Exhibit B, and ding dong, mom is gone!

Because of some really ridiculously crazy circumstances and situations, altogether insane Calebness really, stuff I hope to be able to divulge here once it's all figured out, he wasn't able to take me to the airport yesterday.

Thankfully, Brian, Caleb's business partner and Abby's husband (oh! you didn't know that? yeah, it's worked out rather well...if I do say so myself) (Hi, Brian!) was there working and so he had the honors of dropping off a mother who was about to leave her child for the first time. This worked out rather well actually, the boys were running a bit behind because of some meetings, and so I had just enough time to throw my suitcase and purse (just a purse! what the heck?!) into the car so that we could make it to the airport on time.

No dramatic airport goodbyes, no lingering at the car, just a quick kiss goodbye.

So I'm walking to my terminal, all proud of myself that not a single tear had been shed thus far, and marveling at how insane it was to be walking around with nothing but a small hot orange $5 purse from Target.

Nothing but a purse!

Nothing but a purse.....crap. My camera. I'd left my camera in the car. I'd spent the entire day charging the batteries and emptying the card so that I'd be able to take three zillion photos this weekend, and I'd left the camera in the car. Duh.

Abby and I were just discussing the Mommy Brain phenomena, and how I didn't feel like I'd fully got my brain back since Wyatt was born. It's better for sure, an entire nights sleep will do that to you, but it's not back to my pre-baby abilities.

For instance. Two nights ago I was getting ready for bed, picked up the bottle of nail polish remover I'd left on the sink earlier, put it on my cotton pad and had it within inches of my eye. If it weren't for the strong smell, I'd have done it. And probably lost all my eyelashes or something.

Anyway! All this to say, hi! I'm here and STILL haven't shed a tear (go me! even during a skype call!), and am having an excellent time. This morning we sat in bed talking and snuggling little Lydia until, oh, 1 pm. I'm loving the baby sounds and smells, and has anyone found that Baby Hunger guard? Cause this is getting serious.

I'm so proud of you for not even shedding a tear! Give Lydi lots of hugs for me.
And Cabe? Uh. Well. It was bound to happen.

The Mommy Brain stuff is so frustrating! Sometimes I really and truly feel like I have the IQ of a cow...maybe that's because I feel like one.
I am so glad that you are enjoying yourself! All my love to you ladies and the little lady Lydia!
