Aw, Man…
I’m sure these lyrics were written with the intent of being a sappy love song that gets lots of airplay on nightly radio dedication call-in shows, but pregnant-hormonal-gal that I am these days, it fits perfectly for the feelings of expectant parents awaiting the birth of their little one –
Lyrics Copyright © Shania Twain
“I’ll be there when you’re sleepin’
and every hour you’re awake
I wanna hear your secrets–
wanna share your worries
Wanna go the deepest–
I don’t wanna hurry
I wanna take a lifetime to
memorize your face
Wanna hold you closer–kiss you longer
Wanna hear your heartbeat–
stronger and stronger
Wanna know you all over
Till I know you be heart
Gotta know you with all that I got
[Chorus:]
I wanna know you that good!
Like no one knows you
Gonna reach way down deep in your mind
I wanna get to know you–
wanna get to know you
Wanna get to know you that good
Gonna know you right through
You know I want to
So badly it hurts all the time
I wanna get to know you–
wanna get to know you
Wanna get to know you that good
Yeah, I wanna know you that good
Every feel of your fingers-
every curl in your hair
Don’t wanna miss a minute–
wanna be right in it
Do everything you’re doin’–
go everywhere you’re goin’
Wanna know you all over
Till I know you by heart
Gotta know you with all that I got
[Repeat Chorus]
I wanna know you that good
Wanna know your emotions–
wanna taste every tear
Wanna hear you breathin’–
feel what your feelin’
I wanna get to know
Know you that good!
Like no one knows you
Gonna reach way down deep in your mind
I wanna get to know you–
wanna get to know
I wanna get to know you–
wanna get to know
Wanna get to know you
To know you
I wanna know you by heart
I wanna know you that good.”
(For the record, I am a Shania Twain fan, so don’t admit to me how sappy/repetitive/uninspired the lyrics may appear to a brain not currently flooded by pregnancy hormones and labor anticipation! ;))
…wow… I just refreshed the screen and realized that, one year ago, Justin and I were taking a Cirrus SR22 demo flight. And the other link for that date has a photo of me taken during our October 2005 Washington, D.C. trip — right about now, I absolutely needed to see a good profile shot of me, pre-pregnancy (and post knee surgery, after lots of physical therapy!) I can’t wait to have that body back!!!!!!!!!

As your husband and COACH, I am here to tell you that a shiny new Felt FW4 road bicycle is in your future. I’ve already primed the folks at Bicycle Heaven that you’ll be coming in for a fitting in the summertime. Can’t wait to join you in cycling, walking and hiking our way to better health - Sprout will just come along for the ride in the Baby Bjorn, Jogging Stroller and Bike Trailer - and she’ll just give us a better workout in the process!

Thanks for the surprise new Garmin 305 w/heartrate monitor — I’m really looking forward to using that, even if it’s initially on walks and short park hikes ’til we get me fitted on a new road bike (and sort out my mountain bike fit issues!)
