Today was supposed to be the day. The day that our family got bigger. But almost like an out and back, the whole thing from the day it came scratching to a halt to now is as many days from when it was on to the halt.
The apprehension of today has been growing like water from being warm to a slow boil. And it's been hard. But the day was finally here and wasn't sure what to expect. I wasn't sure how sad it would be. But both of us had it our minds what the small goals for the day and really just in an effort to get it through it.
Turns out -- it was nothing like I would have expected.
First off, S left to head to the train and I left to drop the boys off. My phone battery was dead so atypical, I just left it home to drop the boys off and get out for a run.
But whenI got to daycare, one of the women in the office stopped me and said that I needed to call S because she had tripped on the stairs at the train station and hit her head.
What? So instead of going to the hospital for another little one, we were going to the hospital for possible head injury. By the time I connected with S and got to the train station, apparently the bump had gone down considerably, which is a little scary because it was still big. She was walking with her hands in her pockets, going through her day and just thinking about how she was going to do it. Then all of the sudden -- BOOM -- right on some metal stairs. OUCH.
After a couple of hours -- all clear from the Dr, but just such an unexpected day.
However, it ended on a really nice family dinner and it was great.
