another classic by Jessica

(Jessies aunt Stacy works for Zero Fatalities. Their motto is "don't drive stupid". Stacy is always teaching Jessie about being safe on the roads.)

This is a daily conversation in the car with Jessica

Jessica: "Mom, we don't drive stupid huh?"

Me: "nope"

Jessica: "And we don't drive shut up huh?"

Me: "nope"

and her new favorite:

Jessica: "And we don't drive OMG!"

Dear JCrew,

Oh how I love you!

I love even more the delightfully fabulous sweaters you have for the winter season.

Would it be possible to keep them for next winter?

By then my deflated chest and sloppy stomach will fit into them quite nicely.

All my love,

Jill

Are you sitting down?

IT'S A BOY!!!

ramblings of a pregnant mom

Why? Why your butt AND thighs? I understand the belly, kinda like it. But REALLY, must the other things go as well?

Didn't my body just do this? Why yes, yes it did!

I swear I was never this tired before. Not this early. Is something wrong with me? I could sleep ALL day EVERY day.

I just ate. I'm talking I just ate a ton. I could keep going. I honestly have to make myself stop.

UGGGHHH the maternity clothes! I so don't want to buy new ones. There is no possible way that my maternity clothes from Jessie are going to fly. They weren't cute then, they're not cute now. I HATE spending money on maternity clothes..HATE IT...HATE IT I SAY!

Do you think it's a boy? What would we do? We've never had a boy before. We would have to buy cars, trucks, dinosaurs.

NO WAY is it a boy. We only have girls.

What will we name her? I'm only thinking of "J" names. What if we name her a "J" name? Then Reese would feel left out, we don't want that. Oh, she wouldn't care. Or would she?

What if they still won't let kids come to the hospital come delivery time? I think it will crush me to not have them come meet their new bro/sis at the hospital. We won't have that hospital picture all scrunched together on my hospital bed. I would like the quiet though, quiet is nice.

For SURE it's a girl.

Arthritis is doing better. What if it went away FoReVeR? Oh, what a glorious thing that would be. Maybe I can think it away.

I can feel the baby move. I always love that.

oooohhhh, I still don't feel 100%. When will the nausea be gone for good? I'm really missing my PB&J's.

What will I do while Trav is hunting? FOR A WEEK! I might die of exhaustion. Something IS wrong with me. I'm just soooo tired.

I love the baby stage. So cute. So little. So innocent.

Oh, if it's a girl she could wear those darling booties Peggy made me. Love those. hmmmm where are those?

Who is going to share a room? Jessica/Reese? Reese/baby? Jessica/baby? Baby/us?

2 kids in cribs? I WILL not buy another crib. 2 kids in diapers. I WILL be buying tons of diapers.

Is this really it? Is our family really going to be complete? I think it just might. It feels good. Really good. Exciting good. Next chapter of our lives good.
