hiccups

it is a blustery day. 

a cloudy, grey, cold, rainy, blustery day. 

and we are loving it. 

we all went to the baby doctor this morning. the whole family, all five of us. (five!) of course, one of us (little son) was in utero. baby looks great. his "heart beep" as petra calls it, sounds perfect. the doctor asked if I could feel him moving regularly, and at the same moment I could feel him shifting and stretching in my belly. "yes." I smiled. then we came home and watched the wind and rain strip the leaves off the trees in our back yard. and now little son has the hiccups.


for the moment, all is well.

my deepest thanks to veterans who fight and have fought for all to be well, in places all over the world.
