I've got cute pictures and stories from this weekend, but I'm very tired and have to drive up to LA tomorrow monring.....so, I'll just mention a couple of unrelated subjects and save the good stuff for later.
First, I realized after my last post how crazy Kate's growth has been....I wrote the numbers, but didn't really think about what they meant. She initially lost weight after birth, so by August 21 she was down to 8 pounds, 2 ounces. When she was measured at the pediatrician's on October 21, she came out at 15 pounds, 12 ounces....we then estimated at 15 pounds 8 ounces since she was wearing a (clean) diaper and a shirt. That means that in exactly two months, she has almost doubled in weight. Looking back at pictures, I can see the progression, but it's really difficult to see the incremental growth when you're with her every day.
Second, a belated thank you for all the birthday wishes. I got to eat some yummy dim sum and hang out with the family....then we went and bought a new couch. The two events were completely unrelated, but it's a sign of 31's relative unimportance. I actually feel older than I did last year....I didn't mind 30, but this one kind of sucks.
And, last but not least, today is the anniversary of when D and I started dating. It's since been replaced by the anniversary of our wedding, so we're not really celebrating, but it's still a great milestone because it's the "big" number. We have been dating since October 26, 1997 - that's 12 years! Good and bad, we've gone through them all together, but the last year has definitely been one of the best. It started with us living in a small condo and trying desperately to get pregnant. It has ended with a beautiful new baby in a big, fantastic new house. Here's hoping the next year will bring the same kind of joy.
