Early bird or late bird?

Well, I'm starting to doubt my prediction for an early arrival. This is the Scorpio horoscope (birthdates Oct. 24th - Nov. 21st) from the SF Examiner today...

Your universe is either expanding or contracting, but it's absolutely never static. For this very reason, you're determined not to get too comfortable in the current situation.

Although the Libra horoscope (birthdates Sept. 23rd - Oct. 23rd) could also be accurate, but more subtle...

You cleverly deal with at least three things that should've been handled by someone else. Tonight, it takes a lot to hold your attention, but a Cancer or Leo person has you leaning forward in your chair.

Could "leaning forward in your chair" be a reference to birth? Both of my parents are Cancer's, as is my friend Raleigh. Although the strongest Cancer influence on Mather today was her soon-to-be friend Isabel, the 13 week old daughter of Daniel's coworker Kristen. Dan's office hosted a baby shower today for the three upcoming births in their office. Isabel made an appearance with her parents Kristen and Jerrold. I encouraged Isabel to send an invitation to Mather (in the language of newborn) letting her know that the time has come to meet her loving friends and family.

Only time will tell whether Mather takes after her mother (early bird) or father (late bird) when it comes to promptness.

The second day of maternity leave offered up the distractions of the aforementioned baby shower and a new haircut, check it out...

Well from the latest photo she appears quite cozy up there. I think I will stay put and get some work done today. Momily is indeed a prompt girl--except when it came to being born. Maybe Mather will take after me and vary her schedule between being too early or too late. And then there's Grandma Sarah who far exceeded Daniel in the tardiness department. We will just have to be patient birds to see.

maybe she's planning on being fashionably late?

Are you sure that she knows she's invited? Isabel may have warned her off. "It's cold out here, stay in as long as possible"
