The burden of growth

I've been reflecting on the pears on our pear tree. The weight of the fruit places a burden on the tree but the tree doesn't mind. Each year it will continue to bear fruit.

Rachel is uncomfortable. It's the last stretch. I'm excited to meet the new addition to this family. For some reason, I'm more worried about this baby than the others. Will they be healthy? The scans look good but you'll never know until the child is at least toddler.

I'm excited.
