Myself and I

A Confession

December 4, 2011

Sometimes it’s the epitome of that feeling of being watched. You are not your own anymore.
You have that Not You inside you, literally there in a tangible way that if we just invented the right kind of scan they’d be able to locate it.
A soul scan.
The unseen aren’t nonexistent, just viewed with special eyes.
I [...]

How She Came To Be – River’s Birth Story

November 29, 2011

Friends, I have no idea where these days and weeks have gone. River turns 8 weeks old in a couple days and honestly? We cannot believe it. I haven’t blogged here mostly because I had no idea time was rushing past me (the other reason is because colic has ruled the house). Things are finally [...]

What I Wore (39wks)

September 16, 2011

It’s been a long week, friends.
And perhaps I have another week left?

The effort it took to get these pics taken
may show in my eyes if you look closely.

But I can’t help but feel like the most blessed
who gets to feel kicks and wiggles
{oh so down low wiggles}
all by myself.

Soon I will have to share.
Baby will [...]

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.

This past [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Let Me Just Pour Out A Bit

August 9, 2011

As labor nears I feel new and old familiar stirrings pushing their way to the surface.
Apparently they were there all along. Not handled, but set aside for later.
And yesterday after me saying just the right things and him replying with just the right things, the stirrings came pouring out like a volcano.
And oh they are [...]

What I Wore (at 33 weeks!)

August 3, 2011

Friends nudge and want belly sightings
and I make haste and doll up
and do as asked.
Many sighs and eyerolls in the direction of my closet later,
{oh closet. how you lack.}
here’s where we are.
At week 33, my belly and me.
My 8 year old photog and I, literally melting.
Him snapping away while I made futile attempts to not [...]
