A Bunny and Raggedy Ann

When we were in NY with my parents (after the big Reveal!), my Mom wanted Gus' first "thing" to be from NYC. We looked for a baby blanket, but couldn't find one we liked. So, she picked up a white bunny for our easter basket instead - which was a surprise. This bunny sat on the kitchen table all week and yesterday, when I decided we probably weren't getting good news at the doctors office, I started to put all the "baby" things away. I went to pick up the bunny and found that I couldn't put it down. Instead, I stood there staring at it SOBBING! This was my child's first thing...my child I wasn't going to have! So, the bunny sat with me on the couch most of the day, and my mom said that wasn't wierd :) For the time being, the bunny is going to live in the living room with us.

Several hundred miles away, my mom was getting a knock on her door from a neighbor that she's not really close with, but knows casually. This neighbor presented my mom with a Raggedy Ann doll (I had one when I was a baby), saying that she was thinking about her when she saw it and decided to get it for her. Raggedy Ann is keeping Grandma and Grandpa company in their kitchen as we speak.
