Addendum to earlier post because I just checked my e-mail and Sarah Bukaty Sheiber was born yesterday, one day before Mo!
Of the 14 pregnant people I knew 1 month ago, she's baby #2 and the second girl. Zarah Michelle Brown came on Valentine's Day. Next up is baby Reinneck, a new cousin and I expect that she, too, will be a girl because none of the 14 seem to be having boys.
So I go from birth to a small death, though I hesitate to use such a grave word on such a relatively mundane activity. I have to go to sleep because I have to go wig shopping with Andrea in about 4 hours. Its the cancer thing again, and no I don't associate it with death but rather the demise of Andrea's hair as we know it. She's never had short hair since I've known her. Any day now, it will be gone and she'll look like I've never seen her. Eh, its just hair- but what a cruel irony that you can't even keep what you look like when trying to just beat something so mean and difficult. Birth and wigs, I should call it. What's the death of a few follicles among friends anyway?
Happy Birthday, Sarah. I love that you have your mom's last name!! Woo-hoo!!!
