the end is nigh!

Elena, are you ready to receive less attention?

I hope you don't think it's a lack of affection

(your dad had to learn...)

Dad's final is over for now, a deep sigh, (you know, school stuff)

We're now ready for baby, the end is nigh!

Elena, are you ready for your first little brother?

Don't worry, sweet girl, you will still have your mother (and dad)

I will not forget you, I'll still take you out

to the pool, park, and playgroup--our regular route.

Dear Elena, Mom's ready.

I hope you are too. 

But please do not worry,

I'll always love you.

P.S. This week, my dear friend Jorelle threw me a baby shower with wonderful friends.
I am grateful for our friendship--I felt so special! :)
