  • Dear A-

    We've had a bit of a rough week.  Daddy had bronchitis and even though you're over your ear infection, you still have a horrible cough.  Antibiotics make you have such bad diaper rash too... you scream when I change your diaper.  You slept better last night than you have in a very long time though- only coughed yourself awake once at about 3am!

    You're just waking up from your 1 nap of the day- you slept about 1.5 hours. I was really, really hoping for at least 2.  We still don't have a good schedule going since I was in the hospital a few weeks ago.  I guess it doesn't make sense to try now since you're going to have a  little brother tomorrow!!!  Yay!!  We are supposed to call the hospital at 5am to make sure that there's a space for us... Grae should be here by lunchtime!  I'm so excited.  I can't wait for you to meet him!

    Nina is coming up this afternoon after she finishes teaching school.  She should be here at about 7pm and will be here with you during the (hopefully) one night we're in the hospital.  I can't wait to be at home with you, Daddy and Grae.  I'm so glad Nina's staying a week to help us.

    I love you, Aidyn.  I love you so much.  I've really been soaking up your "tisses" and "hug"s that you ask for lately.  I love it when you squeeze my neck.  You are such a sweet, precious little girl.  It seems like you're growing up exponentially fast these last few weeks...  I can't wait to see you grow even more in your role as Grae's big sister.  He's one lucky boy to have you to watch out for him.  I hope you two become really good friends... and that you always, always keep me in the loop, too.

    Well, my love- I'm going to get you and cuddle with you in the bed for a few minutes before we get a snack.

                             You're my girl.
