Creating

She said:  I had the profoundly emotional realization last night, while Justin was packing for a quick overnight business trip, of the enormity of what we are doing in creating a family together. We are connecting ourselves to each other in the deepest way I know.  And perhaps because we have come into this all with such willing and open hearts, it is more lovely and compelling than I ever could have imagined.

She said:  Well, here we are in 2008.  Our due date is 4 months from today, May 1st, and I certainly have started to feel and (slowly) look like a pregnant person.  I have been going to pre-natal yoga, and it is pretty wonderful to be with some other expectant moms at various stages--I haven't had much of that.  A few of my co-workers are/were also pregnant these last few months, but other than the occasional chat in the break room, the office is not much of a place to bond with other moms-to-be, I think we are all trying to not be so different than we have always been.  So these yoga classes are very sweet in that way.  It is also so interesting to me how very differently women's bodies carry babies, and to see these women from different walks of life come together to just "be" with their changing bodies and growing babies.
