The Blair Affair

I read this poem on a friends blog and had to share it. Enjoy!!



If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again


If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less.
I'd do less correcting, and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less, and know to care more.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd teach less about the love of power,
And more about the power of love.

Feeling it

Well I had a wonderful 34th birthday with Pete, our family and friends. He surprised me with a very relaxing evening at a Bed & Breakfast with a huge jet tub (which I was in for the majority of our stay). It was a memorable day.

After my birthday, I became even more excited about meeting our baby. I've been having crazy, wonderful, beautiful dreams. And those "nesting" feelings that you hear about that mothers get before the baby comes...well I've been having those too. I really feel like my life is about to change drastically.....in a good yet very exhausting way. ;)

I believe God's plan for us to be parents is just around the corner.
Something is definitely in the air...........
