When will the big event take place? Come on Baby Fro

When will Baby Fro come? That is the question. She is due to meet this world on the 15th May 2013, and Rock Chick is growing bigger and bigger in size. Today will be Rock Chick's last working day after which she is on count down to the birth. She groans about the weight now on her hips, how her big round belly is getting bigger. How she has weighs more than she has ever weighed before in her life.  Sparkling Eyes is on tender hooks count down as well. I asked her when Rock would give birth and she had no idea. It must be me. I'm a man and am expecting something to happen at a scheduled time. As though Rock chick will wake up on the 15th, look at her watch and say "OK Baby Fro it's time for you to say hello" at which point she the goes into contractions, is rushed to the hospital and a suitable time later the little baby breathes air for the first time. Rock likes to stay in bed late so it's possible Baby Fro will be late because she likes to sleep in as well. She's obviously not bothered about time tables or alarms, she is comfortable and will stay comfortable until she is ready to dance and sing. Although I'm sure she will mostly be crying, sleeping, pooing nappies, and maybe goo-goo-ing more than anything else in the early days.

I can sense a kind of tension in Sparkling Eyes, she tells me Rock Chick was a big baby and late so it may well be Baby Fro is going to be a big girl as well. Rock was long and over 8 pounds in weight. What will Fro be like? What pseudonym will I give her when she become a member of the family? Sparkling talks about preparing the spare room, getting a new carpet for it and also a reclining sleep over couch thing. So if Dangerous is working at night Rock can rest at relative ease, Sparkling sits on the edge of her seat, she waits in trepidation, she's excited, Dangerous is excited, we're all excited. If I know when Baby Fro is due, as close to the date as possible then I can get a ticket booked to be in Scotland and give moral support. I hope Sparkling can calm, everything will be fine. Babies have been born throughout the life of humanity. Regardless, this is a special one, a very special one indeed.

So Rock Chick, turn the alarm on, do a little dancing, jumping up and down if needed, eating odd combinations of food, running up and down stair, whatever it takes. Then send me a text with the date. I have to know. When will Baby Fro be here?
