A Haiku – And why I now look like a stalker

He's concentrating very hard.
I was having a terrible time coming up with a post for today. It wasn’t a good pregnant day for me. I woke up exhausted, nauseated, irritated…but I knew I wanted to write today. Or at least read my favorite blogs. I decided to read first, and hoped that someone would throw an idea my way (or have a meme I could participate in, therefore relieving me of all creative responsibility).
I opened my Reader, and I went straight for Adventures in Babywearing, where one of my most favorite bloggers in the universe writes. Stephanie Precourt is not only an incredible writer, but an even more incredible mother….she’s just one of those incredible human beings. She never fails to inspire me, and the fact that she’s spiritual just makes me love her even more. She writes her own blog, and she also contributes many other places (I’m not telling you where; you’ll have to go visit her amazing blog to find out more…and see pictures of her gorgeous children). And to make this woman even more glorious, she’s an absolutely prolific photographer. In short, I want to be Stephanie Precourt (just kidding…sort of). Okay, seriously, I just admire her and find such hope in the positive way she leads her life. Stephanie is a beautiful soul.
Now that I sound like a stalker, and Steph will probably block me from commenting, let me move on!
So anyway, Steph wrote a Haiku today on her blog and encouraged her readers to write one as well. You could leave them in the comments section or post one on your own blog. Of course, I chose to put that bad boy on my blog! I was thrilled that I had a post!
The picture of Henry bowling is the inspiration for this Haiku, which you’ll obviously see once you read it (wow, redundant anyone?):
Summer fun inside
Escape the stifling heat
With the ones we love
WOW. That was juvenile in a way that embarrasses me, and probably you. But I do encourage you to do a haiku, too! Go over to Steph’s blog, and leave her a haiku. She’s giving away a gift to one reader that contributes, and she’s picking out the gift at one of her favorite local businesses. Which means it’s going to be awesome.
I’ll be back tomorrow, and I promise my post won’t be an ode to another blogger….
(She’s just so great, though! Too much? Yeah, too much.)
First of all, you just about made me cry with what you said! And I am so excited you played along!

Hi Amelie– I’m a total stalker of like 10 bloggers (including adventures in babywearing AND Kelle Hampton… ha!). Anyway, thanks for coming by my blog. Since you’re not going to be pregnant in March, would you be interested in an advance copy of my book? I’m looking for bloggers who are interested in reading it and (if they like it) reviewing it and I’d love to get you on the list. no pressure!!!
