Tyler and I decided on a playlist of tunes for our baby love to jam out to. It was amazing to see how much she responded to the music. We sat in the afternoon light watching my belly shift and roll from one song to the next, enjoying her little performance.
Feeling her reaction to the music, I thought of all the times Tyler has danced with me around the floor of our house while singing the tune outloud, of how learning to twirl with my growing belly between us has made it awkward and beautiful at the same time, and how this tiny girl has been a part of every sway and every dip... And soon enough we’ll be taking a spin across the living room with her in our arms.
I dream of the day.
