anticipating an arrival...

Our next door neighbors are patiently waiting for their baby to be born. While they are busy with the chaos of last minute preparations, I am trying to finish this baby block to go along with the blanket I completed last month after a pre-term false labor episode. So, today, is the actual due date. There were some mild contractions going on yesterday, but, as of dinnertime last night -- no baby. I want to applique the initial of the baby's first name on the brown gingham block -- and, I can't do that until...waaaaaa!
