“My day seemed bright and full of joy When I learned I would have a baby boy. No more days would I sleep in. Painting the nursery, had to begin... To prepare the nest for my male guest. Nine months went by incredibly fast. Before I knew it, I was in labor, at last. Away to the hospital, then he came... Crying weak, and surprising us just the same...
