Caroline's Birthday Party is Today
Today is Caroline’s Birthday Party. Tomorrow is her birthday but the party just worked better on Saturday with everyone’s schedule. This year we are letting someone else take care of the party. There is a large indoor playground on the North Shore that she loves so we are having the party there. The kids get to play and I just get to sit back and watch the fun (and take pictures). Also no clean up afterwards which is a wonderful thing.
She is very excited about it. She got early this morning and wanted to get ready immediately. I managed to get her to calm down and explained that her party was this afternoon. So she is bubbling within now with a grin on her face.
Hard to believe that eight years ago it was my last day before maternity leave kicked in. I wrapped up a whole bunch of projects at Del Rey and took the train home. On the train I was very uncomfortable but there is really no way for a pregnant lady to be really comfortable on the LIRR, the seats are against it. I remember thinking that I was glad that this was my last ride for a while.
It was tonight eight years ago that my OBGYN informed me that my daughter was coming into the world either today or tomorrow. Which was a surprise to all of us. The uncomfortable feeling I had been having all day were labor pains.
A lot has happened between then and now. My daughter sits across from me reading a book on my iPad. We have one less and one more cat than we had then. We have had many adventures together. I still am amazed that such a lovely little girl is my daughter.
I am grateful that eight years ago that was my last train ride for a while.
