another tiny little thing that trips me up

So I’m a pretty active member of the crafting community.  I enjoy learning new craft skills and i loooove the sense of pride in a successfully completed project.  lately, in blog-land, I’ve noticed a few new mothers cutely referring to their new babies as “look at what I made!”  Is it weird that those comments make me feel sad that I won’t be “making” my baby?  This sort of reminds me of the whole bookplate conundrum from earlier, just a new incarnation.

for a status update, we’re at the point where we’re waiting for our texas agency to do final editorial comments on all of our papers and when they’re done, we’ll have to make copies of our profile and then…. we’ll be “in the pool”!  but…. this part of the process could still take a few weeks, so don’t get too excited.  in the meantime, i’m just enjoying having my family visit for the week from far away.

yeah, i think that’s weird too.

children are their own people! Parents are there to guide and facilitate this little person in becoming who they were created to be…

I would totally feel the same way. But you will have a chance to make your child, in more ways than you can know 🙂
