This afternoon, we thought we'd be discovering if Azalea would have a baby brother or sister, but discovered instead that the appointment is next week. Needless to say, I was disappointed after getting so excited, so I spent the next hour looking for one of those 3d ultrasound businesses. Asheville doesn't have one, so we didn't go and I consoled myself by making jewelry. My new acquisitions go with my collection of sparkly jewels perfectly, mostly labradorite and garnet, clear, pale greens and deep pinks of tourmaline. So, I spent the day laying out combinations of stones and thinking about the little baby nesting within me. I'm dreading the loss of my free time, but know how wonderful babies are, which makes that concern seem small. I suppose this means I need to work fast and finish lots of projects, since I'll be busy staring at the new 'freshborn' as my girl likes to call them. She's getting ready by practicing being a mama, birthing lots babies to care for. It's sweet, how nurturing she is. Anyway, we have another week to debate the issue!
