1-year anniversary + BONUS :)
« on: January 24, 2009, 05:41:08 PM »
I've been away and very busy for a few days, so hello again to everyone!  Two major pieces of news from the Blues Fairy family:

First off, tomorrow is our first wedding anniversary! (paper??)  As my husband and I pass this milestone we realize how happy and strong our marriage has become and how lucky we are to have each other.  To think that 5.5 years ago we were just starting to write letters!  :o

And the second bit of news:

Our little girl, Fiona Elizabeth, was born 10 days ago, on January 14, at 6.8 lbs and 20.5 inches, and doing marvellously!  Both Daddy and I are very happy, though of course a bit exhausted from those overwhelming first days.  But now everything seems to be falling into patterns.  Besides, she's a sweet little thing, very unproblematic, and now that my MIL is flying in tonight to lend us a hand I'll get even more time to myself (maybe even to waste it on RWD :D)

Please meet baby Fiona:

Awww :) Congratulations!! A child born is the greatest experience you'll ever know!! I have three to always remind me of this!!! :)

There's magic in a little girl,
In shining eyes and tossing curl,
In winsome smile and dimpled cheeks
And music when she laughs or speaks
There's magic in a little girl, its true
Best wishes to your little girl and you!

Happy Anniversary!
Dave & Svetlana

Thank you all!

Wow, this IS a surprise!

It's a Russian tradition, not to talk about a project until it's successfully finished.  ;)

You pregnancy never showed.

Yeah, she popped right out of my head.  :D

I see the Siberian is already on guard duty!  I like the name Fiona

Pushkin is very respectful of the kid - I read somewhere that beasts are instinctively careful around little ones since they know mama is around and will rip them apart in case something happens.  But when the girl grows up a little, he'll be the prey and she the hunter. :)

Yes we both agreed on "Fiona" after fighting over a few Russian names for a while; I figured the girl is American and will most likely live in the US, so why bother with Russian names.  This one sounds well in all languages.  And Elizabeth is my tribute to Jane Austen's novels.  :)

Thank you, recent posters!

Our girl has turned 4 months and is already trying to roll over, sing songs, and sometimes even form syllables (unintentionally).  She has a nice calm character and is generally able to play by herself and self-soothe, which is a great relief for us parents.  Her grip has become quite strong, which is quite unlucky for Pushkin the cat. :) 
She's a happy girl and a joy to all her extended family, including two great-grannies.

BF, I saw your new avatar on other threads so I knew there had been an "event".  Glad I found this thread.  Thanks for the pictures.
I see a striking similarity between Fiona, and my newest grand daughter Maddie

Congrats BF ! ! ! !

Be prepared to fall in love every single day. Last night my two year old daughter woke up when I came home from work after midnight, I was angry with myself for waking her and thought "Oh boy now there'll be hell to pay!" She just looked up at me with big green eyes, then a smile came across her beautiful face and she said "Hi Da-ee." (she can't pronounce the second 'd' in daddy yet) then went back to sleep. I had to go give her a hug and kiss her. When I touched her I felt everything good inside reach for her...

Your journey will be filled with trials and wonders beyond imagination. Love every moment of it, you never get them again.

I wish for your marriage to filled with many happy anniversaries. I hope your families life is healthy, happy and long.
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else :)
