Childbirth Education Class...began.



Can I just say that it was just like a scene out of a movie or some sitcom? Because it was. Our instructor was a pleasant, upbeat older lady that was excited about some pregnant bellies. And plently of pregnant bellies there were. We posted up on a wall, on a blanket and with some pillows and here we began breathing techniques and ways to relieve tension caused by contractions. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I suppose I got it all. Awkward jokes, awkward moments, and a room full of clostraphobia enhanced pregnant women. Next week...the first birthing video and a tour of Labor & Delivery. Stay Tuned...

Unimaginable

I try to wrap my head around
the sound
that escapes your lips
as I come to grips
with this new reality
that's taken over me
and as this untangible,
unimaginable
miracle paces
and makes his
ways into my life
I can't do it.

I can't imagine
your perfection
the Master's reflection
of joyous affection
thats manifestation
is staring back
with loving expression.

I don't want to know
what this feeling's composed
until the symphany is played
and we sway
to the rythm of hope
thats been placed in our arms.
No.
I want the emotion
to unravel
at the notion
you travel
into the natural
and grapple
these 10,000 expressions
of joy
and love
that leave me baffled.

So I'll wait.
In sheer anticipation
with this proclomation
that I'll love you
with elation.
