New Baby Daddy
Yesterday, was Father’s Day. Norm and I don’t have any children, except for our cats. Miss Ellie was my cat long before I ever met Norm, so I guess he’s kind of like her step cat dad. GG we got after we’d been married for a few years, so she’s kind of like “our” baby, which would make Norm her cat daddy? Okay — yes I know it’s really silly. At least they didn’t give him a Father’s Day card, although I have seen those in the store — Father’s Day card from the cat.
So tonight I was on Facebook and lo and behold I discovered that I had become a great auntie today. My cousin V, who just turned 50 this year — and she’s the oldest of all of us cousins — just became a grandma. Her son N and his wife had a little boy today in Washington. I remember when N was just a baby himself. Not sure when or if I’ll ever get to meet this new member of our family because I don’t travel that far, but it’s great that I can see photos of the little guy on Facebook within hours of his birth. Too cool to say the least!
I’m sure the happy couple have had quite a full day dealing with the hospital, the delivery of the little bundle of joy, and of course all the paperwork involved. Hopefully they have one of those insurance plans with a color in the name, like Blue Advantage, to help cover all the expenses of the hospital stay and pre- and postnatal care. Babies are always a blessing even though they can rack up a bill pretty quickly.
