I spent a week with Elisa, Brett (and Chip) before the baby came. It was very interesting. We were all feeling like Elisa may be perpetually pregnant. Baby Smith just did not seem to be budging. There were definitely emotional moments, when Elisa was worried about the baby coming out, but I really believe it's because she just felt like B.S might just not ever really show up.
Thursday night was pretty normal. I came home from Fuse and Elisa and Chip were hanging out at the house. We were trying to figure out dinner.... which really had to include a few things: eggplant, spice and lettuce (my request). So we ended up going to Healthy Living.
I wish I could remember what we were talking about on our way over... maybe E and Chip can, all I know is that we were laughing so hard we could hardly speak... and Elisa kept saying it was going to put her into labor. I think we were reminiscing about torturing Chip when he was little--- and how he really deserved it. Ummmmm.... because of course he did.
We got to HL and got dinner from the salad/hot bar... and some Mother's Milk Tea. Chip bought us dinner- except for the extra 1.43 which Elisa counted out in pennies for the cashier- and we headed home.
Brett, elisa, chip and I had a nice dinner. Elisa literally had a plate full of eggplant- which was our special prego theme through out the last week. Chip also got us some special plastic flavored cupcakes (yuck). After dinner, elisa started to have contractions. I remember her laughing and saying it was probably gas... becuase I remember at that point, the thought of Elisa actually going into labor was as likely as us seeing Santa come down the chimney, and I am not joking. It was literally pretty unbelievable to us.
I remember the morning going into Fuse, still thinking that it was not really real. My mom told me that Elisa went into the delivery room, and I remember IMing Jennifer (Brett's sis) and Kate (Elisa's bf) and trying to find out how long "labor" could be. I began writing an email to all my friends to tell them what was going on, then I got the text. A picture of Elisa and Zoe. Okay, to be cheesy, I looked at the pic, and immediately started crying. It was amazing, and I will never be able to explain how I felt. I didn't want to tell anyone, i didn't want to forward it, i just wanted to sit and stare at it. Well.... then I wanted to find out when I was allowed to come and hold her :)
Anyway, fast forward, my beautiful sister gave birth to little Zoe, I rushed over, debatebly sooner than I should have and immediately fell in love. I mean, she's nothing more than this adorable, perfect little baby, but you feel like you could just inhale her.
