Pregnant and Beautiful

Chelsea 8 months

 

Chelsea came home for a few days as she is on maternity leave.

There is something surreal to see my daughter full and ripe with a baby in her womb. I have felt the baby move, watched her belly roll around, have witnessed the glow of love in her eyes and yet a baby is hard to imagine, a living person, a reincarnation of family cells.

Surreal beauty with deeply felt anticipation stirs within us.

 Forever life growing amongst us. Tender are these days ahead.

 

Pregnant 8 months

 

I have one more French la Vie before the baby is to be born, it starts next week I hope the baby isn't born then. After the French la Vie I will leave for Paris for a month. Then around July third Chelsea and Martin will come and stay in Provence for two months. And they think that after two months they will return to their home in Paris. I think I will keep the baby, how will I ever say goodbye after two months of doting?

    Hands and arms embracing this wee being even before it is introduced to the world. What a loving preparation for the life before this little fellow. Simply lovely.

    Chelsea looks lovely! I’m so happy for all of you. Has a name been picked yet?

  14. If you are anything like my spouse, who is now a grandfather of two, you may begin to think of moving to live near your grandbabies. My husband isn’t, actually, but sometimes it sure sounds like he is! -Kate
