dear wee grub,
today is
your due date.
i didn't think
that i would
make it
to this date
without you making
an early entrance
(my mother was
early for all of us)
but here
i am.
i am anxious.
i am not
really in a rush
for you to arrive
because i know
it's up to you...
this is the point
where i relinquish
any control
of my schedule
to you...
i am a little
scared...
not so much
of the pain
but the unknown.
of what is to come.
labor and birth
and you...
it's not
something
that
i can really
imagine.
your oma
is here
and waiting
for you to arrive.
i think
she is a little
impatient
because
she wants to spend
as much time
with you
as she can...
so don't be
too late
okay?
not sure
how grub feels...
he'll have
to tell you
about that...
but usually
we feel the same
way about
such things.
good luck in there...
i know it's
gonna be
just as tough
a journey.
for you
as it will be
for me.
see you on
the outside.
love,
your mom
