What I Wore (37wks)

August 31, 2011

For reals y’all.

I’m pretty sure I crossed over into Land ‘O Ridiculous.
I had no desire to actually show you these pictures.
But I *do* want to have these journaled for the future.
And I *did* just tell a friend recently not to do a style post insulting herself.
So I’ll just say.

Y’ALL.

My *ahem* proportions right now?
High comedy.

Because He Is Seven

August 29, 2011

He is simply a wonderment.
A testament to children being born with a certain something.
A gift.
He speaks from a place somewhere else
in a way that intrigues everyone
and makes people laugh out of pure glee
of his unusual perspective.
He’s the one who will ask you
“in heaven, will our dreams become real?”
and if you spill something he will help [...]

On Changes

August 26, 2011

We laid on top of the covers, sideways on the bed. Curling up because we’re both too tall and too old to just hang off the sides like noodles. The quilt still smells quilty and despite me loving it, tonight I wasn’t fond of the memories it was pulling out of me.
We stared teary eyed [...]

What I Wore (36 Weeks)

August 24, 2011

It has been a week of signs
that labor may in fact be near
or not.
But one thing is sure

And that is

As much as I can’t stand very long
or walk without a wide gait

I’m so enjoying these last few weeks
with just me and babe
however many I have left
before all things new
and I have to share fifi.
So my [...]

When Nothing Else Will Fix It

August 22, 2011

Where do we go
and what do we say
when nothing will fix it?
When there are no answers?
We hear the Earth groan in labor
and can feel the vibrations of the soil
crying out in expectation of Salvation…
{{Click to read the rest over at Incourage, won’t you?
I’d love your thoughts…}}

That One Day

August 19, 2011

There was that one day, when all of the sudden, I awoke and felt like “OK. UM YEAH.” and wondering why in the world I couldn’t hardly walk anymore.
Then I took pictures for What I Wore this week, and said hmmmm.
Then I put those pictures side by side and my eyes popped out.
Do you think [...]

What I Wore (35 weeks)

August 17, 2011

I’m not exactly sure what I’m channeling this week,
a swollen flamenco dancer?
I huff and I puff and I waddle to and fro.
But I also am blissfully aware of the beauty of these last few weeks.
And so thrilled I’m capturing them here.

This is a variation on my uniform lately.
The jersey skirt from last week is a [...]

Here and There

My take on if video cameras should be allowed in the delivery room…
Breastfeeding in public and what the big commotion might be really about…

On how you can avoid sunscreen and sunburn…

Freeze Time (Small Style)

August 12, 2011

i sat and perused the pictures of our family today
and it hit me.
the knowing that things won’t always be so special
and they won’t be so tiny.
i know it in my bones and yet
i forget.
maybe on purpose.
these 5, all cousins, will grow to 8 by the end of the year.
one day they (and any other babies [...]
