Most blossoms appear in spring. My flowers bloom in the dead of winter. That is because my fertility cycle seemed to be linked to the life-giving warmth of spring. Let me explain: Spring 2000: I discovered I was pregnant , only to have a miscarriage a few weeks later. The baby would have been a December/January baby.
Spring 2001: I am pregnant once again, this time to give birth to Alexis on Jan. 13, 2002.
Spring 2004: Good grief. It's spring and I am once again pregnant, and have Brandon on Jan. 7, 2005.
I don't understand this springtime phenomenon. Maybe it's because my hubby is also a January birthday (today he's 39).
In fact, the branches of my family tree are ripe with January birthdays: my dad, a niece, a brother-in-law, two cousins, a first cousin once removed (he's the oldest son of one of the cousins with a January birthday).
Don't get me wrong. I'm so grateful for my wintertime blossoms. They are the joy of my existence.
I just wish they didn't bloom so close to Christmas. :-)
PS: The carnation is the January birth flower.
