Over the past couple of weeks we’ve seen two sets of our closest friends have their first children. And in that time frame Laus and I have been lucky enough to visit them not long after their big moment.
So we’ve been able to see some pretty Fresh Baby. Not your run of the mill, week-old newborn: I’m talkin’ hours old Fresh. And when there’s Fresh Baby, there’s also Exhausted Parent. And these Exhausted Parents were still stressed, frazzled, and getting ready for many sleepless nights to come. (No offense guys, but you all looked like you got hit by a bus. Or two.) 🙂
Yet I don’t think I’ve ever seen them so utterly happy, proud and smiling so wide. Despite all the waiting, all the stress, and the complete lack of sleep, they’re beaming brighter than the sun.
So I guess we’ve got that to look forward to.
UPDATE:
ps. Please vote in the poll on the right before Laus makes me get rid of the ridiculous choices!
This is such an exciting time for you! Enjoy, your little one will be here before you know it! We are all waiting with much love & anticipation.
Love,
Mom C.
P.S. I like Mini Marr for a name…
Hi Pat and Laurie,
My first choice for a temporary name wasn’t on the list!
So, I voted for Nugget II, but I really like the name that you’ve been using—-MiniMarr…It sounds so cute!
Enjoy this very special time in your lives! Love, Mom Marr
I vote for MiniMarr!!!!!!
Lots of Love, Auntie M
The matriarchs of the family have spoken.
So I’ve edited the poll results accordingly… 🙂
I like the name choices.. I bet you can guess which one I voted for! HaHa It is much easier to post now.. I like it! Good job webmaster
Maggie likes MiniMarr, too!
I vote for Nugget Deux…. it’s got a nice international ring to it. and we are slightly french-canadian thanks to the Goodneys.
Btw, I have the latest ultrasound on our fridge, and there were several people at our party last night who didn’t know me and thought it was mine. One guy even took a beer away from me, hehe. I cleared that up pretty quickly.
Nice and easy comments section. Love it! I cast my vote. Thanks for stopping by it was great seeing you guys 🙂
Hey, at least I brushed my teeth before you guys arrived! Can’t wait for you to experience all of this when your little one arrives — it’s intoxicating. xoxo
