On Saturday, March 3, when you were just over on week old, we took you to meet your Great Grandma Edith! It was also your first long car ride, which we were very nervous about but you did great! All two hour to Waynesboro and two hours back! As of right now, you seem to not mind your car seat and you really like to ride in the car- it puts you right to sleep! We stopped at Wendy's for a really quick lunch and then were off to Great Grandma's house on Alphin Avenue. When we arrived, your great aunts and uncles (Janet, Donald, Lloyd, Jane, and Bettie) and PopPop and Nana were there having a meeting about caring for Great Grandma. So we said a quick hello but then tried to quietly sneak by to let them finish their meeting. I guess Aunt Janet had been talking up your visit to Great Granma quite a bit because as we passed, she said "How's the baby doing?!" it was very cute! After they finished the meeting, Uncle Donald came over and said hello to you and gave you a kiss on the forehead before he had to leave. Your aunts Bettie, Jane, and Janet all got a chance to hold you and then finally Great Grandma got her chance to meet you. She seemed very excited to see and hold you, Little Edith.
It was a moment that I'd longed for even when you were just a wish. Great Grandma was one of the first people to know about you- we took a picture of your 13-week ultrasound to her on August 19 and told her that we were expecting you and also asked if we could name you after her. It was a very special moment- as was this first meeting!
We got got some pictures and then you were passed around between Aunt Janet, Nana, and PopPop. Eventually both you and Great Grandma were asleep! :) A little later your Aunt Kathy and cousin Peyton stopped by to see you as well! It was a wonderful day and you got to meet so many people that are so important in our lives. I know that it's something we all will remember for the rest of our lives.
