A Baby

Hushed conversations
Whispered suspicions
Quiet excitement
Almost daring to believe
Growing hopes
Querying, wondering
Waiting impatiently
Starting to believe
Asking, confirming
Really!?
Are you sure?!
It definitely looks that way!
Elation 
Hardly able to believe it
Such news: 
A new baby! 
Another miracle 
An unexpected and delicious one 
God is good
We are blessed.
