are you going to keep it...

when i found out i was pregnant with grae-rose, lillie was just about three months old and i was still about twenty pounds more of my usual me. it wasn't pretty. so i went to my hair salon to find pretty.

it all makes sense if you connect my dots with squiggly lines.

while i was there, i thought i'd try out my crazy news on my colorist.

i'm pregnant again. and then i started to giggle uncontrollably.




she looked...uhhh...like i'd just told her crazy news. and the first thing she said was are you going to keep it?

now. i can quote the princess bride and the usual suspects and pretty much every episode of pee wee's playhouse, so there shouldn't really be room in my petite brain for that one line from that person...but there is. it's stayed for over eleven years now.

it's most likely taking up the space where my decision-making skills should be.

anyway. a few days ago, i was kind of eavesdropping on a guy talking about his wife's bed-rest. apparently, she'd been under strict orders since she was eleven weeks along. she is now up to thirteen. it sounded...precarious.

so my friend - who you would totally enjoy, by the way, but who will say whatever she's thinking without really thinking - asked some questions and you could tell the guy really wanted to talk to someone who wouldn't get all light-headed and cover her ears and hum so she couldn't hear all the medical terms. like bed-rest. which is probably why he wasn't talking to me.




i could tell my friend wanted to make him feel better, but what came out was oh, don't worry about it. you can always try again.

ummm. but. they're still kind of trying with this one.

it reminds me of something i said to our very first friends who had a baby. i was trying to be all i'm with you! and i think i said {sigh. i know i said.} i'm sure it'll be like a puppy! hard to train but super fun once it gets the hang of it.

i'm much better with words now.

pinterest is killing it today. i WISH i could quote all the lines from snatch. brad pitt is genius in it. this scene makes me and uncle sugar laugh so hard we have to plug our noses. well...i guess i'm the only one who does that. here and here.
