Hey Eve!

OK, I just got a note from your Mom. You and her went to the doctor today and she had gained 7 pounds. Whoooopeeeee! You are obviously growing, but anyway. That's what you are supposed to do. Your Mom tried to blame it on a cruise! Can you believe that she is blaming your growth on a cruise. Eve, did you even enjoy the cruise? Your Mom tried to make sure she didn't "over-do-it", but did you actually enjoy the whole deal? Anyway, she and your Dad made a couple of decisions today (they can still change their mind!). Your Dad was given the option of "cutting your cord", "giving you your first bath", and "weighing and measuring you"! Pretty cool stuff! Your Dad, being the "brainmaster and protective one" that he is, took everything literal, and didn't really think that would be too cool. I am sure that he was thinking of you and didn't want to "mess" anything up. He's probably afraid he'll "break you". You need to tell him that's not really the case. You are a "tough-guy", right? I got to do all of this stuff for your Mom and she is OK. They don't really actually let you "cut anything". The Doctor and Nurses are right there and hold your hand. The bath deal is way "over-rated". Your Mom was all white and pasty when she was born, actually sort of nasty. The nurses, actually did most of the work and I got to "dry you off". And the weighing and measuring thing is way also wayyyyyy over-rated. By that time, your Dad will be "shaking" sooooo bad that the nurse will probably let him just read the scales. That's the way it was for your Mom. Anyway, send your Dad a message to "suck it up"! Dad, listen, it ain't really ain't that bad. Actually it is pretty cool! Think about it, OK? She won't "break"! Love to everybody!
