So, Grace, tomorrow is your big day. Your papa and I will call the hospital first thing in the morning and they will (hopefully) tell us to come right in and start the induction process. They use an IV drip and something like a cricket bat, we think. Anyway, we don't know how long it will take, but we can't wait to meet you in person. In the meantime, we've got our waiting-for-baby kit, complete with distractions (movies, books, cards, computer), snacks (fruit, meat, cheese, cookies, pasta with browned butter and sauteed sweet peppers -- the usual), and comfy clothes and shoes for pacing the halls.
We know you like your current home, and you're afraid you won't get ice cream again anytime soon, but come on! It's sunny in Seattle -- trust us, that's awesome. So you have to come out before the rain comes back. Or you can talk.
Your bed is ready, fun blankets and cuddly socks await, and there's a giant stack of diapers with your name on it. And there are a lot of people counting on you. So step up, take the stage, and let the birthday party begin!
Love,
Mama & Papa
