Today is D-day... here's a little poem of instruction for the little mite, for whenever it might make it's appearance.
Those of you who've read my latest post will get some of the references more than than others. WARNING: SMUSHY ALERT!!!
.
Listen up
.
The longest wait
Is almost at an end
You, squirmy home-grown friend
are near ready to descend
.
Shiny plastic stuff we’ve bought
And soft things for newest skin
Pastel things for swaddling in
When elastic sleep is caught
.
A starling chick on beaded grass
Distracted yesterday
A while of trials enacted
Rang back to something like ok
.
Candy sweet in flashing darkness
With a Chemical Brothers beat
You dancing in your seat
Kick at ribs with tiny feet
.
Meeting you will be a moment
But before that there’s a bit
Of uncertain flight to flit
Let’s keep close and safe through it

Titus - really hoping the gas will work alright, worked when I was a kid at the dentist... nothin happenin here as yet so twill probably be after fair city now... or sometime in the next two weeks - ain't nature amusing?!
Acorn - It took that long to read? So profound were my words that an aeon worth of dust built up in the meantime? tks a trillion :-)
It takes a lot to soften my iron heart, this is just so beautiful.. really really, very much so.
Good luck with all the things, thinking of you, and can't wait to see the obligatory pictures (close ups of tiny fingers etc) :-D oh, and the gas.. you'll love it!
Whoops ... that was intended to mean that I got some dust in my eye, because they seemed to be watering up a bit. So you made two people cry ... woohoo!
Thanks Cats - hope they've plenty of it!! Had an appointment today and they don't think I'll be needing it any time very soon anyway! Another week of peace before the madness starts.
Acorn - so I gathered :-) - we're just watching ye're big boss Obama speeching to the nation here.
Lovely lovely poem - it goes in the baby book, right?
