Life Goes On
The world is falling apart, people everywhere are arguing, fighting and dying - some for good reasons and some for no good reason at all. Occasionally though, we get a chance to welcome new life onto the stage. We might take this time to consider what kind of world we are going to leave behind for them and how we can make it better - or we can continue to fight and hate and leave nothing behind but more of the same.
You’ll have to pardon me but every time I see a new baby I get the same thoughts I described above. I’ve raised two sons of my own and I remember how I felt when they were born. They are grown up and on their own now and someday soon I’ll become a grandfather. That’s scarey.
Anyway, enough about me and my stupid philosophical drivel. The newest addition is the cutest little daughter you’ve ever seen and she belongs to BMEWS member Jaguar and his wife who live “way out yonder” in Washington state. I’ll let the proud poppa tell you about the ordeal (and if you think of it you might slip in a little prayer tonight for this lovely little lady) ....
My youngest daughter was born last night at 7:04 PM after 40 hours of EXHAUSTING labor by my wife. She weighed in at 6 pounds 13 ounces, but was 6 weeks early. Wife was hospitalized last week for gestational diabetes, and pregnancy induced hyper tension. My wife’s blood pressure is now normal and her blood sugar is dropping, they quit giving her insulin,
Because Lauren Victoria was born with a diabetic mom, she is very BIG, and cannot control her blood sugars yet. She in the UW baby ICU center, until she can control her blood sugar by herself. Her pancreas was going nuts, and pumping out insulin and dropping her blood sugars into dangerous levels.
Mom and baby are fine, and my 3 other children, 10 year old daughter Morgan, 5 year old daugher Lindsey, and 3 year old son Aric are doing fine as well. Last night Aric was convinced he had a little brother, it was a boy, and that was that, this morning he says he has a little sister, but it HIS little sister, and Morgan and Lindsey can’t have her as a new sister, it’s his and ONLY his...LOL We are making progress…

If any of you quote me on that, I’ll beat you senseless.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
