Yesterday was an amazingly beautiful day. C and I went to a gorgeous wedding in Santa Cruz, then came up to GG Park for a birthday party for an awesome friend of mine. The light was stunning, we were right near the dahlia garden, and I felt…well…astonished by the gratitude I felt for my friends, this pregnancy, this little life that’s taking hold in there.
Soon we will be parents, and we’ll be focused on totally different stuff. Eg diapers, sleeping, etc. Before that, I will have to negotiate with work about what this means for my job. But today, I am enveloped by the miracle.
Just read my weekly babycenter.com newsletter. I really recommend this newsletter for anyone who’s pregnant. They give you weekly updates on what your baby is up to – at 11 weeks, apparently, he/she is fully formed – 1.5 inches long (the size of a fig!) and is already kicking and stretching. Wow!
