Waiting around.

Norah,

You were due to be born today, but we’re still waiting. It’s not surprising that you’re late, everyone in your family is. So I guess you’ll fit right in. Your mother and I are really looking forward to meeting you. This is the first post in your baby blog. I created one for your older sister too, but I didn’t get the idea until she was almost a year old, so I suppose your infant pictures will be here. To introduce myself, I’m daddy. My birth name is Joseph Victor Hinson, I am named after Joseph the Hebrew from the book of Genesis, and Victor Hinson, my father (your Papa). His mother wasn’t around when he grew up, so his grandmother basically raised him. She was a really great woman, and her name was Gracie. Your name is Norah Grace Hinson, because your mommy and I thought it was a beautiful name and wanted to pay tribute to who helped to raise your Papa.

Everyone’s excitingly anticipating your arrival. We really can’t wait to meet you. The next post from me will have pictures of your cute little infant baby face.
