I Won't Hatch!
Oh, I am a chickie who lives in an egg.
but I will not hatch, I will not hatch.
The hens they all cackle, the roosters all beg,
But I will not hatch, I will not hatch.
For I hear all the talk of pollution and more
As the people all shout and the airplanes roar.
So I'm staying in here
where it's safe
and it's warm.
And
I WILL NOT HATCH!
Shel Silverstein
The reason it's been in my head is that my brother and sister- in- law seem to have waited extra-long for their daughter to arrive. She didn't seem to want to be born. But after some nagging and assistance yesterday, SHE'S HERE!! I am an aunt for the very first time!! Her name is Helen and I am just itching to get home to see her!! Three weeks and counting!!
P.S. I have permission to show her off - here she is, all new and wrinkley!!

Congratulations on your aunthood!
And that's a charming poem which strangely reminds me of when one of my brother's was being potty trained... odd how these connections pop in!
How exciting! Congratulations on becoming an Aunt. Little Helen is a very lucky girl to have such a wonderful, loving presence in her life!
Congratulations Aunt - and I love the poem - so fitting.

I love being an auntie of three-welcome to the club Auntie Megg! (Mine actually do call me "Auntie Alex!") Its such a joyous job- no discipline or hard work really, our only job is to love and indulge and sprinkle them with love and ogles. And shes so sweet and beautiful. & I'm so happy for you that you get to go home soon. I know its going to be so good for you-you're in the homestretch!
Ohh, congratulations! You'll be the best auntie!
And can I just tell you how lovely, how perfect she is?! Nah, I don't need to tell YOU!
P.S. My husband's grandmother is named Helen, too. I think it's a beautiful name!
