This one is sticking around. I hope for a long time.

HCG is climbing, and I've been told to stop worrying. It's possible the nurse who told me that is not a mother.

Next stop, ultrasound in a few weeks. Until then, I have a few other things to keep me occupied.

As in, Little Bird has decided he knows how to match pitch. Maybe this seals my fate as a complete music geek, but I totally shed tears of pride and happiness. He isn't even 16 months old, and he can sing back three pitches accurately to me.

Be still my heart.

My oldest is singing, and my youngest is hanging in there. I am a lucky mama.

@sweetbabboo DATE:Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 10:22:00 PM EDT Yay... for baby and big brother.

Maybe CC can teach Linus to sing. So far all he has is the first note to Frosty the Snowman and the first note to a song we sing about being patient. He is digging They Might Be Giants and Elizabeth Mitchell so at least he's got taste.
