Birthday

Happy 10th Birthday, my sweet Case!

 I admit, this one was a blur.  I know I brought cupcakes to school, but I can't begin to remember how I got them there.

 I also don't know why you are wearing your Link costume.  Was it costume day at school?  (Side note: thank you for wanting to wear your Link costume for a third year, because getting pants on every day is still a big deal for me and I know I could never have come up with something new.)

The penguin run did delight you.  I cursed the Amazon reviews that failed to mention the incessant squeaking. 

 It has been a very different couple weeks, with too much change and too many electronic babysitters making you crazy.  But you seem happy and we love you.

Sleepy

So I've been busy of late

Still overwhelmed beyond descriptions punctuation grammar.  Facts are easier.  Arrived at the hospital at 0500.  People in surgical waiting room asked when I was due, and we joyfully answered Today!  They celebrated with us and promised to listen for your song.

 0759 on October 11th.  Had intended to watch the surgery but was very nauseous.  Crazy yanking and pulling then incredible pressure and they held up a round red dark-haired little girl up over the drape.

 They played Twinkle Little Star just for you over the hospital loudspeakers and I laughed on the surgical table when they came back announced your weight 10 pounds 2.7 oz. 

The required minimum 48 hours and we all but ran home.  I'm so glad you are here.
