Where is Little Squirrel?

Well, due date came and went and no sign of Little Squirrel. Guess she's going for "fashionably late?" Ah, well, she has to come out sometime. If not, we're coming in after you ;).

APRIL FOOL'S - is today the day?

 It's Sunday morning, April 1, 2012 at 7:43 AM (CST)     

 As of Friday, March 30th, this is what Mommy has to report:

"Ok, doc says 1 1/2 cm dilated (I think she threw that 1/2 cm in there to make me feel better) and 90% effaced. Scheduled another appointment for next week, but she said hopefully I won't need it :)"

I'm due on April 6th.  Perhaps I should trick Mommy and Daddy and come TODAY.  Then I would always be their little APRIL FOOL.

That rocking chair sitting in the middle of the field is like all that empty space between NOW and when I finally decide to leave this warm nest... filled with a large expanse of anticipation and hope.  But, don't worry folks, I'll come when I'm ready to come.

Love,
 Little Squirrel

QUESTIONS FOR THE GUESTS ..... Getting the News???

HOW DID YOU GET THE NEWS ABOUT LAURA AND TODD HAVING A BABY????

TO MY UNBORN CHILD

For You, My Unborn Child


by Louise C. Taylor

You, my unborn child
Bring me hope and love
Bring me peace and joy
I dream of gazing
On your beautiful face
You have your daddy's thick hair
And our blue eyes
Your nose is so small
And who would have thought
That you'd have freckles already
I dream of holding you close
Watching as your tiny fingers
Grasp at everything in sight
Listening as you sing the
Contented song only an infant knows

CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU MY CHILD


I can't wait



I can't wait to meet you,
I can't wait to see,
I can't wait to feel all the happiness you
will bring.

I have such big plans and dreams for you,
I will sacrifice anything to make your own
dreams come true.
You will be happy and healthy and free,
So baby I love you .
I can't wait until the day we meet.
