The Waiting Game

Well - today is the day you were supposed to arrive - June 1st - and we are still waiting. Everything is ready. I've been here with your Mom for a month now, since the baby shower.
We are settled into Maria and Israel's house in Savanna, Weston. We have gathered and assembled everything we think you might possibly need. Your grandfather and uncle and your great-grandmother, Nina, are all here with us and your great aunt and uncle are in Orlando, on call. Your Uncle Randy has practised with the stroller and is now fully certified to take you out for a walk. Can't think of much we might have missed.

Your mother is doing fine - just more than ready to get to know you. Her suitcase has been travelling around with us for the past week or two. All systems are go - any time you're ready....

As Dr. Seuss says - all we can do is to sit, sit, sit, sit. And we do not like it, not one little bit.
