bump: sweet in the morning

Five weeks to go and I'm noticing little rituals forming in my day - a cup of tea in the morning sun just one of them. The ledge for the tea cup is handy too. Baby is still dancing in my belly, stretching it's legs and arching its back - the sure sign of a yogi or, perhaps, a ballerina. Braxton hicks have stepped up a notch this week, encouraging me to be in the moment and reminding me to breathe deep. I'm still teaching classes, still writing articles. But soon, work will slow down and I'll just 'be' for those last few weeks. Slowly yet purposefully preparing, feathering and waiting for baby's arrival. On the full moon, perhaps.

    I hope you enjoy these last few weeks that go so quickly and yet so slowly at the same time. The tea in sunshine ritual will be a nice one to keep doing after baby is born.

    So good to hear you're making time for cups of tea, and preparing to slow down...

    PS. When I'm out of that dress it's all about stretchy tops and long cardis for me too...nice to know you can mix it up with a francy frock every once a while though!

    PS. You're in the majority guessing it's a boy...I think it's been pretty unanimous actually!

    So beautiful, you and your words. Oh a dancing baby, I can only imagine how that must feel!
    How exciting, i'm so happy to have found you now, during your last days of pregnancy and after when you bring that yogi or ballerina home :)
