Congratulations

For all of you out there who read my blog and don't know that Polly Waltner had her baby ... well, she did. Sam Waltner was born last Saturday, June 25 very early in the morning. I was out of town when all this was happening, but I think everything went very well. My mom even told me Polly wanted to go to church the next day. I don't know why you would want to go to church one day after having a baby, but I guess I'm not Polly.

A few months ago Polly and I were in a baby store and we laughed at this thing called a "Boppy." It's an inner tube shaped pillow a mother can put around her waist. The baby rests on the Boppy and it is supposed to make nursing more comfortable. The baby can also use the Boppy as a pillow / bed / soft-thing-to-play-on. It doesn't sound that funny, but believe me, it seemed pretty silly in the store that day. Well, I got her one sort of as a joke and sort of because I think it could actually be useful. I picked out one with cows and horses on it because Polly, Kyle and Sam live on a farm. When I got home, however, I realized there were also zebras, elephants and armadillos on the Boppy. Oh well, it is still probably going to be the bestest gift Sam will get ever. Forever, the best gift. I'm serious. I just hope no one else saw the Boppy and beat me to it. If any of you were thinking of getting her a Boppy, just forget it right now.
