The new rythms of life...
We are now 6 days away from Mia's due date. She's due Friday, September 30th, we'll see! In the last few weeks we've acquired some new Mucci rhythms. You didn't know we were musical did you? Nick happens to be very musically inclined and the boys sing, create and play music all day long so I might as well be too:) But as you guessed those aren't exactly the rhythms I'm speaking of. Life is just sort of continuing to shift and transition, to phase from one lovely moment to the next.
I did manage to find a way to slow down a bit, it mostly came from lowering my expectations of a clean home. The last month has been really warm and it's not given me much choice but to slow down. Dom and I see a therapist weekly and I believe she is there more for my sake than his. I still find it hard to believe I am actually going to have a 3rd child, and a daughter at that. Eli attends a "practice" preschool two days a week (totaling a mere three hours) and Dom goes to real preschool 5 days a week for three hours a day! I went from being truly home and truly dictating our schedule daily to rushing out the door to begin the morning as taxi lady. Nick is still working 30 hours as grounds and maintenance, they just won't let him drop 10 more, praying for that opportunity soon though. He's devoted to his call to develop the B Moore project and I've never seen him have so much peace and be so alive as when he talks about this. I am finding myself still devoted to our 6 families we serve through Manna Truck and being a facilitator for other community leaders to devote in the same way.
For now I enjoy these rhythms; the structure that school brings, the support of therapy, the peace in knowing our call, and the way pregnancy slows me down.
I know the sound will change soon, maybe in less than 6 days, but I am prepared to seek out the beauty in how the current collides with the next phase.
