We want to send a huge thanks out to our friends Stacey and Jim for their thoughtfulness with having this custom onesie made for Adin. This will be something that he, unfortunately, only gets to wear for a short amount of time, however we will frame and put up on the wall afterwards. It's amazing to have such thought and care be put in to a gift...we got a few other gifts that were equally amazing this year that I will post about as I get the chance. It's been nice, lately, to have enough things to talk about that I have a list of things to post. It'll make those moments with writer's block easier!
In other news - I had the weirdest yet best thing happen last night! When I was 14 and 15 years old, I was a nanny for my uncle in California and his 2 amazing kids, Matthew and Shannon. Of course, they were young and realistically I was young so we lost touch. Graduation, college, graduation, new job, college, graduation, new job, new job, college, infertility, and pregnancy all happened and 12 years flew by. Now, I find out that the youngest, Shannon, is not only in COLLEGE (man I'm old) but attending Berkeley (holy talented lady!) in Boston. I am so thrilled to get back in touch with her and have her be part of my life at this point as well as provide her with a sense of family all the way across the United States. I told Jesse that I would be taking her out to lunch - my treat! - as the older cousin.
I have found in the past few years that family is creeping in on me in ways I never could have predicted and the love and support I have felt has been overwhelming :) Adin will be a lucky guy to have so many amazing people in his life.
Can I also throw in there that I love that I have gotten comments and emails with people referring to this little guy as Adin as naturally as if he was already here!?! I love this baby!
