You're Our Fortune, Cookie!


Dear Lily,
The day we found out we were having a baby was such a happy day for mommy and me. Naturally, we celebrated by ordering some Chinese takeout. At the conclusion of our sumptuous banquet we unwrapped our fortune cookies expecting to be underwhelmed by their divinations as is usually the case.

I think mine said something ambiguous like, "In life, one breathes many times."  I bet that sounds pretty profound after a nice glass (or two) of merlot. But I digress.  Now, mommy's fortune actually seemed to give a bone fide prognostication.  It said, "You are about to embark on a most delightful journey!"  And on the back, it said "Girl."  Freaky, right?  You can't make that stuff up. That was last Fall.



So, here we are now.  At 3:33 p.m. today you will have been with us for exactly three weeks! Sometimes, I can't believe the time has gone by so quickly.  You are a good baby and you are a delight. Even though you nearly blasted me with a projectile poop yesterday, I won't hold it against you.  

We are very fortunate to have you.

Love,
Dad
