Mother of Three {Lovely Lindsay}

not many can capture true feelings in words like Lovely Lindsay can and I'm happy to share my space with her today...




all of a sudden, i am the mother of three.
mother's day round five.
+++
i spent years dreaming of being somebody's mother.
stacks and stacks of journal pages devoted to someday babies.
hope chests full to the brim of newborn treasures.
i named them. mostly girls. four - no, six!
and then i waited.
and waited.
and waited.
+++
tonight we changed my baby's bassinet into a crib.
wasn't it just a minute ago that bassinet seemed way too big for my tiny bundle of boy number three?
+++
lucas, gavin and charlie grey.
snips and snails and puppy dog tails... and mine.
