You make my heart sing

When I am pregnant, I seem to take on part of the personality of the baby I am pregnant with.  Some might say it is hormonal, but I think it has more to do with two spirits sharing one space.  Jake heighten many aspects of my personality, and now his intense type A personality often rivals my own.   James made me anxious...not because he is anxious, but because I could sense his eager daring nature.  But Scarlett, she was more specific.  From almost the very beginning of my pregnancy, I started to really miss singing.  It has been years since I really performed, but suddenly its absence felt like a huge loss in my life.  I literally bawled through an episode of Nashville one night.  Watching others sing became almost physically painful and I felt like a part of myself was missing.  So I started to sing.  And while I may only be belting show tunes with my boys in kitchen, it makes my heart happy.

But I don't think I do it just for me anymore, I think Scarlett wants to sing...will sing...and she will be wonderful.  So for now, I will sing for both of us, until, before I know it, she is singing with me...just like I use to do with my mother.
