My sister's bump


I am up at a gawd-awful hour and can't sleep. After moving the office and being sick over X-mas. I got a new house-mate on Dec 26th and am LOVING it so far. She cooks... I eat... We are on the same fucked up schedule, it's nice having someone to commiserate with. Neat lady Deb, she has really enriched my home and my days. I almost didn't let it happen, because I was not wanting change but I'm glad I did.

That is the color of my post today, new changes, new life... It's really scary to let big changes happen, my sister is here visiting and she's pregnant. It made it all the more real, seeing "the bump" and feeling a presence moving around in there for the first time. We weren't very reverent with our comments, because it IS weird having a human inside... moving and growing on it's own, kinda like the movie Alien... except cuter. Big gambles, big chances and big changes.
She is contemplating moving to Christchurch, New Zealand for him (it's a boy), and changing her life for this little guy. I'm so proud of her, she's terrified and doing it anyway.
