I will start with...
I LOVE Kelle Hamption, and if you do not read her blog, you should. It is a trifecta of amazing writing, wisdom and reflection with awesome pictures that jump out to you and make you want to spend a day in the life of this family. Sometimes it what gets me through my day.

I am flooded with thoughts and feelings and interesting insights today. Many of them too jumbled to share, some a little disturbing - (maybe I will share anyway I know you people like to see how crazy I am), and some maybe just a little too sappy to write down. (Like...I love my husband, he is pretty great! What would do without my parents? No REALLY? What would I do? My sister is severe pain in the ass but I love her to death.)
As we plan vacations for next year, and plan out schedules for upcoming events, I am excited to be starting IVF. I have shared with many of you the dramas thus far, yet I think I am little more hesitant to write about it this time as I do not want to update you if something 'goes wrong' or 'doesn't happen'. Or maybe it will just be easier to pretend that nothing went wrong if I do not put it out into the world.
However, I did start this blog to share this ride (not with the world) but with my people.
So I will share what I can because I know I will only get support in return. (And, if someone write something non-supportive I will kick your ass - you know I will! ;>)
At the end of June, when we return from Hawaii, all the adventures will begin...I know you will all be glued to your computers to see what's new with my lady parts, and who got to look at my vagina that day.
Warning: this is the disturbing part of today's blog:
What kind of made me warm and fuzzy was...I was making a guest list for my baby shower- YES I KNOW- I am not pregnant. (Melissa - shut up) But, what I was thinking, was first, holy shit this is a long list, but also I was thinking that I have a lot of really great people around me, the people on this list are really friends! I see these people on a regular basis and they are people I would call and talk to, and I was just feeling very grateful. So, there that it. Let the crazy continue!
Am I on the guest list? Jk. Can't wait to hear all about this adventure. And for the record, the people around you are pretty lucky to have you in their lives as well.
ReplyDeleteI don't see the difference between making a guest list for the shower for the baby than me making a wedding guest list and not being engaged yet. And hello, I am SO not crazy. Just ask Rob! ;) I think in your situation you might have to have multiple showers, unless you rent out a hall or something. :) I know there will be many people who would love to throw you and your little one(s) a party. I can't wait to get the show on the road. :) We all love you very much!
ReplyDeleteI love that I have so much power over your thoughts when I'm not even around you! Do whatever makes you happy. You know me and the whole jinxing thing. It's my issue, not yours.
ReplyDeleteOh and totally do more than one shower. I don't think I can sit thru hundreds of baby gifts. Hopefully your shower will be a short distance (as in time, not location) away. xoxo (yes, you got some xoxo's!!)
