Here I sit at home. My husband is working on fix-it projects, repairing much loved and therefore broken toys. Our daughter is nestled in bed. Dinner is warm in our bellies. I cherish these quiet times around the house.

I have the weekend off from the birth center...and I miss it. It seems to be a catch-22. I am thankful to be here at home...but I am also often wondering what is going on in my other world. All those Mama's that I saw this past week who are due any day now. How are they? Are their wombs rumbly and their little ones wiggley? Now that the sun has gone down are they starting to brew?.....
