Quiet Weekend

I was successful in not going online all weekend. This is amazing for a net addict like me... though I did check my e-mail several times from my cell phone. But, I chalk that up to work necessity. Friday I was very pleased to find 2 pairs of yoga pants that are both comfortable and, according to Raendi, look like dress pants. If I never have to put on my jeans again until after baby comes, I'll be a much more comfortable momma. The yoga pants allows for my changing belly (and yes, it changes daily) to be free and un-squished. It's too soon for me to be showing, most of my discomfort comes from the many strange activities of my now sluggish digestive system.
Today at church was the annual Ask The Minister day where parishioners write questions on notecards and the minister answers them to his best ability. With Aaron, this is always a hilarious, touching, and meaningful experience. He also asks questions of certain members who happen to arrive earlier than others, and I was one of those today. My question was: If you were told that you only had a year to live, what would you do? Aaron informed us that the person who had that question at the earlier service answered: Get a second opinion. :) I wasn't that witty.
Because I'm still waiting to let our church community in on our good news, I didn't talk about our upcoming parenthood. But I did have a chance to reflect on our life and came to the wonderful realization that, on a whole, I wouldn't change a thing. I would still do good work, live my life in music, teach voice. I would try to spend more time being in love with life, passionate about what I care about, and more loving to those around me and myself. I might eat more ice cream. And I'd probably hold a concert at Mechanic's Hall and throw a big party afterward. What I didn't say is that I would love our child, do everything I could to bring it into a good world and a good life. I would cherish every moment I had with him or her. And I would think long and hard about what legacy I'd want to leave.
So, on that note, time to heat up the hot pack and cozy on down to bed. Kittallorium is patiently waiting for me to crawl under the covers so she can "nook up" next to me and I still have a couple of chapters left of Belly Laughs to read. Good night and sweet dreams.
