Twenty-four hours ago, Baby Boy B wasn't born; twenty-four hours ago, my best friend wasn't sitting in my living room; twenty-four hours ago, the world was quite a different place.
SO much has happened in the last twenty-four hours. it makes me wonder how much really does happen in such a truly short period of time. in our world, here's about what transpired:
9:40p.m.- Our wonderful friends sat in our living room, wondering if tonight would be the night that their second son would be born. they drove down our way since we live seconds from the hospital and since their two-year-old son would stay with us when my friend did, in fact, go in to labor.
10:00p.m.ish- they decided that K's contractions were too far apart, so they decided to drive back the 20-some minutes to suburbia for the night.
12:00a.m.ish- we go to bed.
2:35a.m.- K calls, "we're on the way"
2:40a.m.- M is in our bed; the dog is locked in the kitchen. nightlight is ready and books are piled by the bed. we are ready for J (their 2year-old) to spent the night!
3:00a.m.- J is in M's bed ready for the night. book have been read; now we just wait!
4:25a.m.- J is still wide-eyed staring around the chaos that is M's room; B wakes up. P goes to hang with J, while i go feed B her bottle!
5:00a.m.- everyone is sound asleep!
6:30a.m.- B awakes! my wonderful husband goes to get her! (wow!)
7:00a.m.- i'm still asleep!
8:00a.m.- everyone is still asleep (except B... ok!)
8:15a.m.- B is asleep!
9:30a.m.- J wakes up!
9:35a.m.- I wake up!
9:45a.m.- M wakes up!
Our day begins! we have the fun of having J here! And the fun of having gotten M a BIG GIRL BIKE yesterday! and the new baby who was born at about 5:56a.m.!!!! the excitement never ends! but wait- there's more! Our best friends are on their way up from atlanta, as we speak! horray! Big, HUGE, FUN weekend!!!!
and, the fun never ends! or so, it didn't until about seven minutes ago when everyone (at least under the age of 4) finally fell asleep! and so now, i get to visit with one of my best friends! and tomorrow i get to visit with one of my other best friends (and her newest baby, who i CANNOT wait to meet!!!!!)
and so, this has been one of the busiest, most wonderful weekends of my life! YAY!
