Was sound asleep 20 minutes ago, but it got so hot. It's supposed to be raining, but it's just crazy humid.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Happy Wednesday.

Believe it or not, I actually got a good night's rest. Thank you God.
Up, dogs been out, I've showered and mostly dressed, and breakfast is cooking.
Today is Caitlyn's birthday. 25. Gosh.
And dad is having cardiac ablation this morning.
Still no rain. Humidity is building, and our temps are rising again. We are getting about 7 days, or more, of 90+ temps. Another little heat wave for us.
Our leaves are not turning colors, they are simply dying from the heat.

Good to hear lily. Still hot here. Cooling down late next week I guess.
One of our male nurses and his wife are adopting a baby from Korea soon. They should be getting here in about 2 months. She will be about 18 months old. Going to need some gift ideas. They have a son who is about 8 years old so I'm guessing they have no baby/toddler things.
SB, what about a photo session? New family portraits could be amazing.
A gift of a family outing would be nice.
Is there a Build-a-Bear around you?
Probably need to wait to see what they need before buying for a toddler.

Build a Bear would also be a great "you have a new sibling" outing for the 8 year old. I always have a soft spot for the other kids when a new one shows up and hogs all the attention.
No build a bear here. No kid's outing places either. I really like the idea of a photo shoot and know the perfect person to do it. I'm not doing anything until they bring her home. These things can end badly. They go to Korea for court next month and then back another month later to get her.

I like the photo shoot idea too. And yes things can end badly. Don't jinx it.

Make sure that there are "goodies"
for the 8 year old. No matter how
excited he is to have a new baby
sister, he's used to being the center
of attention of his parents.

My mother told me a story. When I was born, she wanted to make sure my brother didn't get jealous. So her mother & father took him to their house while my father picked us up at the hospital. Grandma played with him, and spoiled him for a bit. After getting me settled into my crib and asleep, dad picked up bro. Never mentioning me, asked him how his day with grandma went. Got bro home and spent an hour or so with my mom whom he hadn't seen in 3 days (they kept new mothers in longer in those days). They fixed him something to eat, played a game with him, cuddled, etc., (he was 2) then she asked if he wanted to see his new sister. By that point he was happy, had received a ton of attention that was not related to me, and he was very excited to meet me.
I don't know if it was because of the way they handled my arrival into the world, but my brother and I have never had any jealousy towards each other, never really fought, and got along (and still do) great with each other without any kind of resentment.
I don't remember meeting my brother. I was 2 weeks away from being 2 years old when he was born.
With my kids, they were involved with the newest addition as much as possible. I let the older help pick out names, we called the baby in mommy's tummy by either their name, or brother, as soon as the older was allowed in the room, I put the new one in their arms.
Caitlyn was outside my door when I gave birth to Jesse, both Caitlyn and Jesse were outside my door when I gave birth to Aaron.
I had them on the bed with me from time to time while laboring.
They would count, or talk to me, or sing to me during contractions until the contractions became too severe.
They've always been close, they have strong relationships today.
