09/19/2004 Archived Entry: "more hula talk"

Tabitha had hula yesterday morning. This time it was a combined class of the little ones and the older ones. Still nice to have older ones to help out, but a little difficult when they work on an actual dance and the little ones just follow along as best as they can. But Tabitha doesn't care, she loves being there. She hasn't quite made friends yet, which is quite surprising, but some of these girls are as much as 5 years older, so it makes sense. There's one girl that came up to Tabs at her first class and introduced herself. She seems very nice and isn't much older than Tabitha (probably 7, maybe 8).
We went to a different fabric store yesterday and I found a suitable material for Tabitha's practice skirt, hooray! I also found online directions for exactly what kind of skirt she needs and they don't seem too difficult. I do not read pattern or understand them in the least, but I can follow directions no problem. Unfortunately I have to run back to the fabric store as I got the width of elastic for an adult skirt so I need to pick up the right size. At least now I feel like I can actually do this as opposed to just *hoping* I could.
Today we're accompanying my mom and sister to my sister's college. We're there to help in whatever way we can, but I'm not sure exactly how much of a help we'll be. At the very least, neither of them will be lonely on the long drive as they are taking seperate cars since my sister won't be coming home.
Ack! My typing woke up Tabitha and she just called me! At least she wasn't calling to get up, she just wanted me to tuck her back in. Considering it's too early for me to be up, it's far too early for her. I sincerely hope she goes back to sleep, she seemed pretty alert.
In baby news, I can definitely feel movement more often now and I'm sure that's what I'm feeling as it's all in the right place. It's not strong enough yet to feel from the outside though so I haven't been able to share with Chris or Tabitha. One thing I keep meaning to mention about my ultrasound, the technician got a clear look at baby's face and then studied Tabitha's face and said baby's face is shaped like Tabitha's. Then she compared baby's profile with Tabitha and said they are very similar. Kind of odd to think that I kind of know what my child will look before she is even born. Of course, this one could get my dark hair and that would make her look completely different than Tabitha. But we won't know right away because Tabitha was born with rather dark brown hair then it all fell out after a month and when it grew back, she was my little blondie! We're assuming blue eyes; Chris and Tabitha have blue eyes and though mine are green, they were blue when I was born and turned green when I was around age 5. Tabitha's are staying blue though, I'm sure. They just have such a clear color to them.
