Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

whomp bang

He's getting stronger by the day, sometimes I think by the minute. By Thanksgiving I think family and friends will be able to feel him on the outside. He seems to find my lower belly the funest part of things. It's no longer a little flutter it's an all out whomp stomp now.

I'm eating like a starving person. Tonight at dinner I wiped out my plate and even though I felt gorged on food I felt like I could continue eating. I really hope my better sense continues to find me or I'll look like Violet in Willy Wonka soon.

Oh the things my husband says.

On the way home from our ultrasound showing the little wing dang doodle Husband and I talked about having a boy. I asked him if would have been as happy if he'd found out it was a girl as he was when he found out he was a He. His response?

"Well it's sorta like really wanting an Xbox 360. I mean you really want it but you find out you're getting a Playstation 3 instead. I mean, well, it's still really cool and you can do neat stuff with it so you're still happy."

I wait for a few moments then ask him "So, you're comparing our son to an Xbox 360?"

"I can't talk about anything with you!"
