8 months later with a 5 month old in tow...

wow, what a slacker. since february 11, or my last post life has undergone some major changes. maybe i'll write more now. maybe not.

i turned 25. i officially took a leave of absence from school in mid-march. I had a baby boy, 'max' (not his real name but what his older brother Yano is STILL fighting to call him). Max was born April 22, 11 days early according to calculations. The homebirth was sucessful. The only way to sum up such an event is to say that it was passionate and painful, romantic and primal...speechless. I still can't describe the event clearly. How does one articulate a moment in which new life, a soul, enters the world that wasn't previously 'there' in person? The mystery and amazement of it still boggles my mind.
