Waiting for Jack

The New Garth Brooks Song (click for the link)


The clock and the fan are competing for my attention in the hushed living room. The click, click sound of the Hunter ceiling fan and the rhythmic tick of the oversized clock above my TV are the only sounds tonight indicating there is life in this house. Pawpaws stretches and sighs loudly, breaking the silence.


Nichole is ready to deliver any second, so I'm in the waiting game now. My bag for the hospital is packed and includes camera, kleenex and of course pad and pen should this thing run long. I'm ready!
Emma is ecstatic at the knowledge of a new brother, but she doesn't know what she's in for. I'll have to lavish her with extra attention during this transition. I think there are going to be many weekends with grandma!


I guess I'll call it a night with my phone expectantly by my side.
