Tarot reading for Lluvi

A friend of ours read our tarot (thanks, Hoa!) and this is the short version of Lluvi's. Amazingly accurate, I would say:

Past: a card for growing and maturing

Present situation, soon to be resolved: Worries and anxieties will be put to rest

Future: a feeling of intense competition

It made me sad to think of "intense competition" but I guess that is par for the course with a new baby...

Mine was much longer and more complex -- not really the stuff of a blog post.

the opposite of a lullaby

What do you call a song designed to wake you up in the morning? Not sure, but Lluvia serenaded me this morning while we were cuddling and I was trying to catch a few more winks. Since I sing her an eclectic collection of "lullabies," she sang her own versions of "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore," "I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield," and "Puppy, puppy (the thingsicle song)".

Suprise in the mail

My aunt sent me something for the baby -- a baby blanket and booties my mom and I made for my cousin's baby when I was a teenager! I was so excited to see them again. We were in Mexico that summer and everyone thought we were crazy making a black baby blanket... but it looks so beautiful. I have really great memories of working on this... now if only i could get back the awesome full size quilt that we made for my boyfriend when I was 14 :)

Mermaids

We did a mermaid series after reading a book about a merchild. I like the pregnant mermaid because it has a feeling of falling but the water makes it safe to fall. It does bring up the question, though, how do mermaids give birth? C-section, I assume? Just kidding...

oh, jonnhy cash...

Lluvia, singing "Ring of Fire" at the top of her lungs, with a dangling leaf from our potted plant as her headset & microphone, says "Oops, my brain turned off."
