I totally fell for it. Had to read the comments to get it! Just thought the name and photo was to protect Snorks identity! The 13 lbs just had me wincing for you……….I should have known! X
i fell for it… COMPLETELY.
bad calli.
Ok – now I’m rooting for 11:59 …come on univerise – show that girl your REAL sense of humor!
Punk. You actually had me for a minute. I should never look at blogs before coffee and a shower.
man i’m a sucker
Funny!
Too funny! Glad you’re getting some swaddling practice!
hahaha..that was just mean.
Hehehe. Just look at all that adorable…blue…hair! But I still picked today for the ACTUAL delivery. You know, just because I think the real universe does have a sense of humor. It could still happen, you know.
LOL – Baby Grover is too cute! Would be funny if Snork decides to make an appearance today as well.
The universe is going to get you for that. You just watch.
*dies*
I totally fell for it, even the weight, I mean I looked twice at the number but thought “well, he DOES have big feet…”
You HAG! I’m with whoever said “karma will pop him out today and we will laugh!”
Seriously awesome. May he be *slightly* smaller when he really emerges…
Also for the record? When I had my oldest there was a FOURTEEN-POUND newborn in the nursery with him who was NOT a c-section baby…*twilight theme music*
So cute and furry! Good one.
Good thing I check the links before spewing baby-induced celebratory vomit
THAT was just EVIL. EVIL!!!!!!!!
He has your eyes. I’m a little concerned about his coloring. Is he what the old folks used to call a blue baby?
You butthead! I totally bought that hook, line, and sinker.
I’m so ashamed.
That is so not funny! OK, maybe a little funny.
Hehe! I would like to place a vote for the actual use of the name Grover Tartan. I like it.
Haha, you go Cali – I *nearly* fell for it – but then I was like nah, how could it???
GREAT JOKE!!!
xxxx
Bwahahahaha! I have a feeling Snork is going to have the eye roll down early. “Mom! That’s not funny!”
Completely fell for it. Just went and told my boss about it before I saw the picture!
Waiting to hear the splash that will herald Snork making his debut today. KARMA!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was totally suckered – and I even was grooving on the name!
Heeheee.
Grover Tartan. *wink*
Congrats!!!
Dammit, why don’t I click over BEFORE commenting! I thought… uh, strange name, but sure.. You beotch;-)
Totally got me. Hook line sinker.
Well, I didn’t last night
Very cute–you got me.
Okay. I kinda actually liked Grover… although certainly the child would NOT. That said, I feel for it!
I know, I was totally thinking, “Grover is a GREAT name. But DAMN that’s a big baby.”
I love him in his little blankie.
You had me for a sec. I second the vote for the name….
Bwahahaha…Love, love, love your sense of humor!
Queen of nativities here!
[heck, even my name means - naive]
I am the one who not only thought what a lovely date to be born on [for my defense I will add that I don't know pounds & ounzes] and who smiled at the Grover pic [o.k, so the next link will be
for real, new baby's pics], but I s-t-i-l-l didn’t get I was being fooled even after opening baby’s pic!
Good one!
LOVE the name. Congrats!
AH, good one! I still do like the name.
LOL…love it. I was thinkin’ “DAMN that had to hurt”!!
Or, how about “Tartan Grover”
THAT sounds nice…
after that joke…. something better start happening… I guessed tomorrow!!!! so hurry up Snork and make a grand entrance!!!
Okay – I knew something was fishy when I got to the 13lb 13 oz natural delivery. I mean, we all know Calliope is a goddess, but come on!! There’s nothing natural about that!
please name him Grover Tartan. for realz.
LOVED THIS!!!
Ha Ha Ha. Loved that!
i am still giggling. and the photo of Baby Grover all bundled? so so cute. you are crazy ~ i can imagine you laughing to yourself while contemplating this post… cant wait til you are making the OW OW OW post
love you!
