    How much is that doggy in the window

    Take me out to the ball game

    The scarecrow song from the wizard of oz.

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

  • I mostly make up songs, but I also sing a lot of church hymns to Henry. Probably because that's what my Mom sang to me when I was a child.
  • You are my Sunshine

    Clementine (actually had to google the lyrics on that one)

    London Bridge

    Head, shoulders, knees and toes

    How much is that Doggy in the Window

    If you're Happy and you know it

    The more we get together

    5 little monkeys jumpin on the bead

    Teddy bear, teddy bear turn around

    Hush Little Baby

    Rock a bye baby

     

    Add to that every song on the CARS movie sound track and a host of other songs from toddler CD's that we listen to at home and in the car.

    Add to that the random songs we make up for things like brushing our teeth, going potty, getting dressed, washing our hands, eating dinner, etc and we're singing all the time around here.

    And off key to boot! 

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
  • Oh yeah, You Are My Sunshine and Goodnight My Someone.
    Childhood cancer (DH) + chemo + radiation = 0 sperm.

  • I sing all the "baby" songs listed here, but I get sick of those so I added a bunch of other songs. 

    Sitting on the Dock of the Bay, Up on the Roof, Helplessly Hoping (and others by Crosby, Stills and Nash), Somewhere Over the Rainbow,  Rolling on a River, and then I make up a ton on nonesense.

    An old song my grandmother taught me when I was a kid.  Funny, I never thought it was a kids' song until I googled it and found it on all these kids' sites!  You can listen to it here:

  • For nighttime/sleep, the songs I usually fall back on are Frere Jacques/Are you Sleeping, Itsy Bitsy Spider, ABCs and Baby Mine (from Dumbo).

    For non-sleepy times, I sing a lot of Raffi because those are the ones I know from my own childhood!

    After 20 months, 3 Clomid cycles and 4 IUI cycles, IVF #1 with ICSI = BFP!

  • I sing ALL.THE.TIME.  

    One of my favorite sings has to the most annoying song in the world....

    "Loving you is easy 'cause you're beautiful... do do do-do... LA,LA,LA,LA, LA, LA, LA!)  

    Then I change up the lyrics... "loving you is easy 'cause your eyes are blue..." "Loving you is easy when your napping..." Loving you is easy when you drink your milk..."  etc, etc.

    She LOVES it when I sing this song and if I stop before the LA,LA,LA part, she'll sing it for me.  SO cute.


    After THREE years, our IVF miracle is here!!!

  • All.the.time.

    I sing all of these, plus tons of oldies and motown hits.  I sing pop songs from the radio, and my favorites are songs I teach to my first graders.  Here is a current hit:

    Poor little bug of the wall,

    No one to love him at all,

    No one to wash his clothes,

    No one to tickle his toes,

    Poor little bug on the wall.

    (Then I repeat again and again using all different kinds of voices:  cowboy, scuba diver, puppy, smush face, etc.)

  • Our pre-bedtime song is "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" from Sesame Street.  (Worth youtubing it if you don't know it.)  Then I sing "You Are My Sunshine" as I'm putting him down.

    The rest of the day we sing songs I make up or adult songs: "Hotel Yorba" (White Stripes), "Gracie" (Ben Folds), "Zoo Blues" (Robin Williamson) or whatever is in my head.  He doesn't care as long as it's got some kind of tune!
