That word "already" implies a great deal, before a specified or implied past, present, or future time. We are delighted that the baby arrived safely, shocked that they delivered her on their own, and in awe of these waves of love and affection moving through our hearts and minds. Two parents already in love with their daughter caught her and welcomed her into their family. Our granddaughter made her entrance into her Daddy's waiting embrace on the bathroom floor of their home. The baby came fast and furious, opting to forego midwifery's arrival and instead make her appearance before any help had arrived. They had a plan!! The thing we newly-minted grandparents know all too well is that we can't plan for everything. Our son and daughter-in-law planned for a home water birth with the support and expertise of midwives. We have seen more ultrasound photos of her sweet little hands, feet and pouty little lips than all her aunt and uncles' in utero pictures combined! We love her already.įinally, on the evening of April 12, with one text, we learned she arrived! Listening to our firstborn son describe the birth of his first while hearing her precious newborn cries in the background is a moment we won't soon forget. Pondering and praying one morning, I heard myself whisper, "I love her already". Anticipation of her arrival intensified every day that first week in April.
She received her eviction notice but seemed particularly content in her womb.
As her due date came and went, the waiting game began. We've been on stand-by for the birth of our first grandchild for what feels like forever.
