Birth + Rebirth

Been thinking a lot about birth lately, since the birth of my daughter grows closer every day. I still have so much to do before this little being arrives--preparing the space for her, doing the inner work on myself to become ready to step into parenthood, and learning as much as I can about truly caring for a newborn and constantly adapting to her needs in developing a daily rhythm. So it's not just the birth of this little baby but the birth of myself as a mother.

And tonight on the longest night of the year I just want to honor the rebirth of the sunlight.

Baby Girl!

This is a weird 4-D picture of our darlin' baby girl!

We just found out yesterday, and it's the best Christmas present ever.

It was crazy to see her opening her mouth and moving her arms around. I mean, wow.

I think she kind of looks like me :)
