I have a lot to write about after a packed weekend, but am having trouble finding the time I need to delve into everything. At some point, it will come!
I did, however, want to quickly share this song, which has brought so much hope to me over the months, let alone the past few days. Now, I know there are a lot of opinions out there about Christina Aguilera, but no matter your stance, I still encourage you to listen to this song written as a lullaby for her own little boy. It is beautiful.
I have talked before about how, in my mind, my babies are waiting for me up on a cloud. They are adorable up there and I meditate on their image often. Please don't think I'm crazy, but at times I talk to them, sing to them, and just let them know that we are all ready for them to tumble on down. Often, it is this song that I sing. Surely, when I can't breathe, it is this image and these words that give me hope. While I imagine my baby inside me as I sing this, I know that there is nothing there . . . yet. Still, I feel that I hold my someday child inside me everyday. There is a connection because I am a mother. Whether or not that baby is in my hands yet or not, I am happy to carry it inside me everyday.
Because of the comfort I have found in these lyrics, this song will be prominent in the nursery my husband and I will someday create together. In my head the entire room is complete. In my head, my painting is complete also. It hangs above the crib with these lyrics inscribed within the bright, whimsical scene. This is a song for my little bean---the words I sing when dreaming about baby, the words I will hopefully sing someday while rubbing my pregnant belly, and the words I am guaranteed to sing countless times as I rock our little bean to sleep.

I hope you find happiness and hope in the words of this lullaby as well. Listen, but get a tissue first!

All I Need
Christina Aguilera
Kissing your lips, kissing you top to toe
Wishing for this, hoping for all you know
Hearing you breathe, you leave and return
Oh how we take, how we give, we learn
Taking my time, seeing the signs, letting you guide me home
Watching you grow, letting you know you are my only
You bring me hope when I can't breathe
You give me love, you're all I need
Slowly I'm holding you closely
You're wrapped in my arms
And you're inside me
Tell you my fears, telling you everything
Telling the truth to you gives me wings
Free with my words, free as a bird
I am flying high
Looking at you, everything new, you are my life
You bring me hope when I can't breathe
You give me love, you're all I need
Slowly I'm holding you closely
So happy to carry you inside me
I'll feed you love and I hope it's enough
To inspire you through suffering,
Holding you up
You bring me hope when I can't breathe
You give me love, you're all I need
Slowly I'm holding you closely
You're wrapped in my arms
And you're inside me
