With Apologies To Joe Cocker

February27

My baby, she wrote me a letter. Or a blog post. Or she would if she could. She still needs to master that whole “speaking thing.” Whatever.

But even without mastering speech (yet. Perhaps at 2 months of age? I forget how these things develop), my daughter is an obvious prodigy. How do I know besides knowing her impeccable genetics (well, half of them at least)?

WE’RE HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL.

Life can begin now.

Never underestimate the power of prayer. Thank you all so much.

Sending much love your way, babe. It’s been a rough road, but you drove like a Nascar champ.

I know I’ve kept up on twitter, but now having finally all caught up with you *here* with the full force of your feelings, conveniently in time to see clearly that you will both be beautifully alright, I kind of wish I could kiss you.

So incredibly ridiculously happy you and your cherished darling Cinnamon Girl are happily relaxing with your boobs.

Awesomeness.
On March 1st, 2009 at 1:03 pm Betts Says:
Now you can start complaining/worrying about normal things, like sore nipples, obsession with the color, quantity and consistency of poop (hers, not yours), and how tired you are. I’m looking forward to it.
