{Whispers}

I don't have the words to express how my heart feels during moments like the ones I captured today between Ryan and Reed.

They're becoming increasingly frequent these days.

It's a sign that Reed is growing up,

that I've done well in choosing not only a wonderful husband

 but an incredible father for my children.

I was his first love.

 Ryan is his first friend.

These two share more than the same features. 

They share the same sensitive heart.

They share secrets and stories that I will never understand. 

I don't need to.

It's not about me.

It's about them and their bond.

Even so

their whispers make my soul smile.

We had such a fun day today hiking and playing as a family.

We took a million pictures that I can't wait to share over the next few days.

 I must sleep now.

 This growing life inside of me demands it.

Have I mentioned I am so excited?

We all are. 

There's a big brother and sister that can not wait to meet the baby.

I,on the other hand,

am feeling more patient with this pregnancy.

I'm loving the belly whispers & kisses from Ryan and the kids.

I'm enjoying the anticipation and baby buzz around the house.

I never thought of myself as one who enjoyed being pregnant.

Perhaps it's a sign of my age and familiarity.

Or maybe a way of being grateful to have this experience again.

Whatever the reason

 I am very much at peace.
