A blessing ~ Starting to Show

I have a friend from high school, who is now a blogger, Mrs. Shortcake over at 'The Haus'. Long story short, she's been attempting to become pregnant and glory hallelujah she is carrying a little one! Check out her blog to follow her journey to motherhood.

On that note, no pun intended...she does enjoy inspirational music and I think I found the perfect song for her heading into her 13th week. I think any mother would enjoy it. Click the link/title to go to CBC3 which has a ton of Jill Barber songs including this one. You can stream it. (Apparently the link I had earlier didn't work..darn).

Starting to Show

Jill Barber

From the top of my head
To my tippy toes
I am in love
And it's starting to show

I want you to know
But don't know where to begin
I can outline my feelings
But I can't fill them in

Oh I am in love
And it's starting to grow
With its roots firmly planted
In the earth below

It's true what they say
You will reap what you sew
You grow stronger and stronger
In time

It's so easy to tell
There's an apple in my eye
I can't hide it so well
So I don't even try

You are an arrow
And my heart the bullseye
You're a sure shot baby
Every time

I was walking in a circle
Staring down at my feet
When I met you half way
It felt strangely complete

Had a melody to play
But it kept missing the beat
Now I could carry that tune all the way
To the moon, to the moon

Oh my tongue hits the floor
At the thought of your touch
My heart next to yours
Skips double dutch

There isn't much more
That a girl could ask for
Please and thank you
Very much

Oh I am in love
And it's starting to show
From the tip of my cap
To the bottom of my sole

So tuck me sweet
And dance me slow
Get me high
And dip me low

I am in love
And I want you to know
It grows wiser and stronger
In time

As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be...

I'm so excited that I can finally post this, but my friend SH finally gave birth to her baby and..it's a boy! After 14 hours of hard labour and one cesarean later, she's the proud mother to her second little one. They arrived home either yesterday or today and I'm sure she's not getting much sleep. Her birthday is the 6th, so what a gift to have!

Please send your prayers out for mom, dad, little sister KH, and baby SH. Prayers that KH has a safe and fast recovery, that dad gets some sleep, and that KH enjoys and grows to love and protect her baby brother until the end of time.

Now if only 7 months could pass quicker so I can meet him! Dang distance!

RB and I are very excited as he's only the second boy in our group of friends--everyone has girls! Maybe I can teach SH to fish when he's old enough :) He'd like that.

How about you? Do your friends have a lot of babies? or if you have kids that are older now, were you one of the first? the last to have them? All I know is that my ovaries are jealous.
