It started fairly roughly. It was Countdown to Infant Crisis. There where tests, procedures, lots of questions, plenty of bills, and, yeah, a funeral. Wasn't easy, but the big stuff usually isn't.
This was of course followed by the many tie-ins:
Video of Vengance which treated me to the view of the miracle of childbirth. Had to be the most horrendous thing I've ever witnessed. No wants to see this. Then there was
The Crib Project, which featured my struggle to construct somewhere to house the impending. Took away, but the undersea mural was painted and the cage to hold them was built. That last part isn't a joke, and I'm really going to have to scan in a pic of the thing one day. On came
Fathers United which followed three father's to be navigating the unknown territory of Babies-r-Us and birthing classes taight by hippies who don't seem to understand the importance of pain killers in the beautiful process. And finally we had
The Marty/Meagan War telling the tale in the battle for sanity with horemones gone wild. And before I get scoffed upon as a pig for the last remark, shut it, she was out of her mind and made my life a veritable hell.
But these things passed and
Infant Crisis was upon us! Two months early and right in the middle of last year's mystery which I was a part of! No one died, but honestly, it did get closer to that than anyone wanted. This series lasted a month. The multiverse may very well have been created during this, but I wouldn't know because I was at the hospital every day watching two skinny little girls in incubators and trying to keep my strength up. This would have been impossible if not for Linda and Brooke.
In the aftermath of
Infant Crisis came
52 which did not have mad scientists, but did have many doctors, some of which may have been mad. There was investigations, not for lost loved ones, but for chages ouf outfits as we discovered not only that kids puke often but of the utter terror that is the "up-the-backer". The critics have praised this series, usually in Wal-Mart when we are trying to shop. The critics all seem to be old people with the power to speak in nauseating cutesy voices. There was no giant time and space eating worm, however we did have one terrified cat.
Which brings us to the here and now, and that can mean only one thing:
