Three things:

1. Yesterday it snowed here ALL day.  It was perhaps the fluffiest, most fake looking real snow I've ever seen--in my entire life.  It was beautiful.

2. It's kind of a long story, but a couple weeks ago I heard our school's band playing and recognized the music as  "you know, that song that goes: When we've been here ten thousand years..."  Gabe was quick to point out that I was in fact talking about Amazing Grace.  Maybe you've heard of it.  Still hoping this is caused by pregnancy.

3.  Today I hadn't felt much of our little miss moving around, so after lunch I began talking to her.  It occurred to me that it was probably too quiet to make her stir.  I really wanted her to stir.  So I rolled up some paper and put one end of the tube on my belly and spoke into the other end.  I urged her to wake up and move around for probably 5 minutes...and it worked! She moved all around for a good five minutes after that.  After that I felt a little guilty for waking her, but it was also a great feeling to --in a way-- interact with her. 

Merry Christmas!

b - no shame in not knowing the name of a song right away. these things are hard. like math - today my mom asked me if 1/3 +1/3 +1/3 was 1 and i said no :) so sad. frankie's fault. because my math skills were fine 12 weeks ago. love you, k

Ok, when you said the words to the song, I was thinking Crash Test Dummies. I hate to tell you this, but some things never get better after pregnancy! :)

I love the creative way you chose to talk to Bobbie. I can picture you sitting there with your rolled up paper trying to wake her up!

Thanks for the encouragement, ladies. I haven't tested my math skills recently, I'm a little afraid of what I might find!
