I was just sitting here thinking about
this night two years ago. Mema was here and we were patiently
waiting for our little bundle to make her appearance. Some were
waiting more patiently than others. :) About this time we were
watching tv (Monk, perhaps?) and I was quietly watching the
clock on my phone (the wall clock is fancy and a bit
unpredictable) and counting minutes between mild contractions.
Mom is very observant and commented on my quiet clock
watching.

The next morning we were up at
5am with stronger and more regular contractions. Lex decided to
sleep late so we ended up getting him up and feeding him
breakfast (Zone bars, breakfast of champions!) in the car. He
wasn’t even 2yrs old!! Such a baby. Sigh.

Anyway, tomorrow my little girl will be 2yrs old. Such a
big little girl! She is loving the birthday celebrations.
Saturday’s family party, a tea party at the neighbor’s house on
Sunday which wasn’t at all for her, but she got tons of
attention anyway, and today’s bustling activities preparing for
tomorrow’s party with her friends. I planned for a small
playdate party and so far we’re up to 12 kids!!! With parents,
thankfully! :)

Anyway, gotta get some
shut eye. It’s been a long few days! I gave Eve extra snuggles
tonight and will probably hug her to pieces tomorrow!
