Dreaming

I have been dreaming a lot about our baby this week. Ever since I read that our baby can hear us now, he/she seems so much more real, and I find myself thinking about and talking to him/her throughout the day. This afternoon I was listening to an album that Rusty gave me for Christmas (while reading through my syllabi for this semester's classes). As you know, I LOVE Sara Groves. Between my brother and my husband, I was blessed with her entire collection for Christmas, and among them was Station Wagon: Songs for New Parents. I imagine that most of the songs will mean a lot more to me once Baby Bronco joins us in July, but when "Fast Asleep" came on, I could almost picture our baby sleeping peacefully...

When the night comes
polar bear cubs sleep in their caves
calves on the farm sleep in the barn
warm in the hay
nothing in this world is quite as sweet
as a tiny baby fast asleep
I could watch you to the end of time
especially when that baby is mine
kittens and pups eyes all closed up
snuggle near mom
robin's and wren's chicks have been fed
sleep until dawn
nothing in this world is quite as sweet
as a tiny baby fast asleep
I could watch you to the end of time
especially when that baby is mine

SO sweet. I love you, Baby, and I can't wait to meet you!
