growing

themama32 weeksthe mama. 32 weeks + growing/glowing.

i just figured it out. why i’ve put the baby prep on hold for so long. why babe-to-be only has a small drawer full of treasures. why some days i even sort of forget i’m growing boy inside this tired body.
++++
because gavin west is still my baby.
++++
i sat down here to write him a little letter but i think i’ll keep my mama words between the two of us and write them on a sheet of paper instead.
++++
he took a late nap today. which meant that tonight (after a super-classic day of grouchy-gavin antics) he was wide awake at 10:30pm. we found a comfy spot on the couch and he crawled up on top of the big-o belly and twirled my hair.
this is rare.
he wanted nothing more than a moment with me. a quiet moment of just-us. he slurped his paci and i could see his one dimple peeking out from behind it.
he was happy.
gavin is mini.
he is still my babe.

“sunshine, daydream, walking in the sunshine!”-the grateful dead

tie dye day 038 in case you thought i was joking.
i wasn’t.
this boy and his tie-dye:  no messing around.
we have to make deals – to insure that only one item of tie-dye leaves this house.
one at a time.
sometimes that means that i agree to him wearing two different shoes.
which is a-ok by me.
but makes his dad a little nervous.
+++
as soon as we get home: it all goes back on.
together.

miles+miles :: years+years

   felt bff 029  felt bff 023

jessie has been in singapore for the past year.
and gina – she hasn’t been home to this tri-town since before she was married.
shelley has found her love and had a babe since i’ve seen her last.
and lindy has been busy collecting adventures since we last got to sit down.
and catch up.
how lucky am i:
the lone tri-citian
to have them all here in one place during their streak of summer birthdays.
i gathered them up tonight for a quick dessert to celebrate and see their faces.
it’s been 10 years since we’ve all sat together like that.
same girls.
same sweet love for each other.
we’ve added a handful of babies.
we’ve added miles and miles to the distance between us.
there’s a big chunk of years that belong to each other and we still meet up
like that:
was yesterday.
silly girls.
++++
but we were missing you.
we must figure it out.
how to get us all in one place.

goodnight loves, lin
