That’s how much longer my mom is here for.\u00c2\u00a0 She and my dad arrived from the prairies the day after Jolie was born and they have been taking most excellent care of us.\u00c2\u00a0 My dad left last week after pulling our yard full of ten-foot tall weeds around our property and my mom has been here on her own since then, feeding Jolie, snuggling her, cooking our dinners, tidying up behind us, and taking the first half of the night shift with a newborn so I can get five hours of uninterrupted sleep.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s been amazing and I am making mental notes of all the things I want to do for my grown children one day.\u00c2\u00a0 Thanks, you two.\u00c2\u00a0 There are no words that adequately convey how grateful I am for all your help.<\/p>\n

And Jolie is thriving and growing and stealing bigger pieces of our hearts everyday.<\/p>\n

While we’re on the subject of my new baby girl, let’s clear up any questions about her name.\u00c2\u00a0 We are pronouncing it with a soft ‘J’ (as in “Zsa Zsa<\/em> Gabor”) and have placed the accent on the second syllable.\u00c2\u00a0 So her name has a little bit of a French flair to it, when pronounced properly.\u00c2\u00a0 Think of yourself as wearing a little beret and a black and white striped shirt, holding a fresh baguette, whenever you say her name and you’ll probably get it right.\u00c2\u00a0 Her name is not JOE-lie, but Jo-LEE (again, the soft ‘J’ makes or breaks it, if you ask me).\u00c2\u00a0 Hope that makes sense.<\/p>\n

Good night, all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
