I'm waiting...and waiting...and waiting...
We got here over 2 weeks ago.
Our daughter is expecting her second child.
"Due date" was over 1 week ago.
OK, it's a girl, so I guess you can't expect her to show up on time,
but COME ON!
;-)

If nothing happens between now and Wednesday, they'll induce.
I'm ready.
Beyond ready.
C'mon kid?
Will ya?

1. My dear trof!
You're ready?

How about your daughter?

I'm sure she's beyond ready too!

My first child was born two weeks past her due date....

Those were, without exception, the damned longest two weeks of my life!

Hang in there.....your granddaughter will arrive!

And you won't have to lift a finger, or even go into labor, to see it happen!

:wtf:

:hi:

7. I admit that my daughter is having a little tougher time than me.
Yesterday she said "I am so DAMNED tired of waddling! This is the last one!
I will NEVER WADDLE AGAIN!"

3. Take her on a realllllllllly Long bike ride!
That's what worked for me! Actually it was the really big seafood dinner, but I wouldn't recommend that.

Good luck to you! How exciting trof. :hug:

9. I check the board from time to time.
Been kinda busy with the 'daddy-do' list.
Fixed the back gate.
Hung curtains.
Re-hung curtains cause the first one didn't 'look right'.
"Look, dad...I'm trying to deal with a pregnant brain."
Fixed the sprinkler system.
Fixed Jack's bike seat.
He's my grandson.

Oh...and I'm in charge of hanging up cordless phones so they'll recharge.

11. I'm curious...
I'm sorry your waiting and all, but whatever happened to calling you parents after the baby is born?

Inducing is scary.

15. We wanted to give her a break beforehand.
We also have a 5 year old grandson who can be a handful at times.
Our plan was to get here a few days to a week before the girl-child-yet-to-be-named arrived and take over the household stuff.

Miz t. is cook, laundress, and housekeeper; and I'm grilling cook, handyman, gofer, chauffeur, and you-name-it.
We're a hell of a team.
;-)

And we're not barging in. It's all very much appreciated by mom and dad, I can assure you.

12. Hang in there, Grandpa

You know we gals are sometimes a bit late...maybe Jack

would enjoy spending some more time with you. Glad to

read your post. Been wondering if all was well.

14. Oh sweety, I was born 3 weeks after my due date!
I don't think they let it go that long these days. I was in the oven so long I was nearly 9 lb.
