Letter to Maddie: You’re late!
Dearest Maddie,
Today is July 10, 2010, better known as your due date. I’ve been counting down each and every day until this date for well over 150 days now, and I even put up a countdown so others could expect your arrival as well. Now the timer is up and here we are, still waiting. Right now I can feel you as your little body shakes with each hiccup, and I continue to wonder: will today be the day? When will we finally get to meet you? We found out about you on your father’s birthday and you are a well overdue little present, just waiting to be unwrapped.
So, unless you plan on arriving in the next 5.5 hours, you are going to be officially late. I realize it is probably quite cozy in there, but I assure you it’s great out here as well and you have many people who have been waiting to meet you here, your father and I the most anxious and excited of them all.
So please, can we forgo you being fashionably late? We are so excited, and the waiting is killing us!
Love,
mom and dad

Hi there!
Congrats on your new addition, best of luck!
I love your blog! I’m an American gal from the DC area and I’m marrying a Brit and hopping the pond in less than a year–ACK! My fiance is from the Brighton area so we will likely settle there, too! I am enjoying reading blogs like yours with other American ladies taking the plunge into British life for love

Maddie,
So many people from around the world are awaiting your arrival thanks to Mom posting your adventures on the inside. Please make your presence known so that we may gaze upon your brillance.
Matt
Yes, the world is waiting. C’mon Nicky, give us a baby!
OH! I love the name Madeline!! Such a sweet name!
And I know how you feel, I was induced at 41 weeks and she wasn’t even ready then! They had to start from square one with me! I hated it! But then afterward, I’d watch all those pregnancy shows where the baby was born prematurly (even just 3 or 4 weeks) and the babies looked so much skinnier and stuff and I was actually kinda glad that I was late because I got a big healthy baby!
So here’s hoping that you have a big healthy sleep-through-the-night baby!
GOOD LUCK!
