dreams

dreams come dreams go
the way of all dreams
forgetting remembering
mixing splicing
memories thoughts wishes
dreams.
fall short of expecting
far from realizing
tangled within
thoughts wanted
glimpses of ages
future present past.
remembering remembering
dreams dreams.
dreams come dreams go
I wake I smile I cry
the dream is over
but here in view
seeing the possibility
of dreams
a reality in hidden
silent form.

sam's birth story

A bunch of people have asked me about Sam's birth. So here are more details (and pictures) than anyone ever wanted. Enjoy! (Also, I wrote this a few weeks ago. It's amazing to see how much he has changed over the past seven weeks. Time flies when you are sleep deprived.) Our little burrito made his debut on Friday, November 6 at 4:45 p.m., weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces, and measured 19.5 inches long. And he was (and is) just perfect. But let me back up.

And when half a dozen pregnancy tests came back positive (which is a funny story in and of itself, but that's for another day), I felt all the feels. Surprised. Excited. Terrified. Elated. Anxious. Let's just say tha...

I seriously feel like I won a Life Tile in the Game of Life. I don't know what it means, but it must be good if Hasbro decided to include it in their game. Which, now I really want to know: what is the dean's list?

convos with a prego lady

Truth: pregnancy has made me rather cynical. I try to keep it hidden most of the time (and usually David is the one who bears the brunt of my pent-up sass. He is a champion). I'm not sure why cynicism is a current symptom I am experiencing. It may be due to the fact that I recently read a quote that opened my eyes to all of the nonsensical things people say to fill up space. Here it is, for your own personal enjoyment: "Yesterday at church, a lady took me aside with the express purpose to tell me, 'Don't feel bad. When God closes a door, he opens a window.'" Melissa choked on some pita bread. "I kid you not. What the heck does that mean anyway? That I'm supposed to climb out a window now? Or is the window just to air out the house, which is stinking to high heaven, given the fact that the door has been shut indefinitely and NO ONE CAN GET OUT?!"  —Shannon Hale, The Actor and the Housewife (2009).  After laughing out loud, I started to t...
