Hi girls,
HIGH-PITCHED HAPPY SQUEAL! My little muffin girl is here! I've never been happier. Little Carolina is just the MOST. I wish you could meet her. At a week and four days old, she doesn't do much communicating, but she speaks VOLUMES with her sparkly eyes and hilarious jazz hands. I only have a moment, but I wanted to thank all of you for your incredibly touching well wishes and congrats. It's amazing how touched you can be by people you've never even met! I adore my SYB Babes...and that's why it pains me to tell you that I'm taking a little three-month break to bond with my peanut. But I'll be back, bigger and deffer, around late Feb/early March.
In the meantime, I leave you with this. Carolina came a little early because, well, I was hospitalized for food poisoning due to a shady Jamaican beef patty (I literally almost projectile-vomited out my daughter). So they had to take her out right away! Anyway, between the patty and the cherub, I was in the hospital for what felt like years. The ONLY thing that kept me feeling at all like myself was the contents of my toiletry bag. I'd had the foresight to throw
Crabtree & Evelyn Aromatherapy Distillations in Lavender/Rosewood ($29.50) in my purse as we ran out the door. It's a fabulous travel pack of Crabtree & Evelyn's fabulous aromatherapy Gentle Cream Body Wash, Soothing Body Lotion and Comforting Night Cream. Not only did the lavender scent help calm me down during quite a few high-stress moments, my roommate appreciated the spa-worthy scent wafting out of our shared shower. Yuuum. Forever more, the scent of lavender will remind me of my sweet girl's stunning debut.
Contented sigh.
Okay girls, my bundle o'amor is squirming, so I need to wrap this up. I love you all madly, and will return before you know it!! Have a FABULOUS holiday season!!
Big kiss,
Tia
