16 Days & Counting

Wow. Just wow. Baby's due date is just 16 days away. And, I've been wondering ...

Will she come late, making a grand entrance? Will she make a surprise early appearance? And, what will she look like? Will she have Traci's cheek bones? Will she have my thick crease across her forehead? Surely she'll have dimples, won't she? Will she be dark or fair? Tall - of course, she'll be tall. Maybe she'll be thoughtful & compassionate like her Mom. Maybe she'll be a sentimental slob like her Dad. Maybe she'll like to play with dolls, or maybe she'll rather play with army men in the mud. Maybe she'll love to ride her bike with playing cards in the spokes. Maybe she'll enjoy pulling the dogs tail. Whatever she'll be, we can hardly wait to know her. Whatever she'll be, we can hardly wait to love her more.

Her nursery is ready. Her bed is made. The stroller & car seat sit in the corner of her room. A pediatrician has been picked. Her Mom's hospital bag is packed. And, we wait.
