Belly

"I once was just 1 and then I found you...

then 'I' became 'we' and 'we' became 2

nine months of waiting...

our 'we' became 3

such a great family

were you, him and me

now he's getting tall

and we wanted one more...

so guess what?!? Our 'we'

is soon to be 4!"

In New Ulm almost three years ago as I was pregnant with Joshua, our mirror was small enough that all I could see reflected back during pregnancy was from my shoulders up. All of the sudden we have a mirror in which I can see my belly. It is strange! I hardly recognize my body, but love seeing the shadow cast by my belly. What a miracle to watch my belly swell as we wait for our little boy. 

(I took the profile of my shadow as we were leaving school the other night.)
