Today
We’re sitting around and counting, and waiting. Emma is calm, as always. I am calm, for a change.
All the details are taken care of: I’ve packed the car, made the breakfast, dealt with all the last minute emails telling work folks I won’t be in for a while, fed Baci and called the dog sitter. There’s nothing now but to wait. I had no idea this part would be so relaxed and drawn out. If it weren’t for our little data chart here with its accompanying prescribed action plan, I would’ve driven Emma to the hospital right after her water broke, which was at 2am—5 hours ago. We’re not even at the point where we’re supposed to call the doc just yet.
So here we are, listening to NPR news on the laptop, counting and waiting. Calm and happy. Before long, we’ll be en route.

It looks like a beautiful day to welcome a new family member. We’re all waiting patiently. Love to you both. Remeber that old saying, ‘Today is the start of the rest of your life”. Enjoy the moment.
