12/18/21 – Headed For Hank!

This morning, I got up around 5a to move your Elf (I went to bed with you last night so I needed to get up before you), make a charcuterie board for Daddy’s work Christmas party tonight, pack your bag for a sleepover at Olivia’s and some housework. However, around 6:15 you came running out of my room looking for me, so we went back to my bed and snuggled. You were trying to be up for the day, but you were up too late last night for that!!! It took about 20 minutes, but you finally went back to sleep. I got back up, showered, finished my tasks and snuck out the door before you and Daddy woke up.

I headed to Orlando to meet Rosa Salazar from Cozy Cabin Bassets to pick up Hank. I didn’t want to be late or upset you that I was leaving and you weren’t coming, so I wanted to be sure I was gone before you woke up. Daddy texted me around 9a that you were finally awake. You needed the sleep!!!! Jackie meet me there and as soon as Rosa brought Hank out I immediately burst into tears!!! He was sooooo tiny and sooooo cute. I cannot wait to see the look on your face when you see him. You are going to love him so much!!! I brought him to Grandma Weezie’s so she could meet him and she fell in love too. We sat down the street waiting for Chrissy to come pick you up for your sleepover with Olivia you have been looking so forward to. As soon as you guys left, I brought Hank in to meet Daddy and Harry. Both were so excited. Daddy’s work people were here so everyone was doting on Hank. Grandma Weezie kept him while we went to the party.

Throughout the evening, Chrissy sent me updates and photos of what you guys were doing. You played, ate dinner, took a bath, snacked and watched a movie. When we got home you FaceTimed me and you and O were giggling and being silly. After we hung up Chrissy took you girls to the bathroom. You came out, looked at the clock and said “wow! It’s after 10:00. That’s my mom’s bedtime, I’m up past mom’s bedtime this is the coolest sleepover ever!” Hank slept with us and was so good through the night. I can’t wait for you to meet him soon!

We picked him up and headed home after the party and took him home to snuggle and play. He was a little sleepy because he had such a long drive from Ohio, but he played with Daddy for a bit before falling asleep on me watching TV. I let him sleep with me and he was so good and slept all night. I got him up at 3:30a and took him out to pee. He wanted to play after that, but I got him back to sleep pretty quickly.

I love you so much!
