FINAL DAY OF SPETEMBER 2011----WOW!!!
Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2011 8:12 amGOOD MORNING TO ALL!
It seems so impossible that September is about to close. In fact, it seems so impossible that this entire year of 2011 is winding down. As I have said before, it is a cruel trick that when the human mind wishes for longer and longer days, and longer and longer years, and longer and longer decades, that time speeds up and things are over in a quick blink. Where are those halcyon, long summer days, and long school months, and interminable winters of our youth?? Where are my babies? They simply cannot be adults yet, and yet.....
Sigh. Morning coffee is hot and tastes good as I am watching the sun come out from behind the earlier clouds. The temperature is warm enough to allow me to have the door and windows open. Unfortunately, the leaves here seem to be falling off before they are becoming the brilliant colors I love to view. The smell of fall is in the air.
This mornig Mandy and I will go to her hospital for a sort of stress test ordered by the doctor yesterday to see how the unborn baby might react to the labor stress that is so close now. I am wondering, if that test means stimulating the uterus to contract, that if perhaps, once started, they won't be able to stop it. I think maybe we should take her hospital bag with us!
Joe will be able to come and stay now until the baby is born and for a couple of weeks after the birth, so all is ready. Mandy says she has set her mind to begin labor today sometime, so that tomorrow, October 1st, the due date, will indeed be the birth date! If she is as determined as her mother was the day before she was born, Mandy should begin labor today!
Geese flying over in larger and larger flocks doing their goosey fall thing make a joyful cacaphony to add to the fall airs. Off I go for a walk with Molly before we leave for the hospital. Stay tuned!
