You are a secret purple!!!

I am fairly sure that if the involved governments had decided differently about what caste I was supposed to be, they would have told me about it. That does tend to be on the lists of things governments are actually competent at.

How's the whole baby thing going? Bored yet?

Fascinatingly enough, I am not an alien in this respect either! (Though naturally any alien who saw my baby would immediately realize their love for babies, no matter how alien they were. This is simply an obvious fact.)

The baby is lovely, thank you for asking! It’s really amazing to be there for all the milestones. They grow and learn so fast! My girlfriend’s boyfriend continues to be a wonderful coparent, as does my girlfriend!

Congratulations!

Thank you! The mix between ‘it’s real it’s real!’ and ‘oh stars what if something happens now’ and ‘can it really be??’ is - really something.

But if everything goes well, it only gets better from here!

Pregnant pregnant pregnant pregnant!!! (Don't actually know which time did it; we got impatient and just did a few!)

Girlfriend's boyfriend is so adorable with the baby. (In other news apparently *other* languages have more convenient words for 'father of my child' that don't imply that *I'm* in a relationship with him, and I am somewhat annoyed at my own being less convenient.)

Girlfriend’s boyfriend commissioned for girlfriend and me as a present.

(He is such a sweetheart.)

(Girlfriend thinks the shirt is too normalization/defeatist, and needs an extra line after that. But agrees with the sentiment.)

Well, first attempt happened.

It’s - kind of a good thing girlfriend’s boyfriend is the ‘has eyes only for her’ kind or this would have been kind of awkward.

But as it is I think everyone involved had a good time, so to speak.

(And hopefully soon to be getting much better!)

It’s - kind of surreal, almost, entering spring with a credit.
