When Lucian was born, my astrology teacher sent me his natal chart. Several astrologers I know had been watching the stars for weeks, awaiting the birth. I know just enough astrology, and am just enough a new parent, that I could look at the chart, look up a few things, and freak myself out. A very little bit of knowledge is dangerous, at least to oneself.
Yesterday I was looking at the chart again and freaking out, so I emailed my teacher about scheduling a March appointment for the family. I told her how I was scaring myself and what some of my concerns are.
Today, visiting our favorite cafe for lunch following a pediatrician's appointment, we saw my teacher. Adonis and I walked in, Adonis carrying the baby in his car seat. We were immediately greeted by several people we knew. My teacher came over to us in the midst of the whirlwind and said, "I didn't even see you guys, but I saw the baby and knew immediately who he was." She gave me a big hug and said loudly into my ear, "don't be stupid; just look at him." Then she leaned over Lucian and, like a fairy godmother from a fairy tale, whispered words for only him to hear. He watched her intently, and when she was finished, he closed his eyes and slept.

I hope all your anxieties and fears, and those of your wonderful husband, are washed away as you watch the peace in your son's face as he sleeps. May your rest be as sound and healing as his. Again, congrats on the little one, and worry not about what 'may' be, but enjoy what 'is'. There's plenty of today to keep you busy until tomorrow. :-)
You're a mom. Worry is what we do. ;)
He looks so peaceful - may he bring you your full share of joys in the years to come.
And may be many other Imbolcs to celebrate together.
