Friday Night Randomness

Randomness is all I've got these days, peeps. I have lately lost the ability to string thoughts together in a coherent or interesting way. So this is what you get for the moment:

• Poor Noah is sick. When he woke up from his nap today, I found that he was running a temp of nearly 104, so I took him in to the doctor, and she discovered that his throat was "angry red." Poor kid. He bounces back and forth between feeling terribly sick and playing normally. I think we will take it pretty easy tomorrow.
• On the up side, it's been nice to discover that Noah really likes it when I sing. Both when he got his flu shot earlier this week and when we were at the doctor's office again today, he could not stop crying. When I asked him if he wanted me to sing, he said yes, and he did quiet down a bit to listen. It makes me feel good that my singing can relax him and make him feel safe. :) Also, I have found that "Silent Night" makes a wonderful lullaby.
• I'm watching the movie "Dan in Real Life" at the moment. I really like this movie. It makes me laugh and warms my heart. I love the family scenes in it. They think of all kinds of fun things to do, they never once watch TV, they enjoy each other's company, and I love how marriage and family is portrayed--marriage is for life, and Dan's parents are a wonderful example of a couple who are a great unit, for example.
• I am so tired of food. I feel like all I've been talking and thinking about is food for the last month (haven't you noticed?!), and now that Thanksgiving is over, I want to have nothing to do with cooking.
  
• I want to buy all the little Christmas dresses and sweater dresses I see in the stores. I have been holding back on going nuts with the baby girl clothes, but lately I have started buying a few things here and there.
  
• I think it's special to be pregnant at Christmastime. I remember reading the Christmas story while I was pregnant with Noah and thinking how special it was that I, too, would soon be swaddling my baby.
