Parenting 101

So, I started a different post today all about how last weekend I spent my time convinced that a baby was not on the horizon. Go figure that I’m unable to finish the post today because that very, very cute baby has appeared in my life (lucky me!) and time has slipped away.

Our families have been so amazing – the door revolves and they arrive with food, smiles and arms to hold Maggie. Friends have reached out and are waiting patiently – we thank you for your patience. We know you too want to meet Miss Maggie and your time will come.

Tonight Barry’s parents are here and tomorrow will be the Great Grandparent Summit for my side of the family. It is all overwhelming, but in the very best way possible.  Maggie has already made so many people so happy. Imagine that. Three days old and already putting smiles on faces.

The take-away for me today is that when I awake and say I’m going to do something, it is okay if it doesn’t necessarily get done if I’m happy, Barry is happy and our little girl is happy.

And believe me, we’re happy.

  1. Yes welcome to your new life – starting the day with a plan and finishing it having accomplished nothing you thought you would – but yes, happy! SO HAPPY for your happiness!

  2. So happy to hear that you are all happy and celebrating with family. Connor continues to be concerned about Nid-nee, but I have assured him that she is doing fine as a big sister.
