You’ve Got Mail!

Sarah received her 1st piece of official mail today! She exists in the real world!! It was her Social Security card. As you can see by the picture she was very happy and excited by this momentous occasion. There are a few more pictures of this on Baby – Page 4.

Now, she can go get a job and stop being such a sleepy, gassy, do nothing!!! (Oh wait a second, that’s her father.)

Sarah also went to the Dr. for the 1st time today. She is now 7 pounds 11 ounces (She has gained 12 ounces since leaving the hospital.) and 20 1/2 inches long. (She has grown an inch.) The visit with the Dr. was going very well until he stepped out at the end and came back with a needle for Sarah. It was a vaccination, but she didn’t like it at all. She did get a Daffy Duck band-aid to make it better, but she didn’t fall for it.

Since Sarah was such a brave girl at the Dr. she went to 7-11 afterwards so Mommy and Daddy could get Slurpees. She felt much better after that.

As if Friday couldn’t get any better, Sarah had a visitor that came 3000 miles just to see her!! My best friend, Dave, came home from California to visit New Jersey for a little

while. He wanted to check out the new kid in town. Dave even brought her a gift from California… Pixie Dust!!! (Things are a little strange and the people are even stranger out in California)

We weren’t supposed to see Dave today, but he ended up at the wrong airport and a different train station, so we went and picked him up at the train station in Long Branch while his parents had to turn around and come home from the airport. Now this might sound like a strange and bizarre story, and would be, if it involved anyone but Dave.

All in all, not too bad for a girl who is 2 weeks old on Saturday! Imagine what the next 2 weeks will bring!!
