Dear Matthew,

I know you won't be able to read this on your own for a while yet, but maybe Mommy or Daddy or Brandon will read it to you. See, I have a story to tell you, and it will be a GOOD story, not one of those boring ones that go on and on without a point. This story is about YOU!

So here goes.

One afternoon in the summer I was minding my own business. Driving home from work, actually, and my phone rang. I couldn't get to it because I was driving, so when I stopped I checked and the call was from your mommy. So I called her back.

And that's when she told me you were coming! Your mommy was so excited. She had just found out that she was pregnant with you, and she was trying to tell as many people as she could! Your whole family and all of your Mommy and Daddy's friends were excited to meet you, too! We didn't know then if you would be a a boy or a girl, but we knew you would be special.

After all, you picked an extra special Mommy and Daddy.

Some time later we found out that you were going to be Matthew, and that you looked a lot like your big brother (who is a handsome dude), but after that you were pretty shy and didn't want to show anyone your face.

Your Mommy and Daddy and Brandon have been very busy waiting for you. They put your room together, and made sure everything you need was all ready for you to come home.

One thing we learned about you is that you are an impatient dude. You decided that you wanted to get out and meet everyone, so you came more than three weeks early! I suspect you'll always do things in your own time, but we will love you all the more for it.

Today your Mommy sent me another message. This time to tell me you were well on your way. And about 3 hours later, your Tio Val let everyone know you were here, born at 1:27 pm.

Everyone was very excited to finally meet you, and I know that as you get older and get to know them you will appreciate how special and wonderful your family is, and just how much they love you.

All my love,

Your other Tia

Sharp-eyed readers will notice two things:
1. This post was actually written after the post at the top(but time-shifted)
and
2. New "Bloggers that Actually Exist" in the blogroll on the right sidebar.

This morning several of the SoCal Bear Flaggers got together for brunch and I finally met the very interesting Gay Patriot West (Dan) and the lovely and generous Tammy Bruce, who picked up the check.

It was lovely to see everyone, and thanks, Tammy!

PS: Noticably missing? One Dr. Rusty Shackleford, whose sojourn in SoCal for the holidays was the impetus for today's get together. Tsk, Tsk.

In the direction of Jen and Beau and Baby Jesse.

A second incidence of bleeding has Jen in the hospital for the rest of her pregnancy.  While I know it's terribly boring and tedious for her, especially being stuck in the hospital over the holidays, at the same time I hope her bedrest is longer rather than shorter, and ends with a healthy little boy and healthy Mom, too.

Any good thoughts and/or prayers would be much appreciated.

Drop Jen a note and let her know you're thinking of her.

I'm not certain she should trust someone like me with her blog while she's working hard at a workshop.

What to post, what to post...?

If you have a moment, please take some time to ask the deity of your choice to intervene and send peace and healing to RP's family, as his mother undergoes surgery today to remove what was originally thought to be a pre-cancerous lump in her breast, but which turned out to be stage 2 breast cancer.
