Just been thinking about John and his growing family and how that chapter of my life is closed. Yes, I will be a mom for all eternity but the anticipation of pregnancy and birth has passed. I regret no decisions I've made-- I have my Beautiful Two and should our house ever become too quiet, there are waiting children aplenty in this world. My nights are still sleepless and tear-filled while my days are filled with a hazy, happy guidance. I am content, in an exhausted sort of way. This is, then, just a rememberance. Or perhaps a blessing to John and his growing family.
Home
I dreamt of you
before I knew you had taken shape
your tiny strength stretched out on my bed
wide eyed
glorious
on waking I knew you were mine
growing swiftly
turning lightly
stretching the pear of my belly
waiting impatiently
to come home.

Thank you Amanda!
…aah, the sleepless and tear-filled nights..just when we've mastered the night time routine with our 3yr old daughter we'll be back to the 3 hour stretches of sleep…ah the joy of being a parent.
My wife has already made me promise to take on night duty with baby #2…it's the least I can do after she's had her belly blow up like a baloon and rotated through 4 sets of maternity clothes over the course of 4-5 months.
It won't be long before I'll be tying her shoes and she'll be eating dinner on the couch with her feet up while resting her plate on her belly…
The things women go through! God bless you all.
HAHA! The belly as table…some things I've just blocked out :) I hope she is feeling well and keeping her spirits up– it will be over all too soon. Although some time warp always seems to happen in regards to pregnancy and birth. While pregnant, 40 weeks will creep by at a pace only God could appreciate. Then the blessed day arrives and somehow another 40 weeks will pass in the blink of an eye. I could swear to you my daughter was coaxed from my belly just days ago but in truth we are on the verge of her 18 month “birthday.” Ah, well. Such is parenthood! Let your wife know she is in my thoughts and I sympathize with all her aches, pains, (yes) joys, too!
