There have been so many countdowns in my life lately. For a long time it was the unknown date of when my album would be finished. Then once it was finished and the cd release date was set, it was counting down to the big event and all the prep involved in putting on a live concert. After that, my husband and I were counting down until our moving day of June 1. And now I am counting down to the day that our child will be born.
I am now 33 weeks pregnant and as you know, due dates are not exact. She could come anytime now, but I’m guessing/hoping it will be mid to late August. I have four more weeks of work and then hopefully some time to do more baby and personal preparation.
I also bought myself a new guitar. It is a Martin OM-1E. It is electric/acoustic, spruce, light-weight, and has a beautiful rich sound. I will be performing with it for the first time tomorrow at my regular coffee shop gig. I have been counting down to get this new guitar for over a year now.
Everything comes in good time. I can see that now, as so many of my goals and dreams and wishes have come to me this year.

Congratulations Bahiyyih!
I know exactly how you feel, we’ve been going through the same thing, and are getting close to the end of all kinds of waiting for different things,
in our case it was 5 years for our baby boy! But we got all his paperwork and he’s coming home with us now.
