I found this gorgeous piece of art here. I think it's beautiful and all the other work this artist does is fabulous too. I love the colors, the flow and the textures that I'm sure are there because of how she creates her art. Actually she creates it in a different way than I've ever heard/read about before. The title of this piece is Mariposa, which in Spanish means butterfly. Isn't that true, a pregnant woman is like a butterfly, changing and growing? Also the life she carries within...cocooned waiting for 'it's' turn to spread their wings. This piece really touched my heart when I saw it. Actually, it makes me cry when I look at it, that's how much it speaks to me at this moment in my life.
OK, enough of the sappy stuff and the soul bearing.
So ... we will not be finding out the gender of our twins this Monday as expected. I'm heart broken over it. Turns out that with good things, bad things happen too. This semester Jason's adviser took him off of the TA (teacher's assistant) payroll and put him on the GA (graduate assistant or research assistant) payroll. While this is GREAT move for him, in that he now can focus on his research and get done a little faster...it came with a down side. Our insurance changed...and my beloved, wonderful, amazing doctor does not accept the new insurance and is not willing to change that.
So, once again, I'm forced to switch doctors in the middle of a pregnancy - at least this time it's not at 7 months and on a horrible note! Seriously though, I've been heart broken and depressed about this since finding out. To top it off, now we don't have the sonogram on Monday to look forward to either. Our (previous) doctor is sending us a list of doctors she would recommend - hopefully we'll get that today - after which we'll be able to make new appointments and find out what the schedule will be for 'finding out'.
Send some good karma my way!
This is another one of my favorite artists on Esty.
That is a beautiful piece. I really like the butterfly imagery, both for mother and baby(ies). And the more I think about it, the more I'm digging the idea of a little girl named Mariposa.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your ultrasound will have to be put off, and that you have to find a new OB. I wish I had suggestions.
Bummer about having to switch doctors. Maybe your new doctor will be even better!! It will be a blessing in disguise.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I swear I've seen that painting before! I just can't remember where.
I saw the title of your blog and thought the worst. Glad to hear it was not as bad as I thought. I have delievered each kids with a different Dr. I know the health care pain. Good luck finding a new one.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry things are not totally going your way. Good luck finding a Dr.
ReplyDeleteAnd....I lvoe that painting too. Did you buy it for yourself? You deserve a little present.
Ouch! That is hard. I sincerely hope that you find a new Dr. that you love, and that will love and care for you and the babies. I believe that will happen. The picture is just beautiful! And you are beautiful and lucky to be at this season in your life. It is so good that you recognize the beauty and miracle of a pregnant woman. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. We are sending good karma to you.
