Auntie Jenna.

Why Hello Auntie Jenna! I would say Aunt J but then you'd sound like a character from the help so not sure I want that to happen. But Congrads! Mazel Tov!(Hoping its appropriate in this situation) Vazhthukal(this is how you say congrads in tamil in case you were curious..thought id mix it up a bit you kno) I dont blame you for staring at her ever since you sent me the picture Ive been staring at her as well (# confessions).
But I can see why its killing you to not be able to see her in person I would want to just hold her all the time she is so darn cute. And I like Hannah as a name too because you know Jenna...Sabrina...Hannah. Yea. I could rap like this for hours. But anyways do send me more pictures if you have them I would love to see them! And yea birth is really weird man its all like where did she come from and how is she real. yea.
 Well on my end finally got through my first week of work even though it feels like ive been working for about 3 months. Not that the week itself was long it just seems like last weekend was legit forever ago. But its been good so far Im only in training which is practically like school because its just class all day. The first day went really well it was nice seeing/ talking to everyone after a year and I even met some new grads. After that it got a little meh because people went into the whole.. I have my friends now and will only talk them mode really fast. And while I do have friends I feel like im dont belong to any set group and am just testing waters in many. Im sure ill find a group once I know what office im in for the year since Ill have to eat lunch with the grads and whatnot.
And while I would complain about the whole school aspect of it since Im learning all day and then I come home and study i realize its actually better than working for real since theres never any guarentee there. But in terms of who we like..on the first day I saw this new grad who was in my calc class freshman year of college so that was pretty crazy. I dont dislike too many people although I must say that girl Jenna who was an intern..I totally stared at her from across the room today and she made no effort to make eye contact and smile..so yea. Haha anyways tell me more baby stories and Shabbat Shalom!

Auntie Jenna?

Hi!

How is work? I want to hear all the details! Who do we like? Who do we not like? How goes the training?

I finally have an answer to "what's new" because of the adorable little baby girl. Her name is Hannah Sophia. And I'm in love with her. She has this little button nose and I'm so jealous of everyone who gets to touch it and kiss it while I watch through video chat. But at least I have that. She looks so snuggly all cuddled in her multiple blankets (something about regulating temperature). Birth is crazy. Like one minute she's inside a person and now she is a person. Very very weird. Even my sister says it's surreal.
Her new hat with a cute little bow
Her hebrew name, in case you're curious is Sara (pronounced Suh-Ruh) Chaya (pronounced with the 'ch' back of your throat sound) This is what it looks like in hebrew: שרה חיה. Chaya and the 'H' name (Hannah) are after my grandmother and Sophia/Sara are for Max's grandmother. I can't wait to go meet her. I think I'm going in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile I spend all day staring at her. She's just the cutest thing.

How do you feel about Auntie Jenna? I kinda like Auntie J but it seems a little too "stop trying to make 'fetch' happen." People have been calling me Auntie Jenna or Auntie Jen though, which I am happy with. People keep joking about Tanta- which is yiddish for aunt and also disgusting and I will beat them if they call me that.
