My son the symphony conductor

This morning, Lomax decided to really go to town.  I guess with the altitude adjustment of being in Montana & the cacophony of new voices around us, he was pretty shy.  He didn't move around much at all during the week which made me sad for 2 reasons - 

1. I really wanted Dean to feel him move

2. Mark & Wynn both wanted to feel him move

He wasn't being cooperative, though so the week went by without much significant movement.

Then last night... or I should say this morning... 3am.

I returned from the bathroom & lay back in bed.  Dean was asleep facing me, so I lay facing him.  Just as I was dozing off, I could feel the conductor start his symphony with a few taps on his podium.  Granted, at the time, I didn't know a symphony was about to get started, but in retrospect, it was a symphony.  

Every 2 minutes tap tap tap

30 seconds after that came the BUMP BUMP BUMP of the drum

15 seconds later came the tat tat tat of the flute

10 seconds later came boom boom boom of the tubas

then silence - as if waiting for a grander entrance

2 minutes later...

tap tap tap

bump bump bump

tat tat tat

boom boom boom

silence

2 minutes later...

tap tap tap

boom tat bump

bump boom tat

tat bump boom

silence

Just as the tap tap tap started up again, I grabbed Dean's hand

"Your son is going nuts!" I said to make sure he was awake

tat tat boom

boom tab bump

bump bump boom

silence

This went on for about an hour... his most active to date!

I got up to go read since I was clearly not going to be allowed to sleep.  After an hour, I climbed back in bed.  Dean, of course, was asleep.

Tap tap tap

Seriously, Lomax?!

Oh well, my love... play your tune, mommy is tired.
