In the Spirit of um, Balls Out

March 23rd, 2008 | Daily Maybe Photo, confessions of a confessaholic, why did i do that?

Fail

Please do not:

~ ask me what I’m going to do – I don’t know yet.
~ tell me that I have options, meaning can have an abortion – I’m pro-choice and I choose not to.
~ be excited – it’s too early to say anything resembling woohoo or congrats, since this is by all accounts the most unplanned thing, ever.
~ lecture – I’m lecturing myself far more than you ever could and have been for 19 days.

Please do:

~ feel free to say an ‘oh, ________.’ – I am.
~ think happy thoughts – and then share them with me.
~ tell me that whatever it works out to be, I can do this – cuz I think I can, but I don’t know it.
~ share opinions that I’ll have a beautiful kiddo – that’s just a tad less extreme and a tad more lax than Isobel.
~ give me tips on how to move Isobel to the big girl bed – cuz I might be needing her crib in nine months.
~ tell me HTF that I could do this alone – and give me strength to not mindlessly take the moving back in together route if JDawg offers it.

  • Ah ha! Here it is!! Why didn't you point me over in this direction soon chica??? I thought we were friends =(

    I'm happy for you. If you could see me right now, you would see a smile. I grin for you, for your daughter getting to be a big sister, and for your beautiful growing baby.

    (I'm sad for your poor, hard working uterus and soon to be exhausted abdominal muscles but that's another story) ;)

    Congrats again dahling!! Mwah.

  • I wish it was me. I think. But that isn't what you asked to hear. I think you kick butt and you can handle it.

  • Zoey, YOU CAN DO THIS. Oh sweetie, you can. You can. Where the fuck was I, yesterday. I'm sorry I did not post this sooner. I believe in you. I know that sounds so stupid but when I say it I mean it. You are so strong, smart, and much more together than you give yourself credit for. YOur children are going to grow up and be the same, strong, smart, beautiful. I know how scary it can be. Molly was not planned, and two is hard as shit at first, but trust me, it is the best thing ever. They love one another, they love you. You are good at this. You are a natural born mother. Seriously. It is going to be okay. It is. I promise.

  • If you're happy, I'm happy. However, I'm not going to get excited until you're excited. In life I think you get what you can handle, point in case me with the twins. I'd never thought I could handle one, but I got two and I just do it. No, not easy. But if there's anyone that could handle having a couple of kiddos, it's you missy, and I'll be here for whatever you need, even if that's taking Lil Is, if you decide to do this.

    Puke on, girl.

  • i think quite possibly that the universe is telling you that you were and are meant to be a mommy.
    oh and pick yerself up a copy of "illusions: tales of a reluctant messiah" by richard bach. it's a short read - and i have always found it inspiring in troubled times.

  • i'm sure you remember the post where you talked about how isobel picked you to be her mother because she knew you could handle it, even though you yourself were unsure of that fact? yep, she knew you could do it. now someone else is sure you can do it again.

    I can speak from experience of being an older sister to a younger sibling, isobel will learn patience, understanding and responsibility. she will learn to understand that the world doesn't revolve around her (oh wait i am still learning that lol) and you will become a family. and maybe this is the thing that makes JDawg see you as a family as well. and see what he is missing. okay i may have just crossed the line there so sorry if i did! can i ask though...how did he take it?

    erin's last blog post..we need more ipods in the world.
  • Oh WOW!
    Well, Isobel will have a partner & play-mate which is a great thing. It is wonderful to have a sibling to share childhood with.
