On the Day You Were Due

December 30, 2008
Due dates are usually a good 'guess' from the docs, but in our situation, we are completely certain when our son was conceived. Somehow due dates put a deadline on babies and tell us when they are supposed to be here, ready or not...we set our babies up to meet deadlines from the very beginning and this is the first one. I'll admit I felt uncertain when you didn't come on your due date, even though you didn't have any say about when the date was set. I know you will come to see us when you are ready and we will be ready when the day comes, baby boy. On the day that the doctor said you were due, here's what we did together:
  • blueberry muffins, fruit and turkey bacon for breakfast
  • a few hours at work with stories from your uncle Jack
  • we walked Lou at Indian Steele Park with Granny and Grandpa
  • the temperature outside was at least 70 degrees
  • listened to lovebirds sing at the park
  • rode the light rail to Mill Avenue and listened to lullabies along the way
  • drank a decaf gingerbread latte
  • browsed mill avenue
  • ate delicious fish tacos made by your mommy
  • watched the Suns win their game against Memphis

The adventures are just beginning..:)
