Calm before the…
Day 5 of 30: March 11, 2007
I noticed today the stark absence of vehicles in the driveway three houses counter-clockwise from us today. That can mean only one thing. Blane and Jodi have finally gotten 12.4 minutes of sustained peace and quiet with their brand new daughter Jaida.
I remember our first few days home. We thought everything was under control – but as day three turned to day six, and six to ten, the real world settled around us. It’s tiring work being a brand new mom and dad. They’ve got it under control I know – but those few moments where you have a clear line of sight between you, the bed, and the crib – those are magical. Especially when someone little is sleeping peacefully.
I’m very pleased that things went well for them – and despite labouring – I’m sure Jodi is feeling good. She had that ‘feel’ about her the week before baby.
Now… If Blane can convince Jaida – perhaps he’ll get to play poker again. She already cancelled one of his regular games.
