So Alison's due date is tomorrow, June 1st. It has been such a fun exciting process for all of us as we prepared ourselves for auntie-hood, uncle-hood, grand parent-hood and parenthood. I cannot believe these nine months are already past...and we are waiting any minute for Caedmon my precious nephew to make his grand entrance. Alison and Kurt came over last night and we did all we could to help this labor along....walked....got golden spoon (supposedly ice cream helps with labor) and then walked some more. They slept through the night....we received no phone call....so the wait goes on! I am eagerly anticipating the arrival of my nephew...I can hardly wait to hold him in my arms, to hear him cry, to watch him sleep soundly, to bundle him up on a cold night, to get him in his angel gear and take him to his first Angels Baseball game...so much to look forward to with this little man!!! Becoming an aunt is like nothing I have ever experienced before....I love this little man, even though I have never met him. What a joy it is going to be to watch him grow up...take his first steps, go to elementary school, high school, college, date and get married to a wonderful, Godly woman! What an honor it will be to have be a part of his journey....from day 1!!!Please keep Ali and Kurt in your prayers as these next days are going to be painful, emotional, joyful, exhausting, and rewarding all at the same time! Pray for health and sleep for all 3 of them...mommy, daddy and baby Caedmon!
Caedmon, I cannot wait to meet you!!!
Love, Auntie Em
I remember this feeling, and I remember the anxious hours as I knew my nephew was born, but I had NO way to get to see him, and then the joy of meeting him. I am jealous for you to know that feeling (not the waiting part but the meeting him part!).
ReplyDeleteAnd boy oh boy is he in for a fantastic auntie, or 2 or 3.
