Ashlyn's Lullaby

Ever since Ashlyn was born, I've been trying to find a lullaby for her that I really like.  When she was 8 weeks old, I posted this in one of my blogs:

My new obsession is finding some songs for Ashlyn. I'm not into the typical lullabies that the mobiles and swing have. I want something different for my little girl. I think I found it. Well, it's not really different but it's cute and it made me tear up. What do you think? Is this a good bed time song?
Goodnight My Angel

While I still really like that song, I think I found one that is better.  I love this song and it was right in front of me...I just forgot about it until recently.  The first time I heard this song was on So You Think You Can Dance. 


The shadows are waltzing
The moon beams are calling
Like a dream I am falling into
Silver threads lined with dew twinkling stars seem
To shine just for you

Behind your eyes
Are endless blue skies
You travel places I want to come to
Each breath that you breathe is a brush stroke
That leads me to you

So, sleep
Fall into night’s indigo hue
Believe me it’s true
There’s nothing that I would not do
For my dream is sweet dreams for you

It seems far away
but there once was a day
It was grey in a world without you
To this heart like a doll from above
A miracle of your love found me
(this is my favorite part of the song)

So, sleep
Fall into night’s indigo hue
Believe me it’s true
There’s nothing that I would not do
For my dream is sweet dreams for you

So hush-a-bye
And don’t you cry
Sweetly dreaming, little baby

Yes, sleep
Lose yourself in night’s indigo hue
Believe me it’s true
There’s nothing that I would not do
For my dream is sweet dreams
Yes, my dream is sweet dreams for you


What do you think?  Is this a good song for Ashlyn?

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

So What Wednesday

So what if I have been converted to a snow hater. I usually love the snow.  I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything.  I loved having snow days.  I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes.  I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen. I don't love it anymore. Snow days?  I don't get snow days.  I don't work.  I don't get to have work or school canceled.  I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow.  What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids. And I also get a husband who is gone.  He plows snow in the Winter.  Go figure.  He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow.  So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also h...
