Just Another Day

Thanks, Y'all! We have gotten so many well-wishes and sweet messages about baby guff.

It's a funny thing, how people react to a pregnancy announcement. We have gotten several different responses, but listen. Here are the most common responses we have gotten for #3:

-Screaming, dancing, hugging, so excited. Screaming. dancing. 
-No response, no acknowledgement, at all. Still not sure if they heard about it yet.
-"Uh, I thought y'all were gonna wait a while?"
-"Dang, how many kids do you want?"

And my favorite response to "Was this planned?" is, "Of course it was... ya know... God... before the beginning of time...?" I haven't said it out loud yet. I'm not that pregnant and careless...yet. If I made a pie chart for which response we got, from whom, and how often, you might be surprised. But you might not. People are happy to celebrate you when you are doing things that they approve of. On their timeline. Things that are 'normal'. But go outside of expectations and BAM. It makes me sad to know that people don't often enough celebrate together and share in others' joy. Oh well. WE ARE SO EXCITED! 

We are excited that the cat is out of the bag, and we were thrilled to finally tell Chamblee. Although, she said that I could keep the new baby, and she would keep Jacob. Hm. She has also asked me every morning and after every naptime, "Mommy, is the new baby out yet?" It is going to be a long 6 months... :)

The beach is 26 days away. Is it too early to pack? I got up and tried on all of my bikinis this morning, and this year I think I will actually let the 1 piece take a rest. Of course, I'll be in my 20th week of pregnancy... so there'll be a little bump. Cute, no? Don't answer. I'll be asking my honesty-guru to see if this is a good decision. She'll know if the 1 piece should be retired or not.

Oh snap. My birthday is next week and I legit already thought I was 28. Like, when someone asked me, I said 28. Months ago. What is wrong with me? I don't know what is going on around here, but birthdays are not what they used to be. I used to love them, make the biggest deal, and now I'm kind of like.... can we skip that day? Not because of anything other than laziness. Does anyone else feel like that? No? I'm a loony bin? Oh. I just feel like it's such a to-do. What do you wanna do, where do you wanna eat, what do you want, who is going to babysit? Meh. It's just another day.

Also, I'm having serious issues with nail polish. I know. That sounds really crazy. But from a reformed-nail-biter who is excited to actually get to paint my nails, it's annoying. What is your favorite polish? I have tried Essie, OPI and Sally Hansen... with Seche Vite top coat...and within 1 or 2 days they peel off. Like, peel. not chip. Is it because I do dishes all day? Is it true that only non-moms can have beautifully manicured nails? I hope not. Help.

What a schmoregesboard. Hopefully I'll have some new material soon. For now I will just let my chi'ren destroy the house while I think of things to write about. *Just looked up. Jacob has deodorant sunscreen all over his hands and legs.

Annnnnnd scene. 

Until Next Time,
The Guff
