3rd Day Birthday Meal

The 3rd day has gone well and been a little less intense. Sydney visited for both breakfast and lunch and ate with us at the hospital. The new hospital that we are at has a "Celebratory" meal for the family, including siblings so we used that as a chance for lunch together for the first time. We had overcooked filet mignon with better deserts than the rest of the meal. We were told after that we could have had the lobster too, but we have learned the mid-west knows meat more than seafood. It was a really nice time together and we celebrated Evelyn's actual birth day together as well with Sydney leading the singing. (Another, more uplifting than yesterday, non-baby update is at the end of this post.)

Here is the setting, Evelyn is in the back sleeping and was not impressed with the solid stuff just yet.

Sydney opted for the sibling chicken finger meal...
but had a hard time concentrating on it when this cupcake creation waiting for dessert.
The whole thing wiped these two out.

And a chance for me to get some quality time.Here is Sydney's rendition of the Happy Zero Birthday! She was louder the first time but every time we go to video and sing softly ourselves she tries to follow us.



We are excited that our real estate attorney told us today that the seller of our NY house finally agreed to take down the decrepit pool in the yard, which was the last hang-up for our contract so we now can move ahead with the purchase and closing date of June 30th to live in Tillson, NY-who would have thunk it? not us.
