It's past noon and your daddy and I are still
in bed. When I woke up and asked myself,
"What would make me happy right now?"
I got inspired to set up our baby registry for you.
You'll emerge in just three months and
we are all blissed out
imagining life with you.
As soon as your daddy woke up he made me
hot tea of raspberry leaf and nettle
both super-power-pregnancy plants.
His bike outside beckoning in full view
from our bedside French doors, he is perfectly content
instead right by my side
Pure wool baby blankets
organic cotton rompers with tug boat
flower and mushroom prints
luxurious chamomile and almond oil baby cream
glass baby bottles for when Mama's not around to feed you
and because we'll keep on doing our best to
love ourselves really well
while you're in my womb and when you come out
prenatal and postnatal massages for both of us.
You move a lot when Mama gets massaged.
It's like you're saying,
"Good job Mama! You loving you is good for me too."
We'll be riding bikes together through the
sycamores and oaks of Bidwell Park
beside the rushing creek, beneath the wings of songbirds.
Your daddy found the baby bike seat he likes and now
he's cooking us breakfast.
Baby, it just cracks me up. It's like a movie sometimes.
Every day with him, I still think I'm dreaming.
We are already so in love with you.
Love,
Mama
