Her love of music...

It shouldn't come as a surprise, but my precious little daughter adores music.

Yesterday evening we traveled to beautiful Staunton, Virginia with dear friends to see Babies, The Documentary. (I highly recommend it.) The majority of the film is absent of anything but the sound of the infants. Occasionally though, a well placed song caries you through a scene. My little Bea would come to life in these moments; dancing, rolling and kicking... it blessed my heart. Here is the trailer...



Another dear friend has recently introduced me to the music of  JJ Heller. Many of you know by now that I hold a deep appreciation for lullabies, and JJ just happens to have written a beautifully scripted song that my sweet girl loves.

Beatrice, "may you dream of lovely things... and wake to find them real. The love of God is evident in the miracle of you."

Happy 23 Week Birthday, Little One. I love you.

Goodbye May, Hello Planning

May is coming to an end tomorrow evening and I couldn't be more grateful. I am thankful every year for the lessons learned, but oh-so-glad to be through a month filled with painful memories. 

As the month of May has passed, this pregnancy has continued to progress. I'll be 23 weeks on Tuesday, which means it's time to stop dreaming and start acting. 

I am thrilled at the little details that are coming together, (I'll try to upload pictures soon), but I would love some assistance, once again, on some of the bigger items. 

My little Bea's bedding is serving as the "design focal point". I have narrowed down my paint colors to the ones below, and I would love your vote on the poll to the side. Keep in mind that computer colors can be funny. I did choose these colors in the store, so don't worry. (If you click on the image, you'll get a much larger version.)

The pink is thrown in there due to the slight whispers of pink throughout the pattern. If you look closely you'll see the pink in the pig and the stripes in the carousel awning...

Since the Topsy Turvy fabric could become overwhelming, I'd like to keep the glider rather neutral. With your help I believe we've settled on the Yellow Fallon Rug... that is, unless we stumble upon something better in person. Now, I'd appreciate your assistance again in helping me decide upon the upholstery for the glider Baby Beatrice and I will spend many a night in. Again, there's a poll on the right. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your votes, thoughts, comments, messages and loving words. Having so many share in the joys and sorrows of this journey has brought me so much happiness.
