In a year or so I'll be able to point out these simple things of happiness to our little girl and get those happy faces and cheers that only babies can provide to us---the honest and real and oh my gosh this is the best thing I've ever seen kind of joy.
High five for what's to come...
For the way the fall leaves are changing this city neighborhood of ours...
For the ways that we all change as this season allows us to begin again...but to also reflect and marvel at what these final months of the year mean to the collective feeling of 2012...(it feels basic, primal even, as we go through this final phase of pregnancy that so many others have for centuries...)
Gratitude. Today and everyday.
(And for the rolls and swishes and "is that your foot?" that I'm feeling right now in my tummy. Life is a miracle.)
