Update June 3rd, 2007
This bracelet has been in my retired section
for almost a year and although I continued to receive emails
about making it again, I never could as the beads were no longer
available. Well, as providence would have it, I have another
strand of these beads from NellieMae and if you'd like this new
one (while it's around), let me know. It is most definitely a
favorite.
$229.99

There are movies in my mental archive that
mean more to me than others. Either they have been during a time
in my life that it caused a lasting imprint or I just related to
the movie in a special way. The movie for this song was
both...when I first saw She's Having a Baby I was
pregnant and of course that would make a lasting impression on
any young woman...but this was the first time I was
pregnant.
It took Jeff and me a while to get
pregnant...many procedures later we had Nathaniel...then several
miscarriages and then Natalie came...after that it seemed all
kinks had been worked out and Nicole and Nadine found their way
into our lives. With these four we have been blessed beyond
measure and our hearts have forever been changed. In the deepest
way possible.
The song has everything to do with being a
mother and the role that the father has in it. How he stands
"outside" this woman's work in delivery and then
begins the work of the father. It's such an endearing song. I
remember watching Jeff as he stood beside me in that delivery
room and he was so strong, no tears, and then as he saw that
little face for the first time...the tears ran down his face. As
his wife and his best friend... it meant more to me at that
moment than any other moment in our time.
I must be in a mood. I don't know? :) I'm not even sure where
I'm going with this... but this was what was going on in my head
as this was being created. I just seemed to look at my life
today. My children are healthy. My husband is so good to me.
What more could one ask for?
Find those things you are most grateful for and love them.
I haven't done purples in a very long time. When these beads
came up in auction (NellieMae, Australia) I sent the link
to several of my close friends asking their opinion. Of course
it was a hands down "EXCELLENT" for purchase so I bid and won.
:)
They have so much depth, color, and
intrigue...their color ranges from amethyst to creamy
pink...bits of "candy cane discs" on the surface...raised
dots...raku and goldstone stringer... how beautiful...I really
love them.

Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman's work,
This woman's world, this woman's world,
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking
Of all the things I should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.
Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.
Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.
(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)
I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking
Of all the things we should've said,
That were never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should've given,
But I didn't.
Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.
