Mature! Unequivocally, finally, robustly mature.
It was not even close—Twyla’s lungs are basically sipping port and perusing a leatherbound copy of The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Barring 11th hour catastrophe, the next thing I post will be a birth announcement…

HUZZAH! So glad to hear it! Can’t wait to see that squishy baby face in the little pink and blue hat (don’t all hospitals have the same pink and blue hat?)
So so so very happy for you!
Woohoo! Go Twyla!
So excited for you! Can’t wait to hear how everything goes and see Twyla!
I have been checking in an embarassing amount of times for THIS good news! Way to go, Twyla! Way to go to you too, for you know, aiding Twyla in those ridiculously mature lungs of hers! Sending nothing but good thoughts for you guys tomorrow!
Hurrah! This is the good news we’ve been waiting for! Hurrah!
Hooray!!!
Ohh fantastic! Best wishes, bonne chance, break a leg!
You mean her lungs skipped the eye-rolling teenage stage? Wow. She sounds like a keeper.
So exciting! Can’t wait!
Hooray! Best wishes tomorrow!
Phenomenal news!!!!
This is wonderful! All the best tomorrow; will have you in my thoughts.
WoooooooHoooooooooo!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHH YAY!! Crossing fingers!
I am doing one hand out to the side and saying “Woo” and then doing the other hand out to the other side and saying “hoo.” With a little Z-formation head shake, for extra celebration.
now I am too. it’s a woo-hoo (head shake) party for Twyla!
Oh heck yeah, I’ll join that party!
Love this… Me too!!
Hooray! That is the best news!

Yay yay yay! I’m ridiculously excited for you and just a wee bit proud of Twyla for being such an overachiever.
Great news! Best wishes for tomorrow to you and your family!
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers to you all!
So exciting!! Glad to hear it! And now–cannot wait to meet her!
Yippee! I’m on pins and needles already!
All RIGHT. Happy birthday, Twyla!
Hip, hip hooray! So relieved for you both. Lots of good thoughts for a textbook arrival so your whole family can bond together.
HOORAY! Best tomorrow.
WOOHOO!!!! An overachiever already! Good luck tomorrow!!!
Mazel tov! Huzzah! Fabulous! Good luck! I look so forward to that announcement tomorrow!
Hurray! I hope everything goes very smoothly and by this time tomorrow, you are merely contemplating a couple years worth of interrupted sleep.
I am beyond happy for you, especially after all of the legal nonsense that got us all worked up and huffy. (OK, fine. I’m still a little worked up and huffy, but being of the future doctor breed, I’ll try to use my anger productively. Promise.) I can’t wait to see Miss Twyla!
So excited for you and Twyla too!
Phhheeewwww!!! (She put that capri sun and Teen People down for the test, I’m sure of it. Good girl!)
Woot! Anxiously tapping fingers on refresh from now on . . .
Hurrah! Happy birth day!
YAY!
Happy delivery!
I am so happy for you, God bless you new and larger family!
I cannot wait to meet this baby. WHOO!
Yay!! I’m so excited for all of you! Can’t wait to meet you, little Twyla! By the way, is that pronounced Twyla with a “will” or Twyla like “twilight?” I’d hate to be thinking it incorrectly in my head…
Arghhhhhhhhhhh! (Happy arggggghhhhing, not aggravated arggggghhhing. Or, you know, pirate argggggghhhhing.) (I find it important to clarify.)
GOOD LUCK, GOOD LUCK! Cannot wait to finally meet Twyla.
Awesome!!!!! That’s fabulous!
Congratulations!
Yay! Excellent news. I love the idea of her lungs, in a smoking jacket, sitting in a wing chair in a library…
Hooray! Thanks for checking in and letting us know. I’m one of those quiet lurker types, but I’ve been keeping everything crossed for you that this would happen. Cannot wait to see baby pics. Good luck!
Yay!
HOORAY!!!! So happy for you all!!!
Well, Alexa, I’m the praying grandma who encouraged you to throw down with a hissy if need be. I’ll be sharing my 60th birthday with Baby Twyla. I decree myself as her Fairy Godmother of the Internet. May all her (and your) wishes come true.
Relief! Excitement! Wishing you the best tomorrow!
Yay! Good girl, Twlya!
So, Twyla’s lungs are Richard Gilmore. ;)
I’ve been picturing Alastair Cooke. (Of whom I was very fond.. Laura Linney does not have the same.. effect.)
Alistair, I mean.
