Day 47 of 125

Friday, June 18th, 2010

I spent the majority of the day talking on the phone with my Grandmother. She lives in Alberta, so sometimes we have a hard time getting our time differences to sync up nicely so that no one is caught at lunch or dinner time. To give an idea of just how long we were on the phone. I had just, quite literally, finished eating lunch and by the time I got off the phone with her I had to start preparing dinner because my Husband was going to call in 10 minutes to say he was on his way home for the day. So, over about 4 hours maybe. I never looked at the clock but I have a rough idea of when I finished lunch. Thank goodness for great long distance phone plans!

Anyway, my cousin had her first baby on Wednesday, a little girl (Which I predicted. Apparently I have a knack for calling a babies gender, just can't seem to get that clairvoyance to transfer over to loto tickets yet.) with a little bit of orange peach fuzz hair. She's very cute I'm told. She weighed in at just over 8 pounds and 21 inches long. I don't know if it's because I've never had kids but does that seem like a big baby? Certainly gave me chills at the thought of someone having to pass something that size through their body. I don't know how you ladies do it, all I can say is, wow.

Downside to living so far away from everyone, last to know everything and you don't get to be a part of gatherings and so on. I would have loved to be there when my Grandmother holds my cousins baby. That's 4 generations together. It's just sort of aw-strucks you. Not many families get to experience this. And I'm missing it! *smacks palm to head.

I miss my Granny and Great Aunt.

I hope everyone had a great day and has a wonderful weekend.
