Day -6 : Birthdays

Sadie Rose -

You know that cool middle name you have? You are named after your Grandma E. (aka "DeeDee"). Her name is Rosalie. Your mom and I just got back from celebrating her birthday. Yeah, you guys are not only going to share part of a name, you will also share the same birthday week. She turns 54 on Wednesday and you have your initial birthday on Friday.

For Grandma's birthday we all got together at your Aunt Amy's house and ate lasagna. Mom made some cupcakes and a jello salad. All of the food was SO good. Then we went to the zoo for a big Halloween celebration. Your cousin Jasmine was dressed as a Care Bear. There were lots of people at the zoo and while we were waiting to get in, a lady we don't know asked us about you. She wondered if you might try making your entrance into the world while we were inside the zoo. As good as a story as that might have been later in your life, I am glad you decided to wait so you didn't have to be born around a bunch of zebras and elephants!

So your mom and I and even your Aunt Amy are wondering if you already have a lot of hair. I know it sounds silly, but we are all so eager to meet you that we find it fun to imagine what you might look like. From the pictures we've seen of you already, I think you might just have a long nose like mine. Sorry about that!

I love you so much already! Be good!

- Dad
