OKAY.

OOPS.

I get really excited about babies. Mary isn’t here yet. I was a bit too eager and read too much into a post and had also just ASSUMED she’d be here by now and she isn’t and then I had my own false alarm labor that I spread across the internet on Jenn’s behalf, oops.

I did that with my own babies, too. Always being like, FINALLY! And then making the trek to the hospital just to be told, “yes, you are having contractions, and yes, you are overdue, but that does NOT mean you are in labor and we can’t keep you. even if you say please over and over, you are not having this baby tonight, now go away.”

So i’m THAT kind of weirdo internet friend, too. The Tell Everyone The Baby Came When She Didn’t Weirdo Internet Friend.

Ha.

Um. Yes. Jenn was lovely and put me on her “i’ll text you when I ‘m in labor list” which she said only has SIX other people and I think that I’m probably her only Weirdo Internet False Alarm Friend on that list so I feel VERY special.

And it kinda prevents me from telling the internet AGAIN that a baby came too soon. Which I could so easily do by accident. Obviously.

I’d tell you all about my trip, but I need to go paint a bathroom. I painted another one yesterday. And Ethan-11yr’s is today’s project. I told him yesterday to go clean it up since i might get around to painting it and he said, “Oh thanks! I’d like red and black, please.”

Like I was taking requests? How optimistic.

“Um? I bought a beige.” I didn’t elaborate on the resale-minded ‘beige is boring but better’ bathroom decision.

SO. Off I go. Unless I get a text. And then I might stop painting and give you baby updates.
