Pregnantly Waiting ā€“ Painting

Updated: Nov 16, 2020

The week before my sister gave birth, she reminded me of a flower in spring, ready to bloom but waiting patiently for the weather and timing to be just right.

Our daffodils just happened to be blooming and it seemed to be a most appropriate chair for a highly pregnant woman: soft, cushiony and luxuriously silky smooth for all of the aches and pains that come with pregnancy.

I remember at the end stage of my pregnancies that there was no position whatsoever that was comfortable. Lying down hurt. Sitting hurt. Standing hurt. Iā€™m not sure if there is anything more difficult than to be patient in the last week of pregnancy.

Juliet did it beautifully.
