35 minutes ago, 5 years ago Lux was born. it honestly seems like yesterday, when i held her slippery on my tummy and i cried so hard to meet her, and see her for the very first time. it was a stressful delivery (the last 20 minutes) and the mood in the delivery room was somber and serious and i felt like i could have cut the tension with a knife. we were so relieved when she was born, completely heatlhy (albeit with her little eyes squashed against the sides of her head and a terrible cone on her head from the vacuum). anyways, writing this more to be sure that i don't ever forget (does a mom ever forget their little one's birth??).
today we had a perfect family day, starting with crepes (lux's request), gifts, coffee, playing with new toys, stain baseboards, tidy house, farmers market, quiet time/rest, bath, varlamos, cake, stories, bedtime. tired...they are now asleep, or maybe they aren't, but i'm too tired to go and see.
she got a huge haul for her birthday (i always forget what i've bought so i keep buying...) - clothes, lots of them; guitar; barbie, american girl stuff (bed, dog, sleeping bag, clothes); lego; board game, hmmm i think even more than that.
we took a great snap of us taken at the farmer's market today to celebrate her birthday, its a perfect picture of us, we're totally natural and undone.
yesterday (sat) i took lux with me for a playdate with a few of huxley's hooligan friends and she said (and we all giggled) "my dad went for a bike ride so we had to bring huxley with us".
