Champagne in the belly…
Jul 9th, 2009 by champagne
Tiny bubbles bursting in slow motion against my muscles. A light percussion under my skin. There you are. And here I am. At 15 weeks, I finally have the urge to post again. An urge nearly as strong as the fatigue that pushed against my every step like a strong wind for weeks. I wake this morning to a clearer understanding of the lifespan of fruit, clinging with all its might to the fingertip of a tree, growing heavier every second with the fullness of its own perfection.
Then, a card in the mail from a perfect friend. She is right. The glowing comes slowly, but all that orange fire on the horizon has me sitting as still as a child in a boat. Morning moves into place, and suddenly I am somewhere near the afternoon of this pregnancy. I welcome myself back with words while I have them. So much of this perfection is unwritten amazement.
I hope and plan to get back to posting. I have missed this little place.

Welcome back. Your words were missed.
Welcome back my beautiful writing friend. I concur with ‘husband,’ you and your words have been missed.
So much of pregnancy is ‘unwritten amazement.’ How do we explain life at its beginning?
Ditto 1&2, welcome back!
Ah, I thought you might be preggers as you hadn’t posted in a while. Congratulations!
I finally have something of quality to read again! Sports is so “two-thousand-and-late” – (I seriously need to stop listening to the pop station on my new Sirius radio…)
I echo everyone’s comments – your post was beautiful and I’ve missed my daily dose of sunshine that I get from reading your words. So happy that you’re having a baby – you’ll make a wonderful mommy!
Much love,
Kim
