Waiting For A Baby's Arrival

         The due date for the latest baby boy in our family was yesterday. Still no baby. The mother is fine. I guess the baby will be here when he's ready. Maybe he knows he has two sisters, age 6 and 3 waiting for him. He's better off where he is. The rest of us are getting antsy. We want him to be here already.

         There's only one other boy, two, and he's a cousin of the other children's mothers. A little odd family spacing there. There's another baby due in November, but we don't know if it's a boy or a girl. That one will have only one older sister, age two.

         These are lucky kids. They have gazillions of toys at their own homes, toys at the grandparents homes (divorced, so two sets of toys), and some have toys at Great Grandpa's. They all have aunts and uncles and friends who spoil them rotten. I'm kind of jealous because I never had it half that good. I hope it makes them better, smarter, and more self-confident. And I never had a wonderful aunt, or great aunt like me!
