Birth Art Show in Carrboro

On Friday, we enjoyed our playgroup and went to lunch after it. Ezra wasn't much into eating veggies and tofu, asian noodles or vegetarian spring roll. She basically just drank water and ate some of c's rice. We hung around to run some errands. We paid off our cell phone bill, bought dad a gift and saw a movie.

We came home to find dad sick in bed with food poisoning. Very sad dad. He took a shower while we got dressed for the birth art show. Baby's north carolina grammy came to the birth art show with us while dad stayed in bed to feel better.

Here they are reading a book together.

The birth art show was various local artists displaying their art related to giving birth. There were quilts, belly casts, photos of birth and the moments before and after, sketches of pregnant women, iron sculptures of bellies large and full, plus poems and stories. One poem that i could relate to was about selling the house where a person had given birth. We sold the house where ezra was born just this past summer. Before closing on it, i sat down with baby e to tell her the story of her birth in the exact spot where she came into the world. Dad filmed us.
