My sweet baby, 5 weeks ago. I've been tearfully going through some pictures from that day and feel I have to gaa-gaa up my blog like never before.

The 3 greatest moments of my life are and always will be the times when Emily, Thomas and Simon were placed on my heart for the first time. The feeling is like jumping out of an airplane, winning the 20.5 million dollar lottery, eating something intennnsely delicious, finishing first in the Olympics triathalon, winning the Oscar for best actress, that initial infusion of warmth and delight that a glass of wine brings multiplied by 10,000 and die'n and go'n to heaven ALL AT ONCE. Well, you mom's know exactly what I'm talking about. And for you non-moms or not-yet-moms, if you're picturing a slightly drunken woman eating chocolate cheesecake and flying through the atmosphere with a gold medal around her neck and a big smile on her face, you're getting my drift.
