Basketball still wasn't over when Aaron was born. During the first week of March, Jeremy's basketball team from Umatilla were in the state championship in Coos Bay, OR. Of course I was going to let him go. He had been looking forward to this for a long time.
It was good timing because I was going to stay at my parents house while he was gone. My sister had already planned on coming for an extended weekend to see Aaron for the first time.
It was great to have lots of help whenever I needed it. I was nervous even thinking about staying at home by myself taking care of Aaron while Jeremy was gone.
Our mini vacation with Grandma and Grandpa was great. Mom was a big help to me and even got up with me when I had to get up in the night to feed Aaron. Jenny fell in love with Aaron from the minute she saw him and loved holding him. We had a steady stream of visitors and lots of congratulations and pictures taken. I only held my son when he needed to eat.
We were able to listen to the games on the radio and feel a part of the excitement. After Jeremy's team won 3rd place he came to spend time with Jenny and the family. He had really missed Aaron and couldn't wait to see him. I made sure to send him pictures every day.
