I'm expecting it to slow down even more so than what has happened with my pregnancy, but... maybe not. I did just move my stack of poetry books to the nightstand in the baby's room. What better words are there to soothe?<br /><br />Hope 2013 is full of highlights for you, as well. I do believe you have some exciting moments ahead!Emily Brissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784086623918098981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5646797751527572885.post-37947240842684601072013-01-08T00:57:16.849-06:002013-01-08T00:57:16.849-06:00Wow.

And one so ecstatic in the simplicity of being, of paying attention and honouring the moment that "quivers in eagerness." <br /><br />Wishing you all the very best this year, a joyful and creative beginning to motherhood.
