We were so fortunate that our family traveled from afar to help us
during H’s first month. They kept us fed, our dishes clean, and laundry washed, all
while loving on our sweet baby boy. We will be forever grateful to them.
Our first visitor was my mom, now known as Grand Mar. She swooped
in like Mary Poppins the day after we
got home from the hospital and stayed for two weeks. Grand Mar is a nurse, so in
addition to all of her help, she took care of me as I recovered from labor and
delivery. She spoiled us all, especially a little guy who got his pajamas
warmed at night.
Next came Bevie and Papa. H is their fourth grandchild and they
are professionals when it comes to loving on their grands. H is named after his
Papa. It was a special moment when they met for the first time. Bevie is a baby
wisperer whose calming presence brings peace to babies and new mommies alike.
She stayed for a week and took such good care of all of us.
My dad, now Pappy, was unable to visit when Grand Mar came due to
his teaching schedule. By the time he arrived, he was chomping at the bits to
meet his grandson. Pappy came to visit with my sister, Aunt S, during his
spring break. Spring came early this
year, so their trip coincided with an especially beautiful peak cherry blossom
season. Pappy said that the good Lord was putting on a show for H's birth. I
think he is right.
