Lennox

Blog No. 91: It's Official XD



Lennox Maxwell Garcia-Abaya. 9 lbs, 4 oz, 21".

The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived. My sister, Audrey, went in for the appointment for her sessarian and all went well. The baby's head was kind of big, so there was no way it could've been born normally. But he's cute as a button!

...

I wonder where that phrase even came from. "Cute as a button" really doesn't make sense if you think about it. Either way he's cute. XP




That's the father right there.

I was talking with him in the hallway. John and I randomly talked about our time at Rio Tierra, although not at the same time, I think because they saw someone that gave birth that they knew in high school. We remembered the creepy, frog looking history teacher, Ms. Curtis, whom I always thought of as being married to a Professor Snape character. He remembered the super young math teacher, Mr. Phongmany, who I only remembered because he made me like math so much. Apparently he was a "TILF" because all the girls had a crush on him. I remembered the super nice Ms. Jennings, the science teacher, who on my last day before transferring to Charter, asked the class to do a farewell card with a message of good luck for me. She was one of the really nice teachers I'll always remember. I think I still have that paper...

But yeah, I'm getting off subject. XD

It feels so weird. It's one thing to actually talk about it and seeing Audrey actually pregnant, but it's totally a horse of a different color when the baby is physically here. Of the times I picture my sister, I sometimes still imagine the younger, high school Audrey. That Audrey was a very spunky, NSYNC obsessed Audrey. I remember a couple of times when we were younger that she was hanging out with her friends, before the American Idol craze, trying to form an all girl singing group. I also remember the day that I won a poster of NSYNC in elementary school and that, when I knocked on her door to give it to her, she immediately snatched it and shut the door right after a brief scream and a briefer "thank you!" XP

It's hard to see that Audrey now with her own living, breathing child. I can say that she is a little bit less obsessive, but still as dorky, a thousand times more mature, and a zillion times stronger. John was the best thing that ever happened to her. Him and, now, Lennox.

Best wishes Audrey and John! <3
