Big News! Baby Strongheart is on the Way!
12 11 2009Great news! Ann Strongheart, whom many of you know as a strong advocate of Alaska Native issues and the co-founder of the blog Anonymous Bloggers is about to have her baby! Seems that the little one waited for Barack Obama to visit the state before beginning his entrance into the world! I’m in the hangar at Elmendorf AFB waiting for the President to speak, but I will keep you updated!
Just broke the news to Senator Begich who send his best wishes to Ann! He sai that when his wife had Jacob, she didn’t know whether he was a boy or a girl, but he did know! He kept the secret and said to tell Ann that whether it’s a boy or a girl it will be “fantastic!”.
Ethan Berkowiz is here too and he says to say congratulations!
Linda Kellen Biegel is here and said something approximating “woooooooooooooooo!” And don’t forget to breathe!
Shannyn Moore says, “Wonderful! Welcome to the world!”
*********************************
I’m back from the Obama event now, and according to my email, it sounds like Ann is doing just fine. If she can’t feel all the warm wishes flying across the world to her little spot in Western Alaska, I’d be very surprised. Things are taking a little while, as things like this often do, but all is well. I’m back at Mudflats Central, so I’ll be able to update you with the latest news when I get it!
7:17 – All is well. Things moving along!

It’s almost 10:30pm Alaska time. Where is that little Strongheart? Fingers drumming on computer table. Celtic Diva just sent on some fun info about the mysterious significance and beliefs surrounding the number 13. Fingers drumming on table.

MUYS–it’s pearl’s B-day on the 13th, so she’d prefer a birth shortly after midnight!
Hey, Seagull–do I owe you an e-mail?
November 12th, 2009 at 11:02 PM
Hey InJ!! Hope all’s well! I was just checking to see if I can post photos with our screen names. But it will take me FOREVER to figure out posting on the forum, so no rush!!
November 12th, 2009 at 11:06 PM
Yeah, I think it’s okay at this point…

Ann:
My thoughts and prayers are with you, CC, the baby, and Segundo tonight.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Here is a post right after the NY23 election where someone showed the “Stages of Grief, Palin Fan Style”

Great job, Ann. Now kiss your lovely new daughter for us and get some sleep. You worked like a trooper tonight. Sweet dreams, Ann.
P.S. I’m guessing that Segundo is one worn out Papa with all those contractions too.

EyeOnYou has posted a wonderful benediction on Anonymous Bloggers.
Let’s all meet over there, hold virtual hands, read the words and feel within our hearts and minds the wishes they convey.
Mother and daughter, the storm has passed, the tide is out, may sleep be yours.
Congratulations!
