I never posted on Friday..hah it was the Friday of Spring Break. I went home to hang out with family; I enjoyed time with my boyfriend's parents as well as my brother and his expectant wife and their almost five year old son. I realized then that it wouldn't be long until there was a sweet new baby girl that I get to be the proud Aunt of coming into the world what seemed then, two weeks ago, like any day now. I waited and waited and tried not to bug the expecting parents since I knew they were just as inquisitive and uncertain of when the show would start as I was.
We joked at her baby shower that she would skip the 28th which was her due date and would be born on March the 29th to be the same date as her mother who was born on April 29th. We laughed and shrugged it off thinking for sure she'd be here before then.
Wow this week has been so exciting.
On Monday the 28th at 9pm I got on a bus to go see if I could hang out and see some of the action. I left there this morning at 6am> From 9:53pm last night until sometime around 1am this morning I was timing Theda Jane's contractions which started at 10 minutes apart to between 6-4 minutes apart. She called the hospital and they told her to come in so they got everything together, jumped in the car and the car started having trouble that related to the anti theft system and the starter. Dj, after a great deal of frustration considering the circumstance was able to disable the theft system, start the car and get his family of three to the hospital to introduce their fourth member.
I could not stay to enjoy the moment since I had to make it back to State College before 5:30pm as I have a fundraiser dinner at a restaurant to help get what we need to fill the bags for the food bank! I scheduled this a month ago, I am the host, and I cannot miss it. As bad as I want to, I just cannot. I’m excited about the dinner. I have been looking forward to it and now all I can think of is meeting Ruby June.
I plan to be leaving State College before 1pm tomorrow afternoon to go meet this sweet little girl that started coming last night that made my family one person bigger.I think it’s time to nap now. I’m beat.
