I'm pretty obviously pregnant. No baggy sweater can hide the bump at this point, so people have started asking about it. Timidly they approach and enquire, "Are you expecting?". For a split second before I respond their faces flash with a look of sheer terror and I know that they're thinking "Oh no. What if she's not? Please say yes." And during that same split second I always think how hilarious it would be to say "No" and then provide no explanation. But like most hilarious things, it probably wouldn't be very nice.
Speaking of very nice, I want to thank you. All of you who read this blog. There aren't many of you, and yet you make me feel like this small piece of the internet matters in some small way. I love your comments. I'm flattered when you share links on facebook. I love receiving your emails. The world wide web can be such a mean place sometimes, and yet you've never made me feel anything but loved. It's hard to express appreciation with a blog. I don't konw if anyone ever checks back on comments, and I'm just not techno savvy enough to reach out to you. But I love you. Thanks for the suppoert.
Love your blog, Meg! I try not to miss a post!
ReplyDeleteOoooooooh Meg, it is I who am thinking YOU for making such a lovely hilarious corner of the internets for me to bask in. and OMG I am SO EXCITED for Ivy to be born just so I can read you blog about being a mom. You're kind of like my favorite reality show, except instead of beezeeness and invented drama, it's just really witty and delightful and I don't have to feel guilty for having it on my DVR.
ReplyDeleteThere may not be many of us, but we sure do love this place! Short, simple, thoughtful, funny, and with the best blog name EVER. And I'm with Katy: Even though I may never meet Ivy, I'm still looking forward to her birth, so as to enjoy her sure-to-be-hilarious presence on the blog. =)
ReplyDeleteYou're stellar.
ReplyDeleteYou're nicer than me, I've always planned to tell people I am not pregnant, no matter how apparent it is.
ReplyDeleteMeg, I love your writing and your blog...I tell my husband a lot of the things you write and he laughs every time--and he's a humor snob. This means you can feel reeaallly good about yourself.
ReplyDeleteSee, you're all so great.
ReplyDeleteNo, no, thank YOU. You are the comic relief, the original thought, the life refresher. Love you, Meg.
ReplyDeleteOops--that above comment is from me, Rach, but I'd agree with Megan. Todd often laughs out loud reading your blog. We enjoy you.
ReplyDeleteI love the Freestones.
