I haven’t documented much lately. Time seems to be gently slipping by in such a lovely way that I don’t think to pull out the camera. But I want to remember this time, growing one, keeping up with the other. Releasing the to do list, expectations, and housekeeping to be flexible, rest well, spend time with people we love, and be spontaneous. Here’s an unremarkable photo to capture a pretty remarkable time I don’t want to forget. #phoenixwashburn #babybump #21weekspregnant
OUR BABIES | 2 0 1 8 Probably unaware that they make all our childhood dreams come true #cousins #threesistersandtheirbabes
Two years ago, that little nugget in green came into the world. Firstborn to the woman who stood beside me on my wedding day. Three years before that, we dreamed of a moment like this. We each experienced long seasons of trying to become pregnant without conceiving. I went through a divorce, she decided to stop trying for awhile. We let the dream rest. We waited. We surrendered. We stretched, we all made room, and we tried again. Five years later. Here we are. Life isn’t always this poetic. The story doesn’t always climax and resolve all clean and tidy. But moments like this rock the world. This photo captures what was once only a dream, one we both made peace with giving up, and reclaimed later. These four boys made us mothers, and it makes my heart explode. @lanadwright 🖤
Currently: pondering the postpartum season #thefirst40days and marveling at this old swing passed down from Mitch’s family, adorned with pillows from my grandma and a set of Jersey sheets I wrapped around the cushions like @acottagegirl taught me. Feeling loved and lucky.
