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.
