as cozy as spring

The image came up of a wiggling little baby and I laughed and laughed.  I didn't really think there would be anything there.  For many weeks the misery and anxiety of the first trimester almost completely blocked out any joy I could have felt over this, our third child.  

This little baby, who existed in prayers and in our hearts for so many years, is a reality now.  And today for the first time, I am able to put aside the worry and just feel happy. Also still quite nauseous, but more certain that it will all be worth it.

Hiatus

Hello friends.  I didn't intend to take such a long break but frankly, I'm only here to say that the break will probably continue for the next few weeks.  My dad insisted I post something.  I'm in the midst of a very big project of sorts, and it's taking a lot out of me. 

All is well.  I wish you a peaceful Advent and joyful Christmas.
