Well three years ago tonight, I was lying in a recovery room wondering why no one was speaking english, and what bizarre culture considered ice chips to be a reasonable meal option. Travis was somewhere holding Sophia wondering why she didn't have any teeth. In an amazing surgical moment, we had gone from a couple of two to a family of three, "Tyrone Simone" turned out to be a 9lb plus GIRL and our lives have never been the same. Sophia claims that today she is three and next year on her birthday she will be eight. And that probably won't be too far from how it feels...John Lennon says "Life is what happens while you are making other plans" Well, Sophia happened while we were making other plans, we adjusted, and its amazing to look back over the trajectory of our lives in three years. And you know I am feeling sentimental when I include a picture of me on an operating table...Did you know that morphine makes you itch? Sadly my most emotional memories from this life-changing, yet very unnataural birth was of begging the anesthesiologist to scratch my nose.
We had a great day of celebration including celebrity guests at Sophia's class, and a trip to the ice skating rink. I will post pictures soon. And a big shout out to Avery and Joel Solomon - Baby Aidan made his much anticipated entrance this morning - and Avery is probably out jogging with him in the BOB right now - she is amazing. Two 107 babies born on December 16th!
