Queens and Babies
(Click for full size image.) In 2006, Queen Holly attended “It’s a Bad Time of Year for a Party, Party” even though Princess Maura was just weeks away from arrival.

Yates Satterlee Martin was born September 12. Queen Wendy and Consort Capers are doing well, although I have only spoken to them and have no real proof that they are fine other than their voices sound chipper on the phone and they seemed rested enough to carry on a converstion. I was a a mess when my babies were babies. Way back in 2001 and 1997, my own princesses were just weeks old. I was whining about lack of sleep and painful exhaustion and could not put a coherent thought together.
Can you beleive this time last year the MJQs were getting ready for It’s a Bad Time of Year for a Party, Party? Queen Holly was almost ready to have baby Maura, but made the regal effort to attend the soiree looking glorious in a slimming black maternity dress. Well, imagine she was 8+ months and ready to pop. Plus, she could not have cocktails with the rest of us. What a trooper to show up and have Dennis do her hair with proper tiara placement. Last year Queen Wendy was just considering her reproductive options and Yates was merely a thought. Last time I saw Wendy, she still had that exquiste skin, artist style, and runner’s body. With one little exception. A darling little round puff of baby belly. We yucked it up for hours over lunch at The King and I in August. It is hard to beleive that so much can happen in such a short amount of time. Last fall we had talked about babies and the benefits of having more than one prince or princess. A year has passed and low and behold, another Royal is born. Best wishes to Queen Wendy and Consort Capers and Happy Birthday to Queen Holly’s Maura on her upcoming 1st birhtday.
