I’m in my home office/guest room, listening to My Bloody Valentine, burning a lovely Tocca candle, surrounded by cats, harboring a fetus, trying to get in a position where I can’t sense the heartburn.
Today dawned nice and rainy. I could hear the neighbor’s heavy wind chimes softly moving outside. I went downstairs at nine and made a bowl of raisin bran flakes with a sliced peach, and a small cup of coffee.
We spent the day just doing errands and housework/yardwork stuff. I am moving rather slowly. I borrowed my neighbor’s bundt pan for the blueberry coffee cake I am making early tomorrow morning. I pruned back roses. We cleaned up the garage and visited the recycling center. Put ceramic knobs on the baby’s dresser drawers. Opened a gift from some friends: a sweet teddy bear and a DVD of “Happiest Baby on the Block.”
I made an iTunes playlist for my baby shower filled with songs that kind of make me teary-eyed. This may have been a bad idea.
And no one
Is ever gonna love you more than I do.
No one’s gonna love you more than I do.
And so on.
teary-eyed
I would love to see the playlist.
Re: teary-eyed
Sample selection:
“Lovely Day” Bill Withers

So you’ve got a bundt in the oven?

There’s this lovely song you should have by Julie Doiron called “Waiting For Baby.” Let me know if you want me to send it to you! Here are the lyrics:
We’ve been waiting so long for you
It feels like you will be here real soon
I know I can hardly wait this whole thing through
Everybody seems real happy too
I can tell ’cause they all have smiles for you
And we know there’s so much we will do
And when you finally come to us my dear
I hope we will be everything you need
So we know there will be many sleepless nights
And I worry that I won’t do things right
And I hope you will love us with all your might
Little one don’t you worry about a thing
We may be new but we’ll do our best to see
That you will get all the love you need
And when you finally come to us my dear
I hope we will be everything you need
I would love to hear it!
