Great day we had with Granny at the hospital. It was fantastic to see Granny with Mary Ann. Also a little odd though. Nice to think about that this little baby I had in my tummy can become so important to another family. It felt a little odd unto I realised; Oh yeah, it is also my family. One girlfriend told me that Cecilie must be feeling the stronger bond between her and me after having Mary Ann in our life. Cecilie has been so much more affectionate towards me since Mary Ann was born. Just like before she became a pre teenager. That bond I also suddenly felt today.
I missed Jim. I would love to see Granddad with Mary Ann as well. We talked a lot about him. What he would have said and so. Cecilie changed her nappy and sat with her. I sat with her and Granny sat with her. The pour child got very tired. She got her photo taken by both Neil and Granny. One for Auntie Julia, one for auntie Cath, one for uncle … Oh yeah, Granny think that Mary Ann looks like Uncle Robert as a baby!
We let Mary Ann's sleep and went to town with Cecilie unto Mary Ann’s next feeding time. In town we let Cecilie decide the route. She spends some of her Christmas money. In the afternoon she and Neil went to town again when Granny and I stayed at the hospital. In the afternoon Cecilie spend some of her money again - on Christmas presents for Mary Ann, Granny and Granddad. What a nice thought. We had dinner at a nice steak house before we went home.
At the house we talked about summer holiday plans in UK. We certainly want to take the trip to England in July/August as planned. When I see Mary Ann with Granny I’m thinking how important it is even though it will be a slightly importunate. I will discuss with Neil and then we will start making plans.
