5 minutes to parenthood  — 3 months ago

Yesterday I received a lovely e-mail from a graduate nursing student and Labor & Delivery nurse, working on a project for school (a powerpoint presentation on labor pain), wondering if she could have permission to use this photo of Markus and I that we took with the old camera (on a timer) just minutes before Isak was born. She found it on flickr and wrote me though the site.

I’m more than happy to let her use it. It also gave me an opportunity to look back over those first photos of our family and remember. The moment we took that photo is still so vivid – we were both wrapped up in intense love and fear and excitement, knowing our lives were both going to change so much, that we were about to meet our baby for the first time. I’m really glad she wrote me.

Love is...  — 11 months ago

when you’re both exhausted and he finishes up the laundry you started (and even hangs up your nice panties so they don’t melt in the dryer).

on love and avocados  — 11 months ago

Much like with love, avocados are better when you apply patience. I was reminded of this when I jumped the gun the other day and cut open one of two avocados that had been taunting me from atop the fridge.

I instantly regretted it, finding it hard and bitter inside. If only I’d waited it would have been delicious. I was very disappointed in myself for ruining a perfectly good avocado.

The other one? I waited until last night. I gingerly held it in my hand and could tell it was ready. When I cut it open it was perfect – oh, I’m fanatical when it comes to perfect avocados.

Markus loves them too. He’d declined to have any, but I could tell as I ecstatically ate spoonfuls that he was quietly regretting that decision, so I handed him the other half, which delighted him.

He said “really? Are you sure?”
I said “yes, because it’s a really good one, and I love you.”

He totally understood.
He’s a really good one too.

inner child escapes  — 11 months ago

I love that when we saw the new Green Machine and Markus’ eyes lit up (we’d talked about how badly we both wanted one when we were kids), and I suggested he give it a whirl, HE DID.

We need to go for that birthday date (I’m going to take us for dinner; his choice) – it’s been too long since we’ve been out alone together.

Oh my love...  — 1 year ago

I don’t know how I would ever have survived this month without you. You’ve smoothed the wrinkles from my brow, calmed my heart, and listened to me spout every emotion under the sun like a broken faucet. You’ve taken on so much when you’re exhausted and upset too. I love you so much. Thank-you.
