Or how taking a shower, baking some cookies, and cooking some of Granny Franny's pasta a la gorgonzola to freeze changed yesterday from a bad day to a good one.
I don't think it hurt to imagine little 10-year-old love muffin Tris asking his mom to please cuddle a little with him before going to bed (see comments from last post). And it didn't hurt that I have the best, most understanding, most loving, most dedicated husband on earth.
I've been really interested in cooking the past week, which is really unlike me. Last night, Jim was reading one of the books he got for Christmas and said I should read something, but I had already read all of the (3) cookbooks in our apartment! I got up this morning and cooked us an egg, onion, cheese, avocado, fake sausage breakfast. I think this might be nesting?
Seamus moved around like crazy yesterday, which also helped my mood a lot. This morning, I think he even moved in reaction to my voice. I said "Good morning, Seamus!" while rubbing my belly and he moved his butt around a little bit. I don't think I've ever wanted something more than to see his little face and body in the world. Sigh.

Seamus is shaking his booty already! He must get that from Dancin' Danny!
Glad you are feeling better...I know the last few weeks are the toughest (esp when still working, as you said)...
aw greta, it is so nice going to a place to find out where you and jim are mentally and exist there in your world for a few moments. i really miss you guys. wish we were there with you guys to bring in the new year.
the last weeks of my pregnancy with leila were the toughest weeks of all. it's impossible not to think about it because you really are so ready to see that little munchkin. take it easy, i think you are doing well by doing stuff like cooking and watching tv. that kind of stuff makes the days go by faster.
i don't know if we mentioned how many times we thought leila was finally coming and all those times were false alarms. by the time i was in actual labor, i was in complete denial that it was actually happening.
we are very proud of you and jim. hope to see you in january. i'll let you know when i hear anything.

He WILL know your voice ...and Jim's, it is totally uncanny and amazing.
After Wes was born, I cupped that little heel in my hand and growled, "I KNOW this wee foot, buddy! SO glad to have it on the outside!"
Love
Auntie T
