Alright, alright I wanted to do this song because Tamara brought it up, even though I already did a Colin song last week.  This song is special because it was the song we sang to Jude in utero.  It is funny because we thought we spent all the A-list baby songs by dedicating them to Guinevere’s babyhood, but Jude’s canon seems to be equally excellent.

I love this song because it is WEIRD.  It is strange that this little thing springs up into being, and it wiggles and writhes and slowly makes its presence known to you.  That subcutaneous experience… that an elbow moves across the inside of the belly creating the effect of a shark fin in the skin is amazing.  Seeing a squirrel in the ultrasound is jawdropping and this song, while swarmy, captures that feeeling for me.  I think swarmy has a big place in the set of emotions a family experiences… cynics be damned. 😉
