Love Child

My little sister lost her mucus plug today.  That can only mean one thing,
kiddo...you're on the way out, ready or not. You don't know the extent of
it yet but you've made quite an entrance into this world in the last nine
months, without even being visible.  You've proven to your mom that true
love can show up at her door on a motorcylce, carrying a bouquet
of flowers.  She just needed to be patient and believe.  You've showed
a Southern family that beautiful weddings can be organized in a
few months instead of years.  You've brought two sets of parents
together who actually nurture each other in many ways as first-time
grandparents. And then there's me... your aunt. You've cost me a
fortune in clothes and toys. Not your fault, by any means.  You've
brought a youthful beat into my heart as I have awaited your arrival.
I really don't mind if you are a frilly girl or all boy.  
I just can't wait to know you.
