Beginning of Week 32/40
Dear Little George,
I filled out my pre-admitting paperwork for the hospital yesterday and one of the blanks on the vaccination page was a space for your name. I wrote it in. A---- Kagle. Naming you on an official form made you seem almost like a real person. I guess I still don't see you as "real" - even when there is plenty of evidence to support your existence.
Your Grandparents Kagle came back into town for the beginning of Kagle Season. Simon was so excited to play with them yesterday that he gradually wore himself into a breakdown right after they left. We've never seen him so obviously tired yet wired. He was a maniac (and not in a particularly good way). We did our best to get him to eat something, bathe him, and put him to sleep but it was necessary for both of us to be there to calm the wild arms and legs. Grandparents are just that exciting. He eventually woke up hungry and we fed a much calmer Simon a nearly midnight snack.
While they were here, Grandfather (aka Feefadder) helped Daddy put together your crib and we hung the animal paintings on your wall. Last week Jacek installed your light/ceiling fan. We still need to put in the furniture from Simon's room but your room definitely looks like place a baby would enjoy.
Our eight month checkup is at noon today.
Love,
Mama
