The many noises of Eden

[Mom]
I've heard many things about how to prepare for being a mom and what to expect - lack of sleep, crying, eating, etc.
What I was not prepared for were the number of sounds that come out of my little girl. She has more notes than a piano, with many different ranges, styles, and they even come from every orifice. Just when I thought that I got all of them down, she
creates new ones. Here is what I have so far:
high pitched "hiccup" (sounds like a drunk female hiccup)
low pitched "argh" (like a pirate)
fast breathing followed by silence (that one freaks me out because I have to make sure she still is breathing)
"gurgle"
"hmm, hmmm, hmmm" - deep thought
panting (reminds me of my beloved, deceased pet)

And it's a hoot when she is in her active phase of sleep because added to the sounds are the following:
half a smile (again, like a drunk female)
eyes fly open and closed
lips smack a few times

Watching her in action is better than watching any tv show currently on...well, except for Lost. So next time somebody asks me what to expect with a newborn, I am going to add to that list of items that you get your very own noisemaker.
