Waiting for Emilie
Last fall, our daughter, Rebecca, informed us that she was pregnant and that her due date would be May 10. Well, with less than 30 minutes left on the 10th of May, it looks like this baby will soon be officially overdue.
During the pregnancy, further tests were ordered and we were happy to learn, not only that some potential genetic problems were not present, but that this grandchild would be a girl. For some time now, we've known that her name will be Emilie (French spelling)!
While our Outreach Canada teammates are meeting this week in spring retreat at The Firs Conference Centre in Bellingham Washington, Dianne and I are in Sudbury with Rebecca and her husband, Max. As a part of "Team Hamel", we are all set to swing into action as soon as Emilie indicates that she's ready.
So what is a "grandfather-to-be" doing as the due date passes? Watching an NHL playoff game and blogging away. Waiting for Emilie -- we can hardly wait to welcome her into our family! GG
