After a long hiatus

Pin It Now!
I am FINALLY back.

i do have a good reason for being so MIA the last few months.
i am the worst secret keeper - in the world.
i fully had to avoid people because
a- am worst at lying
b- would never say no to a glass of wine
a + b = couldn't make plans with ANYONE for the longest time.....because i'm pregnant!

finally being able to tell was so so fun.
there were a few people that we told before we were at 3 months....
those that offered me wine ;)
aside from that we did pretty good at keeping it a secret.
but thank goodness the gig (or jig) is up - we are thrilled.
k. is so cute - already has the room partially ready (think he had this done when i was still in my "i'm just going to take another pregnancy test just to see" phase).

and then telling my friends was the best.
i waited to tell most in person.
then right before i felt silly that i waited and got nervous about telling them - but then i saw them and i knew it was fine and it was one of those moment's i'll never forget.
first i told lindsay - her cute preggo belly hugged mine and it just came out.
then i told em - who of course heard something going on from a mile away and made a beeline over - and i love her for it.
next was whit - she was so so happy.
then meag. then she said me too. and we are a week apart. and i think i nearly fainted and i don't really even know what i said except for maybe "no way" or "shut up".
then i turned really prego dumb for a few minutes and tried to figure out her due date and even though she told me she was a week apart from me (in november) i thought it was in september..ah ha (also on topic of actually losing my mind tried to make change a few weeks for a cabbie from a $20 and literally couldn't do it. had to get a girl that works with me to do it. i am guessing i will have a really really smart baby and its just borrowing some of my brain power for a while ;))

so that is that. 3 of the 6 of us are preggies at the same time. to think that i have known these girls for 16 years. over half my life. telling them was like when i first saw kirk. was just this vivid happy memory that i'll always have.
