soon enough these days i lead will be a past life, one i will wonder that it really existed. i look around at my tidy home, the organized rooms that keep my sanity. it's hard to imagine spilled milk and brightly colored toys littering the floors. little ones scooting along through animal hair tumbleweeds because i haven't had a moment to vacuum.
i love my life now, the leisurely pace. naps on the couch, snuggling in with a good book. watching whichever movie i wish and eating whatever when i want. baking cookies late in the evening and sleeping in. not worrying about having to divide my time with my husband with another individual. but if what they say is true i will not trade the life i have in a year from now for anything in my past life. what a thrilling notion to ponder.
i've started listening to bon iver of late and their hauntingly sweet melodies have brought about this nostalgia i've been nursing. life is not going to slow down and i've been appreciating this space i have to document my thoughts and pictures. to assign each a sentiment and time to recall them in years to come. to appreciate my time before baby comes as a calm before the storm. a storm with sunshine and rainbows, i hope.

oh, jaclyn. this made me want to cry. i love you!
wonderful post. i am looking forward to the room you set up for baby. aww, memories.
I think about this all the time. I LOVE my life right now, and sometimes I get scared about adding chaos to the mix. Like you said, everyone says it will be worth it. I'm sure that's true!
I don't think I have said congrats on the baby yet! So happy/excited for you!
thanks kara, just a little fear of the great unknown. :)
How exciting!!! Congratulations! :) I love your blog. So sweet and thoughtful!
Don't worry, there will be plenty of rainbows... but there will be showers and cloudy days in between them. That's just the way life goes. But you need the chaos to really appreciate the harmony. You'll love it! x
