Miaya got her first fancy dress tonight! Michael's parents have been visiting for a couple of days, and they brought Kassondra(age 11), another grandaughter along with them. All the way out from Illinois, Kassondra kept wanting to stop and get a present for Miaya. On Sunday afternoon, they dropped grandpa off at the motel, and went to WalMart. Kassondra found the baby section, and picked out the cutest fancy dress for Miaya. At supper that night, she gave Kim a gift bag with a tag that read: To Miaya From Kassondra.
Kassondra's not the only one of our nieces who's impatient for Miaya to get here. Kim's niece Ciara is very eager to see her, and has been babysitting other kids in the neighbor hood to get experience so she will be "qualified" to look after Miaya.
It was nice to see how excited my mother is about Miaya. I'm the oldest child, last to marry, and last to start a family, perhaps that is part of it. But she knows how long we have tried, and all the disappointments we've suffered. It's only natural to be happy when your child's life is getting better. It is getting better, I know Miaya will be a challenge to both of us, both physically and the changes in our lifestyle. But we wouldn't have it any other way.
