Brandi Carlile

Last night I went to the Brandi Carlile concert. It was so, so good. It was a perfect summer night - perfect temperature, surrounded by good people and Brandi Carlile was fantastic!

Trinity and Marie brought Oliver and of course I had to hold him. He is such a good baby. Incredibly sweet, great temperament and so dang cute. As I was holding him Brandi sang 'The Mother' and I lost it. It was the first time Ive heard it - at least the first time I remember. As she was singing that song it was like someone jumped into my heart and made it grow 100x.

I joke with Erin that I am also pregnant because my emotions seem to be all over the place. Everything makes me cry. I'm holding Oliver, listing to a song about being a mom and imagining my own life with our little Poppy and I start bawling - and I try to hide it because I don't want people to question my sanity which makes me cry even more. :)

The reality of the situation is I have no clue what I am getting myself into. I have ideas about motherhood and the sacrifices Erin and I will be making and all the love and joy that will be coming too. I want all of it. This song seems to capture so many of my thoughts. Enjoy!




Also, a few pics of me and baby Oliver. And the only thing I am sure about in regards to motherhood, we are getting that pack!
