Full Circle

A few nights ago, I came full circle.

You see, for months, while I anticipated the arrival of our baby, I sang to her in the shower. I did this while I was expecting all three of my babies, actually. To me it was a way for the baby to get to know my voice—and for me to feel closer to that new little spirit. After chaotic days of answering my older children’s every need, at night, when I was finally alone and the house finally quiet, I could sing.

A few nights ago, my baby girl heard me sing in the shower again. Only this time, she lay in an infant seat on top of the bathmat. Her tiny legs kicked like usual, but now, she wasn’t inside of me. I managed to get through “All I Ask of You” and half of “Defying Gravity” (you’re welcome to make fun of me!) before she needed me, but as I blew my hair dry a few minutes later, I was warm with the thought that Quinn and I had come full circle.

I hope you’re watching for the full circles in your life, too. Have a wonderful week, everyone!
