March 8

Hi little one,
It's been a busy couple of days! Well....maybe busy isn't the right word. I'm still sleeping a lot and not getting much done around the house, but a lot has happened emotionally. Here's the rundown!

Family: Your daddy emailed your aunts and uncles to tell them about you. We got very sweet emails from Uncle Scott and Aunt Sally that they're excited to meet you in October. Have I told you how many people are anticipating your arrival?? You're only the size of a raspberry and you have so many admirers!

House: You'd be very proud of your daddy! He's hard at work painting the doors on the main floor. They're a very nice black color, and they have a great contrast against the white trim and beige walls. I'll post a picture of them tomorrow when he's done. He's also been really patient with me as I do nothing but sleep and eat. This hasn't been easy, but he knows you're worth it. In fact, he even offered to cook dinner once a week! I'm sure I don't need to tell you what a big deal that is! (Not saying the dinners would be any good, but that's something we can work on!)

Food: Speaking of food...I can officially tell you that I have "baby brain." I was making a chocolate cake the other day and added an extra 3/4 cup of water, and an extra cup of oil! It was like my brain just wouldn't understand the directions. But the cake turned out fine, or at least, your daddy says so. :) let's hope stuff like that doesn't start happening at work, or my students might start to wonder what's going on!

Fun: We went to our first happy hour with daddy's CCP co-workers last night, at a place called Flying Saucer Draught Imporium at P&L. Our secret was up the minute they watched me drink water and devour a basket of fries in 2.5 seconds flat! Then we got a bunch of congratulations all night from your daddy's friends! :) They are very intelligent, good people, and I'm glad your daddy works with them. Even though I was dog tired by the time we made it back home, I'm excited to see them at the next HH.

Movies: I cried watching Legally Blonde on tv tonight. Twice! So embarrassing!  Your daddy said he'd never let me live it down. :(  Hopefully I'll be able to look back at it someday and laugh at myself for being so hormonal. Isn't that silly?!!!!

That's all for tonight, little baby. We may go see your Uncle Eli and Aunt Sally and Cousin Griffin tomorrow if we have the chance. They're busy doing stuff for their new beautiful house, but we miss hanging out with them.

I love you!
Mommy
