A picturesque day

Driving with my husband looking up into the sky today, I couldn’t help reminiscing.  The bright blue sky was strewn with thick white fluffy clouds. If my elementary school memory serves me, the cloud formations are called cumulonimbus clouds.  The fluffy clouds conjured up thoughts of the day I envisioned my first child would be born. 

For years I pictured giving birth to a child on a day such as today.  A beautiful, picturesque, sunny, cool, bright blue sky, fluffy clouded type day.  In fact, if I planned my pregnancy, I wanted a March baby.  March seems to be filled with those fluffy clouded days.  March isn’t over inundated with other family events and obligations.  However, God had a bigger plan for us.  He gave me a December baby.  In the end, I gave birth via c-section on a cold, dark winter day.  And yet, it was the brightest, sunniest, most beautiful day of my life.  Turns out I didn’t need those big fluffy clouds after all.

dweaver3 - Seeing beauty despite physical realities.  That is so sweet.

Dana -  You are so funny.  Cleaning the house and dining before going to the hospital.  You are to funny.

Great blog, Tracey.... and nice memories for you, too, Deb.  The day I had Jarret, my water broke, but we decided to clean house and go eat Jack in the Box before heading to the hospital.  I had heard that first babies take a while, so I didn't see the rush.  Needless to say, the nurses were appalled when I explained how long it had been since my water broke.  :-D

The clouds have been nice lately. I love having something more than endless blue (well, brown really) to look at in the sky! The night my son was born it was snowy in Tehachapi. Everyone else in my family likes to remember me puking on the side of the car, but I'm the only one who remembers seeing white snowflakes caught in the headlights or the grape hyacynths and tulips polking through a bed of snow when I came home from the hospital. Hard to believe that was 7 1/2 years ago!
