Gigi’s baby naming was this past Saturday, the hottest day of the summer. I think it got up to 106. I tried to relax, but between party planning, worrying about germy hands touching Gig, and everyone suffocating in the heat, I just couldn’t enjoy myself until I jumped into the pool after most of the guests left. It was my own private baptism. Sort of symbolic I suppose. I am now officially a mother. Everything has changed. During the ceremony, my mom said “you are born the day you become a mother. Until that day you do not exist.” Pretty heavy. When she first said it I didn’t really agree. But today, I wonder…
Wow how symbolic-the whole water baptism thing, totally get it… And Libby went deep and I hear her. I mean i think we existed before our children were born but now we are here for a whole new light and have so much reason to exist! Just saying.
