Mira and I ended up spending our Valentine’s Day day together. She had two PINK eyes, and I had been up all night long the night before with HEART BURN. We were quite the pair!
Since Mira was feeling well besides the gory looking eyes, we just enjoyed hanging out together and doing errands around the neighborhood. Lately, she has been really into feeling my belly and will sit with me for half hour stretches, just talking and singing to her baby brother or sister. Sometimes the songs go something like this:
My Baby Brother or Baby Sister, you know I love you! I lo-o-o-o-o-ve you! I cannot wait to see you when you’re born in the Springtimes. We will wrap you up like a tiny burrito-o-o-o-! But, please stop making our Mama sick and have to run to the bathroom.
(So thoughtful on all accounts!) Well, it’s either that or Lady Gaga or “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” or “Puff the Magic Dragon”.
Mira squeals and smiles each time the baby kicks, which, let me assure, is often. It seems to be as endless a source of fascination to feel the baby move as it is for her mama.
In the evening after the love song serenading and love kicks, lots of love notes got passed around. My family gave me the traditional chocolates and flowers as gifts… only my family truly knows me. Dark chocolate. And these flowers were printed on one of my most favorite Liberty of London patterns. They had me swooning!
The pink eye still rages, but I was definitely feeling the love.

Ooooh I love how she is feeling the love already for her brother or sister. Even though you grils were not up to par- it turned out to be a good day to spend the day with the one you love. xo

Very sweet! Funny! I had heart burn the other night and couldn’t sleep Monday night either. Can’t wait to see your little buritto. Oh, and yummy looking chocolates.

That is such a lovely song Mira sings to her baby brother/sister! So adorable. I hope one day sunnyboy will get to sing songs just like this to my tummy. Hope your heartburn is better now.
