Am I supposed to be doing something else today?

Posted on May 21st, 2008

If I am, then too bad because Zoot is having her baby today! At 12 noon CST, to be precise. Which I think equates to 10 am out here in the sticks. I am completely and totally stalking her updates… watching for news on Twitter (I’m actually sending her updates directly to my cell phone! Stalker!) and pictures on Flickr. I’m so excited, partially because I remember so well the last time she had a baby, and how I refreshed her page all day long looking for updates. It’s like we’ve come full circle or something.

Plus, I shared a room with her at BlogHer last year. And I saw how sad she was in the aftermath of her miscarriage. Having suffered my own kind of loss, I guess it’s natural to want to spare a friend from that.

She’s going from two to three, just like me! I’m so excited to see how it goes for her. I have a box of boy clothes coming her way (it has sat in Kile’s van, waiting for him to remember to take it to the post office) that I’m hoping will come in handy for their new bundle of blue.

So tell me this: am I nuts for being so excited about this baby? Because I am. Excited that is. Not nuts. At least, I hope I’m not nuts. Anyhow, go wish them luck and good wishes, if you have a moment. Congrats, Zoot family!

Holy Shit!

Yep, that’s a positive right there.

Okay this a) explains the hormones, b) explains the headache I’m suffering right now (and the one I had on Saturday) as I haven’t had one this bad since the LAST time I was pregnant, c) explains all the other stuff like, oh, a lack of a period or the fact I’ve had to take a nap every single day. And then I go, “Holy Shit! 22 months apart! Two cribs! HOLD ME!” And then I watch Liam giggle at Kile making silly faces at him and I think, “Of course I want another one of these, are you crazy?”

Also, if there are any family members lurking on my blog, mum’s the word. We’re not telling family members until the standard 12 weeks (again) so zipped lips are in order.

HOLY SHIT!
