"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Spring has sprung and we finally felt some of the warmest weather we've had all season.  Flowers are beginning to bloom wherever we go, and your fascination toward the colors and smells is something that makes my heart burst just watching you take it all in.  You love nature, to be outdoors.  Now that we finally have had the opportunity we've been making the most of it - all three (and a half) of us.  My beautiful girl, may your innocence and fearless spirit stay with you.

    Oh I love Spring! I miss it. The Autumn weather we are having is a little similar but it just isn't the same. It's so amazing watching children play in nature! Often I forget the magnificent beauty that surrounds us, then Everly reminds me.

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once.
