See, I can feel her moving around. According to everything I've read, how active the baby is in the womb is a good indicator of how active the baby will be after birth. We're going to have a mellow baby. And I need that.
I'm getting too old to run around after a little one. I've always been too busy to run around after a little one. I have mellow life. Such is the life of a writer. The imagination is part of being a writer, too.
These days, I'm dreaming about what this new daughter of ours is going to be like. I wonder if she's going to be a ginger like her father or a brunette like I can be...when her father isn't convincing me to go black and blonde. I wonder if she'll be all creative or athletic. I wonder if she'll be musical. I wonder all kinds of things about the life we have in store for her and with her.
As a child of ours, she'll have to like s'mores. As a child of mine she probably won't have food allergies. As his daughter, may she love to sleep...all through the night...and take naps.
I have a long way to go. And though I would love to sit back and imagine, I have to turn that imagination to more important endeavors. We have a big future to build. And it isn't going to happen with me just sitting around imagining. Dreamers have to be doers, too. We have that covered.
I hope she'll be born perfect and not too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you dear.
