quick note.

i have so many overwhelming feelings that i want to blog and share with all of you but i lack the time and energy till i get cora's room together completely and out of my living room and kitchen (almost there!). i'm still not sure what 'statement' i want to make in there but it's important to me to make one for her and not just throw something together since she was so "unexpected" for lack of a better term. anyway, I just want to put a HUGE thank you out there in cyber world (before i have time for formal ones) to everyone for their sweet comments, prayers, mailings, love, generosity of time/service or talent. we have had baby showers and individuals bring cora needed gifts (piled all over my house, he he), we've been showered with delicious meals (we are open to a full time position to prepare us breakfast, lunch and dinner. lol) and LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE. We give it right back. I was telling a friend today that I feel like cora has been with me all my life and i forget when someone comes up excited. i'm like, "Oh yeah, she's new here! yes, isn't it great!?" :) we are fans of what has happened in our family like everyone else and just feel Cora is so special in her own way. I'm just so glad she has quickly melted in with our family. Evan is getting used to her, knowing that when she cries it is because she wants a bottle or pacifier (if there's one of either laying around, he brings it to her). today i was in the kitchen finishing some lunch preparedness while she cried for her 1 minute overdue bottle. all the sudden it was quiet and I came in to see if she fell asleep or something and there was evan who found a pacifier somewhere and was reaching over her 'room' (the pack n play), dangling it over her head, lowering it to her mouth. UGH! heart melting! I'm so proud of him for adjusting so quickly to an unexpected sibling. I can't wait till he wants to cuddle her.
Anyway, in closing, I'd like to thank my friend Denise G and her daughter Allison who stopped for a visit and among other things brought.... popcorn and ovaltine! :) You must reeeeeeaaaaallly love me. lol. alright, good bye for now. xoxo
