My good friend told me to create - get out the paints , the wool ect. and create. Honestly I have been feeling too tired and run down to have any creative juices in me. I have knitted many things for Adeline and just feel done right now. Although today I came across some watercolor paper that I did not know I had, I was so excited. So while Tony and Sage were out at the Science Saturday, Ryan and I got out the water color paints.
It was a wonderful experience, I did not tell a story like I usually do during painting time, but rather told Ryan he could paint what he wanted. He started with yellow and on his own started telling a story! He told it in a soft sweet storytelling voice (he has listened to his mama tells stories in the same manner many times!)
The story went something like this :
The sun came out to the playground one day.
Blue came, but stayed around the edge.
Then red, orange and brown joined in.
They all came to play on the playground.
It was a wonderful sight to watch him paint as he told his story - feeling the colors.
I just let the colors fall where they may on mine and I love the flow that evolved. I decided to experiment with lifting color off the paper and started to paint a little fairy up in the blue corner, which I quickly changed to be Adeline. She is there waiting for us. Ryan says it is her when she was in the clouds looking for us so that she can be born!
The other day Ryan drew this drawing of "Daddy and Mommy taking Adeline for a walk". It is the first picture he has drawn with her not in my belly. I think he is as anxious for her to come as we are.
If you look closely at my shoulder, that is little Adeline. I decided to use the back of his drawing to write Adeline a letter. Letting her know how much we already love her and can not wait to hold her close. That she has 2 awesome brothers who she will love and they will love her.
As you can tell, there is much anticipation around here!

Oh, and if you are still waiting, have your hubby apply pressure/massage to the inside of your ankle, trace up four of mother's finger widths above the ankle bone. Rub for about 1 minute.
On the top of your hand in the webbing between your thumb and index finger, press on an angle underneath the bone that connects with the index finger. To stimulate contractions, rub the point. Also helps with pain during labor!
The traps are also a good place to massage.
Here's a good video!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK7YuyVJYbU
