Pádraig Henry Doherty, a fine Irish name if ever I heard one! For those of you who may not know, that's Patrick in our language. Oh, but with the wee boy having a Great Grandfather being Irish, we'll be calling the lad Pádraig. Have ya noticed the wee one's initials ....P.H.D.(born with a Ph.D.)pretty impressive don't ya think! Of course me being his Nanny, naturally I'm a tad prejudice. This past Saturday Papa, Emma (the wee one's 2 year old cousin) and I spent the day at Ryan and Jen's. Emma and I were occupied pampering Jen, you know; itching her legs, rubbing her head and massaging her back.
Ryan and Papa used up most of the day prepping the nursery and laying on the beautiful one-of-a-kind blue paint. We three girls were so excited, quite frequently we would abandon the couch and run into the nursery to check on the progress. Emma would always exclaim "pity". After a quick exit, back to the couch we would go to continue our personal spa for Jen. I must admit, I love pampering my Jen. It is a joy to be near by and travel this journey with her and Ryan. I am so excited and can hardly contain myself while I'm patiently waiting for our gift from God to arrive. Ryan has been a real trooper through this uh, this uh, this pregnancy. He has stepped up to the plate and basically taken over the house so Jen could stay off her feet and rest. When we come in the door for a visit, he is usually cleaning the kitchen vacuuming the floors, cooking breakfast or taking care of Jen's needs. Wow, my hat's off to this man. From what I've seen, I believe Ryan is going to be a great Dad. With Jen having all the examples from her Nanny Marie and Mama Emma to follow; and hopefully I have influenced her in a positive way, our baby boy is going to have great parents. I would like to close this blog with an Irish quote: Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. May the road rise with you.
God bless each and everyone who reads this blog.
A sinner saved by grace, Nanny
