Dear Diary -

and then there were three....



The day finally arrived!

We finally have a baby giraffe!



Yes, I know, 5 other zoos have had baby giraffes during the time I have waited for this one, but I didn't watch any of them. I was holding out for April. Of course, back in February I didn't know it would ACTUALLY be in April. I freaking worked hard for this one!

Thankfully my husband wakes up at stupid:thirty in the morning to go to the gym and he awoke to tons of messages telling him to get me up, lol. (It was about 4:20am here in Los Angeles) Amazingly, I had just woken up about 4am and checked the feed then went back to sleep - right before it happened (of course).

What a crazy journey it has been though. The ups and downs, sleepless nights and all the time spent watching and waiting. While it was indeed maddening, it was madness with a lot of love.

But, it's finally over. I can have my life back. I'm not really sure what life is like from here on out. How do I just go on now? One thing is for certain - I am done with live cams - no more of that shit!

Thank you to all of you who followed along with this mess I got myself into, looking back at Facebook a year from now will be entertaining at least.

As far as a name goes - if it's a girl she should be named Patience - because goddamn if we didn't all freaking need it!

Congrats to Animal Adventure Park, April, and all the #Aprilviewcrew - We did it! ;)
