Happy Birthday Siena!

Happy One Year, Siena!

Unfortunately, Siena has a fever from a busy weekend and getting a flu shot yesterday, so daddy has to stay at home with her on her birthday. Which I guess is good in a way, but it always makes for a long day when she only naps for at most two hours total and otherwise requires near constant attention.

For the record, I dreamt last night that we were at the hospital for child #2, and there was a good chance this one would end up being born on the 11th as well; it was dreaming in real time, and it sure was stressful. Add to that that Siena was up at midnight, 2 am, and 4 am (mom got up that time and stayed with Siena in her room), and it’s a tired household here today.

Thanks in advance to those who sent cards and/or gifts. They are much appreciated, and Siena will definitely enjoy them when she gets her little hands on them. Tonight we shall open everything and dine on cake!
