Nine months of growing and changing. A crisp, new bookshelf nearly empty holds What to Expect When You're Expecting. A to-do list that seems never ending.
Waiting for baby.
An empty nursery that has been shuffled to perfection time and time again. Five jars of pickles...gone. Pampers, Johnson's baby lotion, and cuddly blankets.
Waiting for baby.
Maternity clothes shopping mixed with caramel popcorn cravings. Sub plan piles compliment the paper clips no longer reachable on the floor. Flat shoes and ponytails.
Waiting for baby.
Doctor appointment and heart rate and contraction monitors. Tender moments between husband and wife; pushing for hours.
Waiting for baby.
It's a boy! Crazed rush in a tiny hospital room. A first kiss and whisper of "I love you" exchanged from a mom to her brand new baby.
A love that's undefinable.
A baby who is more than perfect.
A new little family is complete.
No longer left...
Waiting for baby.
