Wondering if this is the last photo of you on the inside, reminding myself to surrender and be patient. I know the sleepless nights are ahead, and the start of a new nursing journey, and the birth itself. Yet I can’t help but wake every day hoping it’s your birthday. 6 days till you’re due. I’m so grateful, so proud, so confident in our ability to bring you here, trusting the magic and humbled by the mystery of it all. I’m ready. •••AND••• I’m so sorry I was 22 days late @acottagegirl 😳😳😳
Standing at the water’s edge...nothing to fix...nothing to do...just being...and letting that be enough. • This doesn’t come naturally to me. I wrote more about why #ontheblog #linked
Wash and hang. Now off to make chicken bone broth. Sundays forever, am I right?!
This is #38weeks 🍁 the kits are ready, the bed is wrapped in plastic, the pool is waiting to be inflated, and the home visit is done. There’s not much more we can do but wait and savor these colorful days as a family of three. Lots of hot beverages, cuddles under blankets, and crunchy walks through the leaves are on the agenda. I’m trying not to think too much about the specifics of the birth, and just chew on the delicious unknown of it all. Will our baby have blue eyes or brown? Will they have hair? How big will they be? We’ll know soon enough. For now the mystery is so fun. There’s nothing more exciting than this. I’m so impatient and simultaneously don’t want this to end. ••• Wanna weigh in on the guessing? Tell me your suspicions! Will I be 28 or 29 when baby comes? (Baby is due on my birthday!) Hair? Eye color? Weight? Gender? Lots of surprises!!!
