In Love with MAX

He is finally here! I was so excited to hold him and look into his little face. He is so very beautiful. Long feet, long fingers, sweet round face. New baby smell. I got the call at about 7pm last night and Annie and Devon and "Toot" (Leslie) rushed out the door to the hospital. It now takes me at least a half hour to get there from my place. A bit after 11pm I got another call from Devon. Max was here, all 8 lb 13 oz and 21 inches of him. Long fingers, long feet, sweet round face. I can't wait to see him again tomorrow.


It was so sweet to see Lucy and Joe meeting him. Lucy is so smart for 2 yrs old I cannot believe it. She really knows that "Max isn't in Mommie's body anymore." She gets it. Really. I just love that little girl.

Transitions

Living in Seattle in Lake City puts me 50 miles round trip from Devon and Annie and the kids. This requires going through my car faster than it has for a long time. BUT I do like my new apt. I am used to going to Joe's baseball games and Dev's too. I am used to being 5 minutes away instead of 25 miles one way. I don't like that part.

I do like that spring is finally here I think. I can go out some days with no jacket of any kind.

I am also having to get used to living on far less money than I am used to. I will have to make some money somehow. Will list my big clothes on eBay today. The listing fee is only .15 cents today.

New Place, New life

I am in my new apartment, still getting settled. It is small but I do like it. My new Temperapedic bed is awsome and I am getting it all organized so I can have company and enjoy it. There will be no pics since I cannot locate my digital camera. I am thinking it must be in my car since it did not turn up today when Devon was here carting off boxes to my storage unit or to my car to give away.

I am glad I am pretty much settled before Max comes. I am ready now for him to come. I know Annie is ready so now his grandma is ready too. Come on Max!

I have seen and said "hi" to many people here but have not yet really met anyone. I did sign up for the group's trip to the Tulip thing for April 28th. However I told them that if my grandson was not here by then I would not be able to go. He is officially due on the 29th so that would be cutting it close. If I go I will meet many people. I have seen so many who look really really really old and I say to myself I am not that old or at least I don't look that old. I know some here are very old, as in 80's and 90's but I have seen some who are young looking as I am too. People have to be 55 and disabled or 62 to live here so there are all ages here.
