Oh yeah, I'm really jazzed up for the James Webb Space Telescope launch tomorrow (Dec. 24/Xmas Eve). But man I'm also worried something will go wrong because there are a lot of steps and moving parts that have to be executed to get it functioning.

[EDIT] huh, launch got moved to Christmas day.

Well, at 33 weeks 5 days our twin girls have arrived! They have to stay in NICU due to their prematurity so right now we're just at hospital waiting for all the bits to be sorted but my wife has been amazing and delivered naturally which we weren't sure would happen with twins.

Very excited, even though we won't be taking them home for a while...

Mother doing well, we've not actually seen the babies much since the theatre as they were whisked away. Don't think there's anything wrong with them per se, they're just so little.

Woop woop! Fantastic news and what you're experiencing with the NICU is normal given the circumstances. Lots of cuddles to come though!

Jolly good. Regards to Lady Tiste and the Tistelings.

When will you be doing the obligatory "showing the babies to the island"?

I'm brimming with joy for you all. I'm glad you're in a situation where the little ones can get the care they need.

Congratulations! Now comes the decision every parent of twins must face: whether to raise them spooky or sweet.

I mean, one of each surely?

Thank you all. It's been a bizarre day. They're both doing well and so is my wife but it's weird that we were in hospital having just gone through all that and yet not able to hold them or anything. I know it's for the best and will be very worth it but it's emotionally draining! Still, very happy!

I finally pulled the trigger to do something nice for ME in a long time, and booked a weekend to Seattle! I will definitely want recommendations as I’ve never been!

I hear they have this little coffee place called Starbucks there, might be worth checking out?

One week into having twins and they're both doing really well! Both still at hospital but we're visiting every day, we get to hold them for looking periods of time and they're both beginning to latch and feed. They're only in for growing/learning to feed - no medical concerns at all.

Treated myself to a new keyboard over the holidays, so today once I'm done the pre-xmass cleanup I'll get to finally tinker around with that.

More broadly, having another 5 days off before I need to go back to work makes me happy.

We're taking the kid to a monster truck show tomorrow. I can't wait! I'm so relieved I have a child who wants to do traditional boy things. There was a video from school before Christmas of the kids making masks. The girls had all made their masks look like cats and they were doing this thing where they pretended to lick their paws. It was so creepy, they're only 5. The boys masks were a load of shit but they were all jumping around happy as larry. I would totally rather be a boy so I'm living my boy life and going to a Hot Wheels Monster Truck show tomorrow.
