MOTHER'S DAY 008

Uta the midwife giving Sullivan his first talk
about being a good boy for his mom.

Well it's definitely been an amazing few days! Jamie and Johnny are doing wonderful and Sully, of course, is just beyond words. He is so good so far and is giving his mom time to rest. Mind you it's hard to make her go lay down as all she wants to do is hold him and stare at him (and rightfully so). You know my sister told me that I wouldn't believe the feelings of seeing that grandbaby for the first time. That it was different again from the first time you see your own child and she was so right. It's a different love, not stronger but so powerful and you know that even though you aren't that strong, young, twenty something year old mom, you could kick some serious butt if anyone messes with that little boy. I can't wait to take him for his first walk through Beacon Hill Park.
Yesterday was a crazy day as all Johnny's family came for a visit, so including myself there were 7 extra people in the house. I was really concerned and probably a pain in the butt because I didn't think Jamie should have to deal with that considering her and Sully hadn't even been home a day and she came home just 12 hours after he was born but it all went quite well with Mom & babe hiding out in the nursery. The family were all great and really respectful of how tired everyone was. I was just quite concerned about the fact that Johnny's little niece was quite ill. She never went near the babe but I went around disinfecting things after they left.
S0, and you will love this, I'm sitting at Jamie's last night and Uncle Danny phones to congratulate his little sister (it was Mother's Day in Tainan), then he wants to talk to his mom and he announces to me that Jenny is pregnant!!! Too cool! She was scared to tell him because he was planning on coming home this summer and looking for work and she would prefer to have the baby in Tainan but Dann was absolutely thrilled. And it worked out so well. He had given up his teaching position and had found a replacement but then he got a phone call and the fellow backed out so Dann walked right back into his job. All is good!!! Now we'll have babies in Taiwan, babies in China and babies in Canada. I've made Heather promise that she has to marry a vet and live in Victoria to keep her mom and me happy.
I will post some pictures later but my camera is at Jamie's, have a great day and Happy Mother's Day to all you Mother's who might read this.
