Countdown to liftoff

It's that time now.  My daughter Jenny and her husband, Michael, are soon to be parents.  More precise: they are about to present ME with my third grandchild. 

So soon that when she calls now and I see her beautiful face on my phone, my heart jumps.  I have packed a bag, ready to race the three hours (or less) to her hospital in Cedar Park just outside of Austin.  Her sister Andrea and I both are going.  We think of ourselves as first responders. Our goal is to be heading south on I35W within 30 minutes of getting the call. 

Who would have known it just gets more exciting with each birth?  Other grandparents.
