The Waiting Place

Now that BBH is full term, CGB has been reading aloud to help her get accustomed to his voice and so that there might be something consistent and comforting waiting for her outside in the real world that she'll remember from the womb. We always end the night with "Guess How Much I Love You" and Dr. Seuss' "Oh The Places You'll Go!"


With only 15 more days until the due date...CGB and I can't help but feel particularly in tune with what Dr. Seuss' described as the "waiting place":

...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the rain to come, or the mail to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.

Tomorrow, we'll be at 38 weeks!
Below are some guesses for when BBH will arrive:

Early:
9/15 Great Aunt Lynn
9/16 Great Uncle Bill
9/17 Aunt Leah
9/18 First Cousin Bryce
9/19 Great Grandpa Beltz

On The Dot:
9/20 Great Grandma Park, Uncle Josh

Late:
9/21 Great Aunt Julie
9/22 Grandpa Geoffrey, Aunt Jasmine
9/23 CPB, (Grandma Sarah)
9/24 CGB, Grandma Donna
9/25 (Grandma Sarah), Uncle Andrew
9/26 Grandpa John
9/27 Great Aunt Betsy
9/28 Aunt Clare
10/2 Aunt Annisa

**Now updated for all immediate family. Seems like the majority of the family thinks BBH will be a later gator. My own mother has a hunch that we'll have another Park family b-day pairing. Two of my sisters have back to back birthdays in March and my mother and youngest brother have back to back birthdays in December. Since I'm the 24th, she's thinking BBH will hit the 23rd or 25th. Everyone is just waiting!
