Things around here have been slow and steady. Waiting for the baby to come really mellows things out. I am trying to rest as much as possible, even though it's challenging when I have such intense urges to clean & organize every nook in my house! I have been trying to take in each moment, enjoying my final weeks as my "old" self, while preparing to embrace this new chapter of motherhood. It's bittersweet. I am ready to be a mom (at least I think I am) and have so much love to give this little one. But, I'm sure I will miss the so-called freedom & spontaneity that not having a child provides. I think it is worth it. So, as I walk along the ocean with my babe snug inside me, I say a little goodbye to my old life. And, I am ok with it. And, looking up at the beautiful lavender-hued tree in my Nana's yard-I think about how different this tree may look to me while holding my new baby in my arms, letting him take in the sunshine and touch the petals of this special tree.
So, for the next couple of weeks (I am almost 38 weeks) I will try to let the slowness take over & guide me to where I need to be as my body gets ready to give birth. I will try to be like my Miya dog, closing my eyes in pure enjoyment while sunbathing in the garden.
