Nesting & Lullabies

The Sea a Dream, by: Liz Durrett

Lately, I've been sleeping in lists.
Lists of things to be done,

lists of things to buy, 
lists of people to call, to write, to visit.
Even lists of lists to make.

I don't recommend it.

With 6.5 months down,
and only 3.5 to go until this baby arrives,
the pregnant mind runs wild.
And I think this is what 'nesting' must be.

Because Travis and I have been working in overdrive.
Waking up early; staying up late.

Tying up loose ends. Working on the house to-do's
as well as getting the nursery
prepped, painted, ready for baby.

We figure we should try to do as much as we can now,

while we have the time, and well, while I can still touch my toes.

(Which, judging by this picture, won't be too much longer now.)

SIX MONTHS!!!

And yes, that's a unitard. Don't hate.

Throw on a nice oversized sweater and some boots and call it a day.

Perf for a much needed comfy prego look.

My point?
We are excited, but we are exhausted.

And when I heard this song today, it lulled me.

Like I will soon lull my baby.

A calm overcame me, and I felt better.
About all of it.

It's like it said to me, 
Chill out girl. All will be well.

It'll all get done.

I'm looking forward to that time.
When the lists have been checked,
 and we can relax, rest and savor our time,
just the two of us.
Before two become three.

The Sea a Dream makes me sleepy.

And maybe tonight, I won't sleep in lists.

Sweet dreams readers!

XOXO

P.S. Merry Christmas!

Picture Yourself There

So, I've been looking at a lot of pictures lately.

Shhh. Closet Tumblr addict.

And I admit,
I feel a bit of nostalgia for places I've never been,
and people I've never seen.

And it got me thinking. . .

"Beach Baby" By: Bon Iver

(I could listen to this song on repeat, like, a million times.)

Have you ever stared at a picture

and wished that you were right there in it?

That you could touch and feel and smell what your eyes see?

Has your heart dropped into your gut thinking about how it might feel

how it might be

and how it might change you?

How it might steal your soul,

and pull your very heart right out from underneath you?

I have.
