A daddy's hug can be a tremendous blessing. Last night when John brought Zane back, Amanda went on the porch to meet him. John came onto the porch, reached out, hugged her and said "I miss you." I thought it was the sweetest thing he had done in a long time. When Amanda came in I asked if she had hugged him, and she said no he hugged me. She misses her "daddy" even if she doesn't say so. She has been mad at him for abandoning her. He is the only dad she has ever known and this has been hard on her.

John took Zane to his moms to spend the night Saturday, and then he spent the night with Mary. I was a little perturbed by that and just don't get it. But at least he didn't spend the night with her while he had Zane, that is a start.

I am off to my doctor's appt. I had contractions over the weekend so I am anxious to see if I am past a one and a half. My cousin's daughter (okay so it is the daughter of her ex-husband--but she raised her so we still claim her) is due any minute also. It will be interesting to see who delivers first!! My aunt can't really come here to see my baby until her "great-grandchild" is born. More later.
