Bad Days

Dear Sonia,

Yesterday wasn't such a good day for your mom. She has an infection, so she had to go to the doctor and then the pharmacy, and she apparently dinged the bumper of the car. The very bumper on the very car that your mom and dad just spent a bunch of money fixing up!

And, your Papa had to go back to Boston to go back to work! Luckily, your Nana is still there and was able to hang out with you and Simba (and Rudy, too) while your mom took care of herself.

You are 10 days old today. You already had your first doctor's appointment, and you only lost 1 ounce! (And your mom says that ounce was from the gigantic spit-up you did in the car -- all over your adorable go-to-my-first-doctor-appointment-outfit!) You are nursing like a pro, which is a good thing, because apparently your mom is making more milk than she knows what to do with! She's freezing it like crazy. You'll be able to have yummy, nutritious breast milk until you're 5! (Not that you will. That was a joke!)

Anyway, here in Boston, it's raining like crazy today and a water main break messed up all the gas lines downtown this weekend, so lots of the restaurants and bars are closed. There's nowhere to even get lunch! It's probably 75 and sunny at your house in Texas.

Love you,

Auntie K
