What a beautiful morning!!!
Daniel and I are sitting on our balcony watching the ocean together and enjoying the smell of the newly fallen rain. It rained REALLY hard here last night and now it is a little cloudy with patches of sun seeping through the sky. Today is also Everett's birthday! Hard to imagine, but true! A year ago yesterday, I was up watching Jay Leno (of course, I couldn't sleep) and I thought to myself, "This is IT! My body just can't take being pregnant anymore." And on Monday morning, I drove down to the hospital with Mom Somerville and sure enough I was dialated to a 4 and ready to give birth in just a few hours. Amazing. Such a paradox, being relieved physically from carrying Everett, but at the same time unsure of what problems he may have coming 5 weeks early. And now he is perfectly well and thriving! Thank you, thank you, thank you Dear God for seeing both E and I through that time. To celebrate his birthday this morning, Daniel is planning on making pancakes when the boys wake up.
Lastly, some highlights of yesterday...
1. I stayed in my pjs until 1 in the afternoon!!!
2. We walked to Treasure Island beach and boy was it a walk. Door to door it took us a little over 3 hours, and we walked about 8.5 miles!
3. The four of us watched A Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving together, while the rain came down outside. Such a treat!
4. Daniel and I finished the evening drinking tea in the tub. Then, read in bed.
What a blessed time it has been!
