waiting for baby
my sister's baby was due a week ago. not uncommon for first babies to be late. it's perfectly fine. but it's driving us a little crazy waiting for baby.
i'm so anxious and i can only imagine how my sister feels!
i'm going about my business as normal as possible. i hope benny doesn't decide to come while i'm at work since it doesn't look like i'll be able to get anyone to cover. ugh. everytime i make plans with friends, i feel the need to say "i reserve the right to cancel without notice in the event that my sister goes into labor."
she doesn't need me there for the birth. in fact, i'm not even allowed in the room. her husband and dula will be there. but i'm excited to be there right after. to meet benny as soon as possible. and help my sis if she needs anything from me.
being the closest family to her, i get special honors in the process. i get to make the call to the grandparents to announce the birth of their grandson. i get to call my sister's friend to start the chain of announcements. i get to be the first family to hold him. to kiss him. to meet the little guy. it's pretty awesome, really.
and i don't want to wait anymore! benny, benny! come out and play!
