Babies bring
joy. It is the greatest. I feel responsible for bringing so
much happiness to Steve’s family.
Grandma Kathy comes over every week, gifts in hand, camera snapping away
, grinning from ear to ear. She is so
thrilled to tell us about how she has been sharing pictures with everyone at
work (*sometimes more than once). Her
friends want to come see the baby too.
I don’t even have all the birth announcements mailed yet and she already
brought hers in to be custom mounted and framed! She has pictures of the nursery, her first
diaper change, and tons with Steve and Tessie.
The first time I left Tessie it
was with Grandma Kathy so I could buy groceries for the birthday party. They spent an hour alone together and I
think all three of us loved it.
Great Auntie Pat came over yesterday. She was already oohing and aahing from the
front step. She could not wait to get
her hands on the baby. She kept saying
how different she looked than when she was 4 hours old. I loved hearing the pride in her voice as she
talked about meeting Tessie at just 4 hours old. Tessie stared at her like crazy and even
talked to her a bit. It was almost as if she knew how
much it meant to Pat to do that.
Great Grandma Lorraine was so happy to see her yesterday too. Tessie gave her a good stare and almost
smiled at her, but at 4 weeks its just
too soon to expect that. That family is just so happy
every second they are with Tessie I can’t even be overwhelmed when they come
over. I’m just glad to have played my
part in bringing this bit joy into their lives.
