Family Time

Kisko…soon I will be calling you by your real name…which, I might add, contains 4 letters that my name has! How perfect is that?! I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that you and your parents have found each other! And even though we all want to see you so badly and we miss your mom and dad, I am so happy that they have these first days alone with you …to look at you…to squeeze you…to cry with joy over you…to love you and each other all by yourselves! One day you may all need space from one another…but right now is your magic moment of realizing that you are a family for ever and ever. I even had my cell phone ON and ANSWERED it while I was DRIVING so that your Grandma Sunny could give me the good news that you and your parents were finally alone together! I don't know if I was more nervous answering the phone or hearing the news. But it was all good. (All go-o-o-o-d!)
I also have to tell you that I feel like crap! Finding you and your birth has been hard on your old Auntie J! I'm not as young as I used to be! Don't worry…I'm still up to exploring your hillside looking for bugs, and going to see Shamu and introducing you to San Cassiano…but the stress of getting through this has churned what's left of my stomach into a huge knot. I am going to eat Mexican food today (in an office celebration of your arrival) so it will either help me or I'll barf! Either is fine with me because you are so-o-o worth it!
It's only days until we meet little one. Soon it will only be hours. Whenever it is, I'm sure we'll know each instantly because you've been in my thoughts for years!

Love,
Auntie JJ

Little one- your Auntie JJ just totaly made me cry. A few days have gone by since I read your blog. Thanks Auntie J for keeping the faith, for encouraging, supporting and loving my parents, and believing in me.
When Auntie JJ finally gets to meet you she will never believe that at day 3 you were holding your own bottle, and sucking your thumb. We must tell her that you also mimick your Mommy when she sticks her tongue out. You must show her when you meet her. She will be just as impressed as your Mommy is.
We should tell your Auntie that she is not alone with her bad tummy. That's right the little one was up from 12:45am to 5:30am with a really upset tummy. We think it is because of the new formula for the first time that we got from the hospital, or it could be the new bottles, or that your are a super duper fast drinker or that your Mommy and Daddy are having trouble finding the right spot to burb you. Oh well, whatever the reason it's all goooood.
Listen to your Auntie about today little one- she will be there to guide you always and she knows what's best for you...so there!
See you soon Auntie Janet-I'll know it's you, because we've met before!
