Full Moon of Growing
Gabe is an earth day baby. To have a grandchild born on earthday is auspicious. His generation will bear the full brunt of the policy decisions now taking place in homes, cities, states and the nation, in fact, all over the globe. We have the chance to mitigate and in some instances reverse the earth damaging human footprint, but if we don’t, Gabe and his demographic cohort had better learn to swim early, though he resides in Denver, the Mile High city, so ocean rise would have to get severe to reach his front door.
He’s in a level 2 nursery with oxygen, an IV for fluids and possibly anti-biotics. Kate says if he has trouble it will come within the first 24 hours. She doesn’t think he will. He weighed 6 lbs, 8 oz and is 19 inches long. Lean and long. Just like his dad. This is a good weight for a 35 week baby.
Kate spent this morning in whirling dervish mode, controlled but rapid, making phone calls and deciding how to wrap up stuff around here so she can fly out tomorrow. I’ll stay through Monday AM when I’ll drive out in order to be there in time for the bris on Wednesday.
We had a solid rain last night and though the temps are not as high today we’re still warm enough to encourage growth. Several of the seeds I planted on Sunday have already sprouted. I’m not sure what will happen to them left to their own devices for three days, they’re still vulnerable in these first few days, just like Gabe. Got to think on it.
