When we arrived home, I found a great little package my friend Stephanie left me on the front porch. It had an adorable outfit (perfect for our Thanksgiving dinner plans at another friend's home), a swaddling blanket, a little lovey toy, and a small book.
We changed Ida into her jammies and I sat down with her and the book, I'll See You in the Morning. Ida was so sweet. She was lying on her back facing up at me and I was holding the book right under my eyes, facing her, so she could see the pictures but could also see me. The book had great illustrations for young infants - there's lots of contrast between dark and light. We read the book all the way through with just one little break in the middle.
At 9:42, my phone buzzed:
"Shannon and Rob, i dont think i can do this."
And that was that.
From Ida's book: I'll be here if you need me. I'm only steps away. So close your eyes and go to sleep and dream of a brand-new day.
