oh do guess

Yeah, Rhea. I see. I'd say you were just a *wee* bit stoked! But it's to be expected, I think. Gosh. Why would you even want one battery pulled so as not to have such a happy excited reaction?

It's amazing, facinating and wonderful. I think your reaction was very normal. Anything less - for me - would border on brain dead.

it's not quite as heady as when I first realized they were coming
but I guess pretty stoked is a characteristic understatement
you should have seen me
I was running around the house hyperventillating and squeaking OMG OMG OMG OMG I have babies OMG I have to call someone OMG BABIES no post no where's my camera OMG babies where's my camera OMG OMG Sammy hold on I'm coming OMG where is my camera - ah camera . . . OMG OMG wow Sammy . . .
you get the idea
notice how I'm using an abundance of capital letters and uncharacteristic exclamations of a nearly religious nature?

Rhea, you just put a huge smile on my face. I can so easily see myself doing the exact same things... right down to the "OMG Sammy hold on I'm coming" Thanks for sharing that little bit about yourself Rhea. I love it... and you!

Yep, that sounds like a great reaction, and very normal for a lot of us!
I missed the actual birth for mine, but I was running around screaming about the babies, and my husband was afraid I'd scoop them all up and run down the street to show the neighbourhood! And that probably wouldn't have gone over well...........
