Sunny's Birth Day Cartoon by Pat

The day Sunny was born Pat didn't get to see it happen. He was waiting to find out if one or both of us was going to live in a waiting room until they brought out a little glow worm with black hair. She was already smiling and had very big eyes. I was in the recovery room from the C-section. The anesthesiologist said I talked about the Beach Boys and the Indiana Pacers at length. I only kind of remember that and it's weird. I don't usually talk bball since moving to Cali. But I've also learned that my memory has these rich pockets of detail.

I want to share this cartoon with you. It's what Pat did biding his time during and after the birth because he was alone or I was shaking my head silently saying, "Forget what the birth coach said. Now get away and turn off the Enya stat!"

Enjoy but make sure you click to see his detail and writing.




Love you blogfriends. Thank you so much for the kind wishes. I'm doing better off facebook. Phew. But I'm still here because...well, I like it.

And Adriana, I feel like a putz because I didn't know it was your bday when we met last week. Good thing I showered you with xmas gifts instead huh? You are a treasure to me. Happy happy happy birth day to you. Thank your Mom for me.

  1. Pat really captured "the look" of a pregnant woman in bed on her side in that second little picture.

    I'm amazed and impressed! Go Pat!

    He could've been out behind the hospital smoking like a freight train and taking little nips from his flask. Not that that is what Joe did. Well, not the flask part. At least I don't think so...

    OH! And GO CANDI! You deserve a purple heart for enduring that c-section!
