Having benefited from hours of delight at his dead-of-night musings, I thought it only fair to share them with the world.Karen Slavick-Lennardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01369065785609752479noreply@blogger.comBlogger932125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117168333067506122.post-24188419230959364812014-04-08T15:24:00.003+01:002014-04-08T15:36:14.738+01:00UPDATEIf you are new to Sleep Talkin' Man (the blog, that is), then I recommend that you dive into the archives! You can pick a month/year of your choosing from the top of the right-hand column. Personally, I think that 2010 & 2011 were particularly good years.<br />
<br />
If you are a loyal reader who checks back now and then to see if there has been any movement, here is where we are:<br />
<br />
Sleep Talkin' Man has gone VERY quiet since our baby Hannah was born just over a year ago. It's almost as if he served his purpose for Adam, whatever that was, and went back from whence he came. I do miss STM terribly. On the other hand, I'm a bit relieved. I worried about how I was going to keep up the recording and editing and blogging with a baby, and STM made that concern moot.<br />
<br />
If you are seriously hankering for fresh STM zaniness, the only suggestion I can make is to pick up the book, which has plenty of quotes in it that never made it onto the blog. It also has other great stuff like illustrations, and a lot of blah blah blahing on my part about all sorts of things STMish.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, please do check back every now and then, just in case STM decides to make a comeback with more late night hilarity.Karen Slavick-Lennardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01369065785609752479noreply@blogger.com805tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117168333067506122.post-90331768106316117202013-03-04T13:59:00.000+00:002013-03-04T14:07:05.235+00:00WELCOME HANNAH RUTH!!Yes, I know, I dropped off the edge of the earth these past couple of weeks. I've been a very inconsiderate and disloyal blogger, and I wholeheartedly apologize. But, I think I have a pretty decent excuse:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Please join me in welcoming to the waking world</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Hannah Ruth Lennard</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
About a week and a half ago, Hannah decided that 37.5 weeks was just about enough time to spend in the oven. On February 21st, after 45 hours of "early" labor and then 30 hours of actual labor, she finally made her way out into the world. She was born at a tiny 5 lbs 6 oz, with a VERY full head of hair, some scrawny little chicken legs, and frighteningly long toes.<br />
<br />
Because she was so small, we were kept in the hospital for a few extra days. Except for the fact that there was NO WIFI (gasp!), that was a wonderful experience. I had round the clock care from a team of midwives, and a staff of lactation consultants coming in every three hours to work with me on breast feeding. I can't say enough about how great the UK National Health Service is. And midwives rock.<br />
<br />
We've been home now for a week, and things are going pretty well. I'm amazed to learn that caring for a newborn truly is a full-time job. I'm slowly starting to get the hang of how to get anything not Hannah-related accomplished (hence finally managing this blog post).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Adam and I are both utterly besotted by Hannah, who is (objectively speaking) the most astoundingly gorgeous thing ever to have graced the earth. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I can't speak for what Sleep Talkin' Man thinks about her just yet, as he hasn't made a peep since she came along. I think we can attribute this to basic lack of proper sleep. Once we get on track, I hope to hear his opinion on our new addition.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I can share with you the story of STM's most recent appearance:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was finally admitted into the hospital late Wednesday night, after more than two full days of contractions. By that time, I was in such unimaginable, mind-bending pain that they pumped me full of Pethidine (known in the States as Demerol). I drifted into a pain-free stupor, and Adam got in the bed with me to nap.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As I stirred awake two hours later , I heard him begin to mumble next to me. I sat up to clear my head, at which point he growled, "Seventeen shaved monkeys!" shortly followed by a top-of-his-lungs shout of "COCK FUCK!!"<br />
<br />
Until STM decides to rejoin us, I promise to try and get back in the habit of posting things I've still got saved from the nest-egg. In the meanwhile, here are pictures of the utterly adorable Hannah:</div>

<li>Hilarious illustrations of some of the classic STM quotes. I mean, seriously, how can you go through life without ever seeing a CHICKEN IN A FETISH COSTUME?</li>
<li>A bunch of WORDS, written by me, all about the life and times of Adam and Sleep Talkin' Man. Aren't you just dying to know who STM is, where he comes from, and what it's like for me to live with these two opposing personalities?</li>
