A new life, in the form of a baby. After miscarrying Aven six months earlier, I was afraid, though I didn't want to be. Then, after awhile, the signs of another miscarriage arrived. Doctors, hospitals, and waiting. Weeks went by. But then some hope. A heartbeat!
September:
It's Spring. It's colour, warmth, and cheeriness. The long winter, the dark days and the cold wait are over.
For me (in sunny Brisbane), Spring usually arrives mid-August. For me (in 41 week tradition), this baby will probably arrive mid-August. And I will know that Spring has come. And I will sing this song to our little one (which I have been singing since November, in hope)!
"Hello blackbird, hello starling
Winter's over be my darling
It's been a long time coming
But now the snow is gone"
(Josh Ritter)
Bring on Spring :)
Congratulations Katherine - it certainly is going to be a wonderful spring for both of us :)
ReplyDeleteYes bring on that little darling! Much rest for mama is needed first though!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Katherine! Praying for a lovely stress-free, sickness-free and joyful time for you while you await your little ones arrival.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, I bet he/she will be as beautiful as his/her sisters.
ReplyDeleteKatherine!! I can't wait to meet them! Bring on the Spring! Love lots, Martine
