I can feel your anxiety in this write. But the parents will figure it out. I recall that I created my own stress in looking after my firstborn. My mother was around but I ignored her advice. LoL But eventually I learned to cope.

Similarly a friend moved to another city because her daughter wanted her close by as she was expecting her second child. The new baby arrived. But my friend hasn't been asked for assistance yet.

You're right. With new babies expect the unexpected!

Good luck in the contest with this entry with a twist.

Stay safe

Blessings Julia

Hi Julia, thank you so much for a super review. I think my daughter probably has researched everything on the internet, so I wouldn?t be much use! Lol. Fortunately she has a lovely and supportive group of friends so she?ll get by. They all do. I just would like to hold him!
Thanks again.
Wendy

I think all new moms with a newborn can find that there are cloudy day and they just have to take a break and allow the sunshine of the newborn face make them feel better.

I think this is amazing advice, and I am sorry to hear that you cannot be with them at the moment in person. Beautifully written, I like the comparison.

This is a good entry for the cinquain poem contest.
All syllables are in check and the message to always be prepared
is a piece of advice that can easily be taken for granted. The
change of weather can be unpredictable, as we know.
Well done, best of luck and thank you for sharing. ~DD
PS - congratulations on your new grandson.

There are plenty of Manuels, but not for the individual babe.

I have often wondered how such a small being can upset an entire household. LOL I had a granddaughter born 7/29/2020 and haven't met her in person. We zoom every Sunday, but it's not the same. We were on our way to visit them when I broke my wrist. Part of my pity party is missing meeting Eleanor. I enjoyed reading your contest entry and good luck.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. What a pity you broke your wrist and didn?t get to see Eleanor after all. It?s a beautiful name. I also have a granddaughter called Eleanor from my other daughter. She?s now seven. Thank you for your good wishes too.

Congratulations Grandmother!! A new life is exciting for everyone. I am just so sorry you cannot go to them, but keep the faith...maybe soon. They will catch on, especially if you have the phone and maybe a computer to watch him. Your picture sure fits the whole scenario.

Oh dear, this is going to be fun for these new parents who may be set in their ways and they will have to re-think everything in life from now on, I expect they will be doting parents and this child will rule the roost! A fun write Wendy, love Dolly x

Certainly can be some uncertain times when there's a new babe in the house. I like the way you've used weather conditions as the double meaning for this poem. Congrats on the new grandson Wendy, hope you get to visit soon.
cheers,

Babies are always welcome. They bring a lot of work but joys too. Certainly they change the life style of a married couple. Yet all the hard work is worth it. I believe marriage without children is not complete.

In fact, the work of taking care a baby is fun. Their smile, their baby talks are all enjoyable.

Thanks for sharing.
