Songs For My Baby

 When I was younger we went on a lot of road trips with my mom and while in the

car we would blare the cd player and listen to all sorts of music. I grew up w/ Crosby Stills and Nash, James Taylor, Carly Simon, Sting, ELO, Queen, Rod Stewart and many many more.

Sometimes a song would play and my mom would be singing and then all of the sudden start

crying. We would look at her like she was crazy and she would just say in a sobbing voice

"this song reminds me of my babies and I just love you guys so much!!!''

To be honest, it always used to embarrass me!

Well now I see where she was coming from.

Sometimes I will hear a song and I just get teary eyed because it reminds me of

my baby and how she is my whole world and how much I love her.

SO here are a list of some songs w/ lyrics that express how I feel about my little girl.

 

James Taylor-The Water is Wide

 

The water is wide
I can't cross over
And neither have
I wings to fly
Build me a boat
That can carry two
And both shall row
My love and I

There is a ship
And she sails the sea
She's loaded deep
As deep can be
But not so deep
As the love I'm in
I know not how
I sink or swim

Oh love is handsome
And love is fine
The sweetest flower
When first it's new
But love grows old
And waxes cold
And fades away
Like summer dew
Build me a boat
That can carry two
And both shall row
My love and i
And both shall row
My love and I

 

 

Carly Simon-Haven't Got Time for The Pain

 

All those crazy nights when I cried myself to sleep
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore
'Cause I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

You showed me how, how to leave myself behind
How to turn down the noise in my mind
Now I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the pain
I haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

 

Return to Pooh Corner- Kenny Loggins

 

Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood

So help me if you can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
From here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear

Help me if you can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
I swear that the old bear whispered "Boy welcome home"

Believe me if you can
I've finally come back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
What do you know
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh

 

Forever Young-Rod Stewart

 

May the good lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
With a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you'll always remain
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young
Forever young

And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
For, forever young, forever young

 

 

Those are just a few of the songs on my list. I know that I'm destined to

sob at one of these songs when I'm driving w/ my grown babies and they will probably look at me like I'm a crazy person too!

Sorry mommy for being embarrassed that you were crying over us kiddies.

I don't think your nucking futs anymore!!!:)

Thoughts on #2

Having Lily is a pure joy. The most fun I have had in my life is being her mom.

I remember when I was holding her in the hospital I automatically started thinking about having

another baby. I had such a high being in the hospital with this new little miracle and I knew I wanted to do it again, and again and again!:)

Things have not changed. I want to have more babies. And I want them close in age.

My mom had 3 kids in 3 1/2 years. I loved being close to my brothers.

However, because of our past struggles with infertility, Im not sure

how easy it is going to be to get pregnant again. We have our 3 embryos that we will for

sure transfer and hopefully we will get at least one baby out of it.

The weird thing about it  is that I don't have anxiety about trying to get pregnant again.

I feel just so at peace with everything right now. I love our little family and its so fun

giving all my attention to the one baby I have. Ben and I are not doing anything to prevent

a pregnancy so if I end up pregnant on my own we will be pleasantly surprised.

My plan is to transfer our embryos after Lily turns one year. That way I will have had a

full year of just enjoying my little girl without "trying" to get pregnant. 

I loved being pregnant and I love being a mom so I will be excited when it is time for us

to have another baby. I can see why my mother in law had 9 kids!!! :)

 

 

Here is the latest pic of my darling little Lily playing in her bouncer.

 

  How could I not want more!!!!
