Things Come Full Circle
Five weeks ago I wrote about the death of my grandmother, Marie. She was born in 1923 and missed the birth of her first great-grandchild by a mere 20 days. Oliver will never meet Marie, although even if she had lived to see him born he wouldn’t have been able to see the fiery woman …
Don’t lose it…

Details to follow, but all is well. Oliver Michael, born at 9:35 pm. 6 lbs 15.2 oz, and 19.5 inches. We will add pics later today. K, J, & O

I’m awake enough to notice the time discrepancy on the blog, but not yet awake enough to go rooting around the dashboard to see why daylight …
Montage
Time goes progressively slower each day you go past your due date. I need a “passing my time until childbirth” montage. Any song suggestions?
