Baby, Baby From the Sea...

So, I have mentioned the awesomeness of my sister before, right?  Well - here is her latest stroke of genius in the form of a poem she wrote for our little baby last night.  I think it's brilliant.  Look out folks, she is the female Shel Silverstein (with a hint of Dr. Seuss)!  This baby is soooo lucky to have an auntie like her.

Baby baby from the sea,

I cannot wait to meet you

And though you’ll swim among the fish

Dry land is where I'll greet you

You curl and croon in your watery bed

With no haste to wake up

You’re warm in there and quite well fed

Your eyes are tightly shut

But baby baby from the sea

Id love to see your face

And hold your tiny hand in mine

And share my sweet embrace

I think of what you’ll look like

When you make your great debut

With tight blond curls or maybe brown

And eyes two oceans blue

See baby baby from the sea

I wonder of you often

And think of who you’ll grow to be

Knowing well that I’ll be smitten

So brave you’ve made it on that sea

9 months within your arbor

dizzy with curiosity

as you make your way to harbor

so baby baby from the sea

just know that when you’re ready

you have the love of family

to get those sea legs steady

41 weeks today and no sign of baby - but she is happy, healthy, and mama feels fantastic so we'll just wait!  Tick, tock, tick tock...

Love,
