Waiting Game

The crib has been assembled, the baby clothes are in the bureau, the books are in the bookshelf and the nursery room is ready.
My daughter has a couple more days of work and then she’s off on her maternity leave.
Now it’s the waiting game, and I’m sure she’s anxious to get the show on the road.
I know her mother and I were feeling that way the last few days of September in 1977. As I took Maria to the hospital on Oct 2, I remember thinking – well this is going to be a special day for all of us – and it was.
Let’s just hope Teddy doesn’t make us wait too much longer.
