November 20 Notes

I managed to catch the end of Riding in Cars with Boys today on HBO (free preview week) and I cried like a baby. It's, in my opinion, a cry worthy movie. Then, later in the day I watched Invictus, a much less cry worthy movie, and yet there I sat, in tears; a sign that I did indeed have a small bout of the baby blues. Crying only continued when I looked at my sweet baby and saw she was bigger than before.



The mood improved though when the Rynders stopped by the house (with food)! Thanks for stopping by guys, it was good to see you, good to have company, and good to eat warm food.

Yesterday, Sharline stopped by the house for a bit after having some blood work done at the hospital. I hope you feel better, hang in there. I'm glad you got to stop by and see the wee tiny one!

After that, we ventured out for our first excursion. We took dad to get a haircut (barber's name = Danielle Marie), we went and picked up the CD of hospital images, and ran to Target (dad and Dani sat outside). Mom stopped by later in the evening with Arbogast Cheese Dip (a.k.a. heaven). We took that opportunity to get things done around the house. Mom bought Dani her first baby doll. I cried. I then cried when my mom had to leave.

It's amazing how a person can feel so much pride and sadness at the same time. I hear this should end sooner than later, so I hope.

I want to give a quick thanks to Her and @That1EBD for the sheep! It means a lot.

Much love to friends and family...Happy Birthday Uncle Drew

post script: Dani's umbilical cord fell off today. I cried because that means she's getting older. I need to go hold her while she still wants to be held!
