New Baby

It won't be long and Baby Mouser will be arriving. I am so happy that this baby is going in to such a loving home, with two totally devoted parents. She is such a lucky little girl. I watched Shelby tonight, and what a joy that little one is, she is so busy. She would say from time to time today, "you know Jessica has a baby growing in her tummy", we were looking at old photos, one was with Greg and Jessica standing by the Miata, when Greg took Jessica to a fancy dance during college. They both look so young, as if they don't now. They probably never thought of all the future happenings in their new found love. This will be one of the most exciting and tiring events in their whole life. You never realize how tired you are when you wake up every night at 2AM. But it goes so darn fast. Just soak in all of the wonders of being a new parent, take joy and wonder in all things. Those little feet, that small bottom, tiny little fingers, sweet little nose. Watching at night to make sure the little chest rises up and down. Bending down to feel her little breaths. That wonderful sweet newborn cry, and that also wonderful sound of her silent breathing. I envy Greg and Jessica, they are starting on a new adventure, one that I completed years ago. May the journey be wondrous for them all.
