10 days

You met your glamma and grandpa yesterday. They love and adore you.

Today you looked at me, and it filled my heart with joy.

First nick name

Whip/Nae Nae

First opera

Cori said, "there are 7 of us now."

Ruby's first opera on WQXR is Donizetti's 'Maria Stuarda'

Cori reflected and decided labor started around 7am yesterday, when the contractions started becoming more frequently.

First soccer game

Ruby is watching her first soccer game PSG versus Reims with her brother.

Hello

Your mom is at 7, I should be able to meet you today.

Ruby is due in 2 days. The excitement is hard to contain. Most people go past their due date, and all that, so the due date is an approximation. She will come when she comes. Anandi is huge.

I read about the world, I have so many dreams for Ruby. I want her to be smart and soulful and confident. So many dreams, so much hope.

Momma is nesting

The host and grower of Ruby has begun to get the room in order. She has done a lot of research and talks to her friends on the vegan mothers facebook group. She is getting the room in order. She is nesting. It's a beautiful thing to get a room ready for a life that hopes to come out of her in February. I almost wrote a new life, but she's been wiggling around and getting our projections for quite a while now. I ask Momma how Ruby is doing and she answers me easily. Mostly it's about movement. She gets nervous if she doesn't move a lot, and she is tried if she moves too much in her sleep. There are so many things I could have written in here along the way. Your Momma bought a mirror so she could see you in the car. Andres said, "you got a mirror for her?" Momma said, "No, I got a mirror for me." Your Momma thinks about the child rearing consequences, creating patterns and expectations in life that are realistic. She has a restless mastermind that is planning for every eventuality. Your Momma is very excited. Your father is too.
