Rachel left today and I was really sad to see her go. :-( One of the things I find I miss is having lots of different friends close-by. However, I guess university life isn`t really real life so I should stop measuring everything by those standards!! ;-) I am lucky enough with the friends that I do have whether they are just down the road or on the other side of the world so I shouldn`t complain too much!! We went to see Aoi-chan at the hospital and she is slowly getting bigger. She should be allowed to go home by the end of the week. She is SOOO tiny though, not much bigger than my old Tiny Tears doll! I always feel like I am going to break her when I hold her but she seems to settle when i do pick her up (I am rather proud that I am the only person other than Rie, my SIL who has this effect on her!) but I think that is because I seem to smell of eau de breast milk these days! ;-) Joey isn`t really old enough to suffer from jealousy but he is definitely crankier when we take him to the hospital than at any other time!! Random aside, my hair has been falling out lately and it is hormonal but I was struck by the irony last week when I was plucking my eyebrows, I am so distraught about losing so much hair from my head whereas I spend a fair amount of time every week removing hair from other places like my legs and eyebrows! It would be nice if my hormones could be a bit more conveniently selective! LOL!
