Waiting for Baby

Dear Baby fairy,

So, this is my way of making time pass as I wait to find out that my best friend, Jenn, has had her baby boy. She went into labour last night, and I was able to see her at around midight for a short while, but soon went home to wait for the call that the baby had come. Then, Jenn got sent home for the night, and so once again I was waiting to find out if she had gone back to the hospital. I just got a message from her Dad saying that they were at the hospital and that they were thinking the baby would be born around midnight. So, now I'm trying to decide if I should go to the hospital now, or wait until the baby is born. The problem is that the only way for me to get there is by cab, which I already did once last night. It's just so hard not knowing what is happening! I can't wait to meet my little godson :)

But, I'm trying to rationalize here. If I go now, I'm not going to be able to see her, because she could be in delivery, or pushing, or who knows what. And, since she's likely been awake for about 32 hours, I'm sure she'll want to sleep once the baby is finally born. So, it's probably best to just wait until morning to go and see the baby, or at least until they call me. There. I think that's what I will do. It's just so hard to decide what to do when it's the middle of the night, because there aren't as many options left in the way of buses and everything. I guess I'll just have to be patient and hope she's not in labour for too much longer. I just hope she knows that I'm thinking of her and am there in spirit!

Signed,

anxiously waiting,

the fairy godmother. (insert soon to be taken picture of me and baby!)

p.s. I just want to be the first to wish Baby Stevenson a happy birthday! (will it be September 2nd or 3rd?)
