Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I shopped with my younger daughter and we had lunch.  Three days overdue and feeling it.  She goes in this afternoon and they might break her membrane, as she's four centimeters dilated.  Something is going to happen soon!  I admit to being nervous.  Now I understand how anxious my mother would get.  We know too much and have too many stories swirling around in our heads.  I've stocked up on snacks and goodies for my grandson, so he has a good time when he's with us.  We've promised him a big stuffed animal when the baby is born.  To celebrate, I've told him.  He's three, but you can't put much past him.  I have no idea how he will react.  I remember not being pleased at all with my baby brother.  He was a boring blob who was no fun at all.  Later, he was a lot of fun, but I wouldn't have believed it if my parents had suggested that at the time.  I wanted ALL the attention.  But later I would change my mind about that as well!
