Me Too

I was reminded this past week how quickly childhood goes. My baby is 7 and I have no diapers to change. Until I go to Suzy's house. She had baby Alice on June 23rd. I made it there with 6 minutes to spare before Suzy courageously pushed sweet Alice into this world. I literally made it just in the nick of time, 3:20pm. She was born at 3:26pm. And let me tell you about my brave sister. Wow. I know what labor pain feels like but I have always taken the easy way out before it comes time for the pushing. And there Suzy was calmly and intently focusing on not freaking out while giving birth without an epidural. Amazing. She should have been a pioneer.

Alice is as perfect as a perfect little newborn baby girl can be. Lots of cute little everythings! And two very adorable sisters. Wow did they keep me busy. I can still hear Georgia "Me too shirt on!" "Me too giper (diaper)". It was me too everything. She reminds me of Gillian with her intensity. Mary is such a great big sister. Such a sweet and thoughtful girl. Still trying to figure out what Georgia's "heychooheychoo" means. It actually sounds like "hate you hate you", but I KNOW she can't mean that since she says it in almost every sentence.

The girls tried out this Barbie Cadillac at Toys R Us. Georgia was NOT happy when we left.

I enjoyed a couple of walk/jogs on the beach. Missed my kids and I think they missed me. Drew kept calling in tears because of heartburn or a sideache. Now that I'm home her symptoms have disappeared. I swear my kids have grown in the past 6 days since I've been gone. Maybe I just got used to smaller humans for a bit. It was fun. Now I'm having a different kind of fun as I coerce my children into helping me do yardwork. Their reward today was going to the pool at the gym. Don't know how to keep bribing them but I'm sure I'll come up with something.
