Ordinary Miracle

This picture
is mind blowing to me


this is how they were
in my belly

I go back and forth between thinking
that its kinda freaky looking
and that it is a really beautiful miracle
that they are here
and that it was possible.

I mostly swing towards the miraculous side.

I also think that Brittany
(the photographer)
is miraculous
for turning
my black
chub hiding sweater,
undone hair, and almost no makeup
Into this,
which I love


My mother in law asks me constantly
"Do you feel special yet?"
"Do you feel chosen?"


The answer is a resounding
Yes
Every day

I feel constantly that my life is a miracle
not of my own making
and
I am grateful
and humbled
and hopeful
