I recently woke at two o’clock in the morning with a mad case of nausea… and then everything that accompanies it. My first thought, besides how gross it is, was how long do I wait before calling someone, a friend, a doctor… someone who might know what I do next. Instead of a game of telephone, I played hopscotch between my bed and the cool tile of our bathroom for the next few hours until the sun came spilling through the windows and with it’s early rays brought a sigh of relief, both from a long, tiring morning and whatever it was that upset this growing bump of a belly. I’m happy to say that all is well and those wandering thoughts of a trip to the hospital didn’t even come close to being talked about.

So now, besides waiting quite a while to eat Thai food again, and while working through the urge to constantly clean something, I’m going to try and get the bunny a little more rest while we grow and stretch and change, together.

And speaking of growing and stretching and changing, in spite of all the crazy news and sad events throughout our world recently, there is also so much good. There are so many amazing stories and sweet, real moments happening all over this big, beautiful world of ours, sometimes you just have to look a little closer. Part of bringing a baby into this world is looking for those beautiful things, the ones that make you smile and happy to know there is so much beauty to be found even in the midst of what can sometimes seem to be chaos. And part of our families growth and change is to find ways to appreciate our blooming world even more, though we’re completely “green,” we are always looking for ways to live our lives while being good stewards over our little part of this earth. So, happy earth day! What are you doing to celebrate this big, beautiful world that we share today?
