There’s tons to be done at this time.
Tens of articles and collaterals with dire deadlines.
Some re-reading of maternal and child notes in preparation for the birth that awaits 6-10 weeks from now.
Recipes and destinations to be shared on the blog.
A 4- month backlog of expenses and receipts that need to be audited in my budgeting notebook (argh).
About 50-ish dust-covered books that I’ve been wanting to read since last year.
Three dogs that have been missing a bath for a week.
But the hormones and my heavier-than-a-melon belly take control, and I find myself instead, sifting through pictures of me and Jigs in Puka Beach six years ago – my eyes half-open, ready to fall asleep, as I dream of hitting the beach and discovering anemones and coral trees.
God I feel so pregnant right now.
