24 weeks 3 days

... a visit from far-away family
... a friend's baby born 10 weeks early but healthy (pray for them? he's in the NICU for 4-6 weeks)

... the Best Husband Ever tickling our niece's feet
... healing painting
... staying long after church to talk with a much-missed friend
... watered flowers
... a message to not be afraid seeming to be whispered from many lips
... beginning to catch glimpses, finally, of how I am changing, even though it feels precarious and I can't see how it will end
