2 Days and Counting...

Okay... it was the count-down and now it's the count-up! Two days over-due! My sweet daughter thinks she is large and in charge but lil' Miss Samantha is doing an excellent job of hangin' in the hood! So...who has the control issues now? Another little type-A in our midst? Hmmm...already typing her personality? Haley did 4 miles on the Eliptical and 50 jumping jacks but to no avail! She's now entertaining all kinds of crazy notions of "bring it on" potions. It's amazing all the "do it yourself" induction remedies out there. And none sound all that appealing to me! C'mon, Samantha....Grandma wants to go to the BEACH!

Does an expiration date count?

Today was supposed to be THE day. My daughter Haley is due today with our first grandchild. We've had it planned for months that she would deliver on or before her due date because both Haley and I are "on-time" kind of people. Usually even a bit early. Why wouldn't our dear Samantha Grace follow suit? There was even a full moon this past week-end. We reasoned that the gravitational pull would do its work and we'd all have our "special delivery" right on time. Haley exclaimed earlier today that she's reached her "expiration" date and she's had enough. Ohhh how that girl makes me laugh! I don't think that Samantha will grow moldy if she takes a few more days but I do think her mother may if she doesn't make an appearance pretty soon. Jordan, Haley's husband, is just as bad. He wants to "get this show on the road" because he just can't wait to be a Dad. Isn't it funny how God is never in a hurry? This is His little masterpiece that's being knit together in a secret place. All the wishing in the world isn't going to make Samantha appear any sooner than God deems His Timing. Well...Haley and I may be doing our beach walk together this week afterall...

New Beginnings...

How does one start a blog? Why does one start a blog? Is there a right way to start a blog? I've been pondering this for wayyyy too long! I love to write. I love to think and day dream and imagine "what if" so I'm starting a blog. I don't know how but I'm jumping in. I'll get my feet wet and test the waters and if all goes well, I'll be swimming before I know it!
