I was singing "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'" at the top of my lungs during my drive to teach this morning. Shit-eating grin every time I looked out the window. Wiggling in my seat during office hours. And then Michael Buble's "Haven't Met You Yet" came on the radio on the drive home, and I realized that song is all about surviving miscarriage and IF and getting your forever baby and whatever Michael, it totally is okay? And you might not have realized this, but nearly 30-year-old wannabe-baby-mamas driving Volvos on the BQE are totally the intended audience for this song. And for the singing and car-dancing inspired thereby.
And I'm sure part of the reason for my case of the jollies is blue skies and sunshine and mourning doves building their nests on my window sills (until Lawyer Guy notices them and whips out the broom). But the other part is this:
Peak! On CD 19! Ovaries, I love you! Body, you're forgiven! Husband, you don't realize it yet, but your bones will be jumped tonight! Baby, I can't wait to meet you in December!In the back of my mind, I'm adding just a little to the mental file of "Why It Would Be Less Than Ideal to Get Pregnant This Month" (otherwise known as, "How To Comfort A Menstruating Woman")
But screw all that, for now. I'm going to let Mr Buble sing us out.
love that song!!! Jump those bones!

ReplyDeletePretty day, decent shot at pregnancy, a reliable volvo to drive to work this morning... what more could a dead-ender and a park-sloper want on nice March AM? Maybe I am even INFP, too, this morning...

I know that this gorgeous weather has really done a face-lift on my mood,too. Walking home from work every day this week has been a total treat.
I never thought of that song as applicable to TTC until now....and I'm sure from now on I won't be able to think of it as anything other than that! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that song and belt it out to this kid all the time! My fingers are firmly crossed for a December baby for you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Sloper!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE MB. . . seeing him in concert in three weeks. I'll think of you and the BFP you'll have by then!
ReplyDeletePlease throw some of that good mood my way ;o)
ReplyDeleteAlas, we should have decent weekend weather ... maybe that will put a spring in all of our steps?! Hope your hubby is enjoying this spring fever he is being treated to!
just sent you an email...
ReplyDeleteI'm here from "baby blakely's" blog. I never put 2 & 2 together with this song and baby-making. I'm a little slow ;). But now this song has a WHOLE new meaning and I love love love it!!!
