(My favorite part is the stuffed monkey I am employing as a head rest)
Today, I found myself with another strange study position: the pregnant belly as book prop. I tried to use Photobooth to document the method:
If you can see from the picture, I am currently using my belly to balance my books on, and as leverage for writing and taking notes in margins (I'm a big believer in marginalia, which means Coleman and I rarely, rarely share books!). The funniest part about it, though, is that I hadn't really noticed I was doing it until I was trying to write a margin note and Smalls kicked so hard that the book jumped and I smeared what I was writing.
The picture may look a little odd, but it's an odd I like. I like that my life is filled (to the brim!) with work both for my mind and my body. I don't always remember it, but I am truly lucky to have both of these things. I have a life that is filled with awe and wonder at the truths I get to spend my time reading and thinking and writing and praying about. And I have a life filled with awe and wonder both at the amazing child I get to watch growing daily in front of me and the miraculous child I get to feel growing daily inside me.
God is so very, very good.
I loved using my belly as a book holder. It worked really well. Good job mom.
