Happy Birthday Baby C!

Baby C turned 1 today.  I can hardly believe it.  I had a migraine today, killer type can't see out of one eye and want to die migraine.  It's at a manageable level now and I'm riding the high of prescription migraine medication.  My last pair of Fiorinal.  

Yesterday, my munchkin was sick and I had to skip Baby C's birthday party.  I couldn't leave munchkin with a sitter, even grandma, when she was feeling so bad.  I called to let them know and Baby C's mom took it well.  That was nice.

I remember the first time I told Raven's mom that I couldn't make a visit because munchkin was sick.  Raven was 3 years old.  Her mom had canceled visits before but never me.  Raven's mom gave me the guilt trip, that Raven would be disappointed.  I apologized.  She asked why I couldn't leave munchkin with someone else; wasn't Raven important enough for that?  Well, no.  I'm sorry that she was disappointed...but she had her parents to explain and support her.  Munchkin only has me and expects Mommy to be there when she's sick.  I still felt like crap for canceling...and worried that I wouldn't get another visit...but I did a few weeks later.  Munchkin was feeling better and the girls played and all was good.  

I'm not worried that Baby C's mom will not invite me next time because I couldn't come this time.  She understands, I think.  I won't make a habit of canceling...but I will if I have to and I don't have to worry.  It's nice that they're so easy to get along with.  

But anyway, it's Baby C's birthday.  Happy Birthday Baby C!  (I wonder how long I'll be able to dub her "Baby C")  Here are the links to the posts her mom and I made last year when she was born in the Birth Story section.  It's cool that they're still there.
