You got it,  not a date with my hunk of a husband Steve, but a cozy beautiful alone time in the forest with a blanket on the floor, a couple of snacks and Justin.

Ok… enough teasing.  Justin is the beauty in my belly.

Last weekend I was at “Le domaine de la Voliaire” which is a nice retreat place out in Saint Jean de Matha.

I went with a group of fun woman.  On friday night we talked the way women do when there’s porto, chips, sweets, a fireplace and no man around.  The later it got, the louder the laughs.

The next day I was talked out, so I ditched them all except for one.   She and  I made a pact.  “I love you, but don’t talk to me”.  No talking during the walking.   We ended up in the forest on some sloppy terrain with a nice view.  My friend found a mini hut, made out of branches and twigs.  I left her there to enjoy her scrapbook, her crayons, flowers, bird wings and the dead insects that she picked up along the way.

I couple of steps higher, I settled on a little clearing in the middle of the pine trees.  I lay down my blanket and  I took in the sun.  The smell was a mixture of pine and wet ground in the summer.  It was busy  with birds  and squirrels everywhere.  I didn’t mind, I fell asleep.

When I woke up,  I put both my hands on my belly and I set about to survey the internal activities.  Sure enough Justin was awake.  He was just as chipper as I was.   It was beautiful, I was all smiles and he was having a party.   I can’t wait to meet him in person, It’s amazing how well we already get along.
