Azure and I attended a birthday party yesterday for my best friend A’s three children. They are turning 5, 6 and 7 this fall. They live out of state so we have to celebrate when we can. The kids don’t mind. It spreads the presents out.
This was the first occasion that many of A’s family and friends had a chance to see Azure. They have all been praying for her and sending good wishes to us through A but this time they got to meet her live and in the flesh. She performed beautifully. It worked out perfectly so that as soon as we got to the party she was ready to eat. I gave her a bottle and she promptly fell asleep for the remainder of the party.
A’s mom, who has been my “Other Mother” for over half of my life now, was holding the snoozing Azure while we all watched the kids opening presents.
She said, “Blue, she is so sweet! Don’t you just want to close your eyes and cry because you are so thankful to have her?”
I said, “I do sometimes”.

That is beautiful. I sometimes find myself just amazed that I had such a beautiful baby as well.
Hey Blue,
I read your archives over the last few days and just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your blog. Especially the parts about you and your husband's relationship. I imagine you don't have much time to post now. But I have a few questions:
How is Azure doing?
Is she at daycare?
How are you doing?
Is your husband helping out more now?
I am a mom to a 6 month old who works full time myself.
Take care!
Lisa
