sad face


I have a sad face today and here is why...

I'm sad about tomorrow being my last day of work because I really will miss all my wonderful work friends and feeling so loved there! I've always hated goodbyes. I cried like a baby when I left for college and I am pretty sure even though I was excited about the new adventure ahead, it was one of the saddest days of my life. I'm sure baby will be wonderful, but right now I am sad to leave my routine for the unknown territory of parenting.

I'm sad for people in my life who I love that are dealing with hard and heavy things both physically and emotionally. I wish I could just mop up everyone's sadness and throw it in to the garbage and then give everyone a hug and an ice cream cone. I know life doesn't work like that, but sometimes I sure wish it did.
I'm sad because my feet keep getting more and more swollen. I now have a fat roll in the front of my ankle. At this point my Dr. just laughs and my swollen puffy little feet and tells me how sorry she is. I know it is vain but I have never felt so frumpy in my life.
I know this is a happy time, and I am sure I will be overjoyed when little guy gets here, but right now I'm a little overwhelmed with all the changes coming up ahead.

I am sad about your puffy feet, too. BUT- you are one of the cutest girls I know, so unless someone has a foot fetish, they aren't paying attention to your slightly swollen feet. :) Hang in there. Maybe we should get pedicures tomorrow. Would that help?

I like the idea of mopping up sadness & eating ice cream. Yes, please. :)

Maybe we should try out the ice cream cone thing, just in case it IS the secret after all?

I miss you. We need to do something fun when I get back. Have you tried the frozen hot chocolate at Jacques Torres? I've been waiting for a good opportunity . . .

Hang in there! I absolutely know how you feel but there is hope in sight. It will all be over soon and you will have your beautiful baby here with you. Believe me; it's all worth it!

Dearest Caitlin,

This too shall pass as my mother often said. The ankles will be normal and you will have a beautiful baby boy to hold.

You have so many wonderful friends in New York. There will be plenty of moms to give you advice when you need help.
Love,
Auntie Val
