Few quick notes before posting again and then cleaning :p but MIL is coming over to make cookies later and then company we haven't really seen since Jan... [we've been to their restaurant and chatted for a few minutes here and there but that's it].
Anyway...
Ann - thanks
. The meds won't hurt him. I've struggled with PPD myself for years [though am doing much better now - that I'm not pregnant or nursing] and Wellbutrin is safe for both pregnant and nursing women. Hehe! Star just *came* to me when I was writing that. I love her too, except that i rarely make it to her part of the series. I tend to get frustrated and not put the next disc in post haircut [of course, I know that's lots more than you've seen
].
Sara - When they first moved in, Sam said part of the nanny's job would be while they're at work/school as well as a couple date nights a month for them and a weekend every few months. This time, they decided to go to a ball game that I'd imagine Sam was planning on watching anyway. I see him/Ollie/boys watching games together and stuff on a semi-regular basis, and this time since L/C will be there, they're making it a point to watch the game together. And you're right about the attachment, it can take time.
Sonia - yeah I tend to be greedy as a reader too
. That was a comment one of my betas mentioned at one point - the email thing I thing. That they'd never seen a first person narrator keep stuff from a reader, but esp since we're rotating first person, we don't see everything anyway - at least that was my thought... As for going straight to the shower, Clark had Christopher all cuddled up with him and greeting Christopher would have meant being close to Clark and she's irritated with him - don't take that the wrong way, but C was asleep [in my mind, I don't know that it's actually specified] and she may not have wanted to disturb him either. I don't think anyone can guess what Jimmy's going to do 'today'
.
Lara - thanks.
Dandello - you've hit the nail on the head with some of that.
JD - no not anywhere near the end and yes there is a sequel. And *sniffle* thanks
. And yes - RAFO.
Lisa - thanks for the drive by! You're right, we've all done stupid and not just at 19.
Patrick - No, I'm not going to go back and change it and there's a reason for that - besides the Navance thing [Daniel suggesting using names from Clark's family]. I know we didn't see the actual decision, just Clark's saying the name at the one point, but maybe that's something I'll add back in and he'll suggest it or something like that.
Iolan - hehe, yes I know. But as I mentioned in my last post in the other thread, yesterday morning was a bit tough anyway and I knew I probably shouldn't post but I didn't want to wait until late last night either knowing I'd be posting early today.
Sheila - I've posted again in the other thread too. Wait? You can't see what's in my head? Really?
. After that came:
Was it because I loved Lana and not Lois? I was willing to be a real father to her child if we ever managed to get back together; why wasn't I doing the same to the child who was legally, even if not biologically, my son? No adoption necessary.
Then
"Hey, little man," I finally said as I watched him.
I see some time in there - maybe I need to show some of the thoughts that go through his head, but I saw it as 'if I'm willing to do that for Lana's kid, why am I not willing to be a dad to the kid that's legally mine?' smacks self upside the head 'maybe I just need to start being willing and I'll start right here right now and talk to him and make sure I don't miss anymore of his life'. That's how I saw that anyway... As for Clark's icy undertones... He just found out Lana's pregnant and Lois is acting that way towards him and he's being that way back.
Elisabeth - I waffled on where Lana was going to go. I ended up going with the sort of middle path - one thought was complete party girl but I didn't want to go that far. And yes, they all need help. I'm so sorry about those first three months. They can be so hard, especially with health problems - you know I can relate to those.
All that said... Look for over the weekend when something extra big happens.
