THE BIRTH OF MILANI

My dear good friend, I must once again ask for your patience and understanding. Tomorrow, December 14th, is the due date of my new little great-granddaughter, Milani. Now this is a first birth and so the baby could come quickly, on time, or she may not have the baby for another week. The doctor is going to induce labor on the 21st of December if she does not go in before.

The child is very much anticipated. The mother, Sierra (Poppy is what her nickname is), is very healthy and is all prepared for this first child. She is doing a lot of walking and house cleaning, so she is increasing the odds of Milani being born very soon now.  When Poppy goes into labor all of us who live in Atlantic City will be going down to be with her. As you probably realize from my stories, Poppy's mother, my daughter Rebecca, passed away in 2008. I feel that as Poppy's grandmother that I should be by her side while she is in labor, and stay for a few days afterwards to give her a hand. She will be nursing, and I hope to be able to give her a chance to relax and let the "magic" happen, so that she is very successful with nursing her baby.

At this time Poppy does not have a home computer and I do not drive at this time, so I won't be able to go to a library to get my blog done. Hopefully I can deliver my blog by means of her cell phone, but I am not sure how that works for her. Therefore, I must ask your patience once again, if I am unable to get my blog out over the next week to two weeks. I plan to stay at Poppy's for a week to 10 days, and if it is possible I will write my blog everyday from her home, but if there is no way to get on the internet, then I am stumped.

I would ask a favor of you, to hang in here with me during this time of change in our family. I will be back just as quickly as I can be, and we will once again pursue our subject matter; science fiction and the love of ONE. In the meantime, while we await the birth, I will continue to write every day and I will continue to hope that there will not be a disruption of this blog, but if there is a day when you come and there is no new writing, know that I am attending the birth of my great-granddaughter and I am sure that there will be many new things to talk about when I get back to you.

Thank you for your continued patience and support; you are very important to me, and this blog is very important to me. I will return and hope that you will check in everyday, or so, to see if I am back up on line. Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Channukah, and blessed Kwanza!

See you tomorrow, Lord willing, if the devil doesn't interfere!

Love and best Holiday wishes to each one of you. I hope your holidays will have at least one really outstandingly wonderful moment and that you and your family will be blessed with all of the family moments, or quiet moments, that are so rich at this time of the year.

Love, and great thanks for your patience and support! See you tomorrow...Davalene
