You ladies are great.

Thanks for the sympathy about the shopping.

When the student called me a few days ago, I asked her if she needed anything. She said, "a sign."

My younger Sis is into Feng Shui. She suggested a photo frame made up of the earth element -- ceramic or wood but no metal. The no metal was hard to find.

I found what I needed at Hallmark -- great tip, Curious.
Then when I got to the hospital my student was sleeping. I left a note with the package and talked to the nurses.

One nurse explained something about water breaking and protecting the placenta -- stuff I didn't want to know about. I choose to limit the medical information I pour into my brain.

I hear you about buying a different kind of present. Really I do.
But I didn't listen. The picture frame felt right for the mother to have.
I'll bring magazines next time I go.
Yeah, I know that I am a goof ball. Sorry.
