Holden James M***** was born this morning at 3:45am. Mom is super and baby better after a quick stint in nicu. He is 8 lbs. exactly and 22 inches long. I am a granny, finally!
And TJ started texting after work, and kept it going until I decided that I was too busy on a friday night. I let it go, but still,,, he keeps initiating. I am there but not too there. I wanna go and squeeze and hug and slobber kiss all over my favorite boys! Holden, and TJ.....:)
I will refrain.

Is it just me, or did you leave a name off your list of guys you want to hug and slobber kiss all over? Oh, you didn't?
Ahemmm .............
Hey, congrats on the Granny thing. You'll be a great one and make each other complete. I can already see it. Little Holden will be over at Grannie's for the weekend, but unable to go to sleep without watching as you sing gently and spin on the Granny pole.
I bet you never thought of it that way! You don't really have to. I got that covered.
Was, Why do you insist on covering things up when I like to be uncovered?
What a treat to come on here again and see your name!
Actually, something happened tonight, and I can not sleep anymore.
Holden is fine, and so is my Dad. But my heart.....?
I went to sleep early. Have a lot of emotions and free time....
I woke up 3 hrs later and another text from TJ.. " Can't wait to hold Holden makin an emerg flight tommorrow....when u going?"
(TJ lives in city B, I live in city A, and HOlden lives in city C,..all in different states,)
This at almost 10 pm....I wake up 1 hr later, and start this exchange:
me: I was going Sunday, but D25 told me to wait (she did)
TJ: staying in hotel
TJ: I am...I mean
TJ: back to city B early sunday am
Me: (TAKING A BIG CHANCE)would have been nice to run into you
TJ: agree
Me:
TJ: I'll take lots of pictures.
I am simply astounded. He really is coming around! I know it could be a touch and go. I am not sure he has hit bottom. Safer for me if he has! Anyways, for what it is worth.

Yes, you will make a wonderful granny and I think TJ will come around. He has so many people pulling for him and praying for him and you, of course.
I think this is going to be a wonderful holiday season for you and your family.
You so deserve it.

Well, things are still moving in a positive direction. TJ initiates a text conversation and I respond. He would usually end it after 2 or 3 exchanges, but he keeps it going. He went to visit our little man, and sent me pictures, and a text update that night. I left the convo before he did. I sent pics to him after I had my visit with my little man. Had a lovely visit. Well he has no reason to text me, so I think he invented one. He was teasing me about the menu for Thanksgiving. 2/3 daughters will be w me, little man and fam are staying put. Since I have 2 vegetarians, the traditional turkey meal will not be eaten. D27 suggested salmon(the veggies have endorsed before I was told). Appearantly D27 had a convo with her dad and added squash soup. I had not heard. TJ started teasing me. It was fun. As the new usual, he kept the convo going for about an hour. I think he was testing the waters for an invite,,, but he used many terms like ewww, yuck and yicks do describe how he felt about the soup!
So I hinted back about him coming to dinner.
I think I would rather look forward to a Christmas visit. That will be more irresistible to him, especially with new Grandson there. I think this is happening folks! (my IC agrees!)
Lowering expectations as I type. FYI.

I agree with ewww, yuck and yicks! And I pray for wonderful things for you and TJ. No matter what shape or direction things take, it does look like he is showing that he is 'different' than he was. He does seem to be moving back toward the center of the family, and you.
Merry Christmas. I have had much more contact with TJ over the past months, and then some real lull times. I reacted to both of these by being still in between. Long story short, I invited TJ for Christmas Eve, and he drove 4+ back and forth to be with his family tonight. I have had some hints that he was interested in seeing me. It was wonderful. I even got some kisses for my efforts. Still a long way to go, but indications are positive.
