but morning finds you still warm and breathing/

with the best of intentions, i started this a few days ago. and promptly left it on the back burner.

"it's been some time.

it seems funny that i should choose now to begin upkeep of this blog. now, when i'm sure to be much more of a busy bee than before.

one week ago, minus two hours and a few measly minutes, i gave birth (in four hours, at home in a birthing pool) to the most magical, delightful little being. luck and love have graced me with not one, but TWO beautiful children (in addition to the insanely awesome love of my life husband i've managed to wrangle in the meantime) - even in the wee hours of the morning, bleary eyed and neverbeensoexhaustedinmylifeohmygod!, i find myself smiling. life is so sweet."

and full! when i haven't got my arms heart brain full i'm trying to get my mouth full, or empty and clean, along with the rest of me. my husband is a lifesaver - he entertains my incessantly inquisitive four-year-old, has mastered the art of protein shakes just the way i like them, makes patient attempts to connect with an infant who's seemingly only got eyes for her mother's breasts (tough competition), and still makes time to kiss me so that time stops earth moves heart aches because all is full of love.

so, i hope i can manage to consistently blog about my adventures, but if i'm not back as often as you'd like, please don't hesitate to contact me in real life - i live much better over there than on the internet. xo!
