Isn't it interesting and wonderful how we can be so incredibly blessed by the unexpected gift of children when we're not looking for it? My pregnancy was unexpected (but we weren't NOT trying). But the birth of my daughter and her incredible self has been the joy of my life. I'm glad to see you don't regret (much) your decision to (temporary?) break from the music scene. Hi phaenix_ash!

I kept up the gig until she was about 18 months old, even did some gigs while hugely pregnant, but after awhile I just needed a break. It's not something I regret (much). I think my path lies elsewhere now and I'm quite glad to be on it with my daughter in tow. :) Well, I had been a working singer/songwriter in the southwest for some years when I was blessed with a completely unexpected pregnancy.

Your explanation makes great sense. You say you were a musician at one time - what happened? I ask because I took piano lessons for 7 years from elementary school through the end of high school, then completely dropped it. I regret that decision greatly; every time I see someone play the piano I feel like I've made a mistake in letting my piano playing fall by the wayside. I can hardly read music anymore. I'll be getting in to the paint and play doh with my daughter this summer (she'll be 3 in May). And I always read to her and she loves to dance. So I anticipate that these activities will allow her to develop her own inner life. I will not stifle her. Thank you for your wonderful comment!

It all went well - my son was born at 30 weeks by c-section in August, and we were released after 7 weeks in hospital. What I'm trying to do is to write it out of my system, and perhaps help others who think all hope is gone. Look forward to seeing you again! hi! thanx for your kind comment – just to rectify things: my blog is a retrospective.
