Week in Review: Mini Vanilla Gorilla Edition (#26)

by 83 Comments

Get your pads and pens ready because it’s time for the Week In Review.

The Week In Review is a list, in its purest form, not of the things you still need to do, but of all the things you have done in the last seven days. It’s an achievement list, an ode to yourself, a celebration of sorts, and a virtual pat on the back or smack on the ass. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

I could prattle on about all sorts of exciting stuff from last week, like the fact I managed to shave my legs for the first time in longer than I care to admit or how I finally packed my bag for the hospital. As it turns out that last one was just in the nick of time too since my routine doctors appointment on Thursday afternoon had an unexpected, yet absolutely welcome result.

The simple fact is only one thing really matters right now. We got to meet our daughter, Ave Ruth (pronounced Ah-Vay), named after mine and the Hubby’s grandmothers on Thursday evening at 10:19 p.m.. Weighing in at 5 pounds 8 ounces with an overall height of 17 inches, she’s a mini vanilla gorilla just like her momma.

Also, I survived labor with my nether regions mostly in tact. Oh and I totally asked for the extra stitch. 😉

In light of this recent development, you’ll have to carry on the Week in Review party without me. Just know I’m there in spirit.

It’s your turn. I want to hear from you. Link up and get yo’ list on.

  25. Look at that little vanilla gorilla! What a sweetheart! Ironically, in my post, I wrote how impressed I was that you keep hosting this linkup, despite how pregnant you’re getting…I never expected you’d post less than week after you delivered! and still with a sense of humor.
    You really are a rock star. And I’m sure you will be an amazing mom. Enjoy your little one, take care, and get rest when you can!

  29. Meghan,
    Ave is simply lovely, I can see why you’re smitten!
    And I lovelovelove the “I’m not in labor. Been there, done that” message. So you!
    Rest when you get the chance, use the resources you’ve got, and enjoy.

  40. Well? She’s just perfect.
    You went ahead and made a whole other human being – out of thin air.
    So when you can’t get the laundry done? Just remind yourself that you created an entire PERSON.
    It’s pretty sweet, when you think about the biology of it.
    Men ain’t got nothing on us…
    🙂
