i've been noticing that my vocal chords seem more relaxed and that my voice has even--possibly--gotten a little better. so i googled "singing voice pregnant" and found this article which i quite enjoyed.
i have had a very strong urge to sing since i wrote that post about lullabies however long ago, but it wasn't until today that i noticed little girly actually responds to my singing. i can feel her move really slowly (like rolling or floating) when i sing, versus if i stop she'll make more jarring movements (like jabs and kicks). this is all really fun and interesting to me.
i have a confession though, that i feel absolutely awful about. i have been intending to play the piano religiously "as soon as i have time" partly for the endorphins it raises in me, and partly for her benefit... but i haven't at all. it's horrible. but then i wonder if getting her used to the totally out-of-tune pitch of my piano would throw her off... i want to encourage good pitch, not train her to recognize off-key tones! lol. so then i wonder if it isn't better NOT to play. but i could always play my guitar, really. no excuse for that one.
i listen to so much music though, and i sing to most of it too, so i'm hoping that makes up for something. i figure there is no way she won't be a music addict anyway, considering both matt and i are obsessed with it and possess reasonable capabilities to produce it as well. the only toys i have on her registry that aren't musical are a set of blocks (which could arguably be used to bang together)!
i decided today that i am going to make her a "welcome home" CD with all the soothing music i have listened to through the pregnancy... maybe it will help keep her calm and feeling safe.
also: i think we *might* have settled on a name. gods, i hope so! this one feels right and the numerology is perfect...
