I’m alone tonight. Jimmy left for a business trip this afternoon.

I had the car all to myself, could eat whatever I felt like eating for supper, could dance around to whatever music I wanted and be however loud I wanted.

Wanna take a guess at what I actually did tonight??

Drove home from work, ate a bagel for supper, didn’t take the car to the mall and shop till I dropped, barely even danced to anything. No clue where the time went….but it must have slipped away while I was doing the dishes and laundry.

And now for the ??????????? moment of the day.

Came home to this in my mailbox!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you thinking my mailbox was ‘crank called’??? Nope, it WAS delivered for Jimmy & I. My aunt dropped it in my mailbox as -what she calls- encouragement. Unfortunately, I took in the actual smallness of the sleeper and (yes, stating the obvious, I know) Whoa, newborns are small!!!!

The sad thing is…..here in Timmins, seems like responsible, somewhat-ready adults like my 28 year old self are missing the pregnancy boat. In Dr. X’s practice, every 25+ year old trying to get pregnant is having difficulty conceiving. However, just this week, we’ve seen two brand spanking new pregnant 18 year olds.

That is an encouraging aunt. Wow... I don't know how I would feel about that.

No shopping while the husband is away? Is that natural?

Raina,

Please don't have a baby yet!!!
Because then my husband will want one and I don't want one yet.
Your Mom was trying to convinvce me what a good idea it is just the other day. I told her if I could drop the baby off at her place and pick it up when it was 18 we had a deal! Of course she said no even after I offered to visit on the weekends. Oh well I tired!

it always works out that way. i feel like it's always the people who aren't trying to get pregnant that do.

so are you trying? or just being encouraged to try? ;)

Your aunt is funny. She reminds me of my friend's mom. My friend went out on ONE DATE with a guy and she comes home and her mom's bought a bridal magazine for her!! (Didn't work - girl's still single.)

I'll ask the question that everyone else is asking... are you trying??

Whoa nelly!!!!

That's crazyness!!!! Everyone asks when Nate and I are going to start trying, since the wedding is finally on it's way... I figure it'll happen when it happens... no rushing... but I bet I would be frustrated if I was trying and it took awhile...

What if you have a girl? That looks like it's for a boy. Ask your aunt for more encouragement- pink style. I know you'll have the cutes babies- don't worry! It'll happen for you. Now, I wonder if they'll be born with beautiful porno hair or if that's something you develop.

Okay Raina, shall I remind you of a little outfit you apparently bought for me for whenever I have a baby. Only because it had ducks on them ?! haha Karma eh?

That's adorable and I can't wait to be an Aunt to this little munchkin...whenever he/she decides they'd like to join us. Hang in there and don't get discouraged...it'll happen when it's supposed to. It all happens for a reason! Love ya girl!
