“In giving birth to our babies, we may find that we give birth to new possibilities within ourselves.” –Everyday Blessings

We are so very close to our Home Birth Goal! We need to raise about $1,000 more dollars to make this
home style birthday bash happen and I have every confidence that we will make it there!

Our Friends and Family continue to shower us with support and its so amazing it makes me want to jump up and down. But that feels weird when I do that, so I just sort of skip around and do a funny little pregnant dance...

In fact speaking of funny, yesterday I had the actual experience of getting stuck on my back like a big fat roly-poly bug. Couldn't roll over on either side and certainly not forward. Actually, it was not funny at the time.

I'm admitting this because it helps with the experience of shedding self perception in order to become something more/new/different...

I may have, in the past thought of myself as much more physically agile than all of this. And to be fair there is lots of grace that goes with growing a baby. But honestly, sometimes this task is so very deeply human that you have to stop and think "who am I?"

I guess I'm willing to be whatever I am because I really have no other choice. That's what is kind of magical about being a mama... so far. and let's be clear, we've barely begun.

So! We are getting close to meeting this blessed being! But before they arrive, there's this:

Do you see Betsy&Beau there listed for the 22nd of Feb?

It will be my last show before baby-show time...You should come just to see the madness that is whatever outfit I figure out how to fit my crazy belly into.
Should be quite something.

Also, have you ever been to The Lost Church? How many times have I asked you that? And you still haven't been? It's magical. Also, our friends Brett and Elizabeth who are the creative masterminds behind this sweet little theater of madness, are expecting a  baby boy mere days after ours...

Hooray!


Love you,
Danielle, Dan & Sweet BabyG
