The Anticipation of New Life

Today is a very exciting day. Even though it may appear to be a regular Monday, wet and dreary as per usual on the wet West Coast, it's actually a very special day of anticipation. My bestest friend Jen is pregnant and has been for 9 months. Her baby is due later this week. So while we've had a full 9 months to prepare for the big day, nothing can prepare one for the excitement one feels when the labour begins and in a matter of days, perhaps hours, perhaps minutes, a brand new life will begin. Nobody knows if it's a boy or a girl but there are so many people eagerly anticipating hearing this babe's first breath, first cry, and seeing the joy of the new Mom and Dad as they hold their beloved bundle for the first time in this, our world. It's amazing how one can love this wee babe even though it hasn't even arrived yet. I can't wait to meet the little one and I wish Mom and babe all the best for the big arrival! Love you guys!!
