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.

Tubby Torpedo Meets Maggie

There is so much to write about and so many pictures to share.

We finally made it home today – phew!

Barry’s dancing around with Maggie attached to his chest listening to our iPod on random.

We are so in love with this little girl.

So strange that Today is Thursday and we’ve got a sweet little thing to smooch on because on Monday I was certain that I still had another week of being enormously pregnant.

I need to go watch the dance moves that Barry’s busting out with Maggie. Syd and I are great audience members.

Tomorrow I’ll write about how our week started out….
