Wow. Nothing short of amazing, eigh? Most people think it's a marvel of modern photoshop; however, I like to believe it's a burst of energy anxious to grace us with his/her presence. :) With my sister-in-law expecting in early May, the arrival of a new Renfrow floors me. How amazing is childbirth? A little something I just wrote...
A mother's stomach
the fetus' cocoon
housing a beauty
to brush the canvas of life
a life paramount
remains as one
in the hands of her Creator
the growth lines
these "stretch marks"
are anything but...
they are
remarkable beauty
evidence of a love
with endless domains
how lucky she is
how amazing she will be
a mother
We love you Ali. I can't wait to be Aunt Ashley. :)

ASH!! how BEAUTIFUL is that poem!!! it took me forever to get all the way to the end of it, i know, it's not long, but i started crying after the first 4 lines! ...and then every other word after that! ;) so, i have been trying to regain my composure so that i could leave a comment!! thanks for making me (us) feel so special. i think i may need that framed at some point! what an awesome reminder of the miracle God can create in us and then finds us fit enough to leave them with us to raise them! how scary and yet, what a honor! i can't wait for you to be an aunt too! how fun! i can't wait to meet this baby!! and yet, there is still so much to try to get done before s/he arrives! you are the sweetest! thanks for lifting my spirits and melting my heart. i love you. ali ;)
