We just couldn't do the trendy thing. Sam used to be one of our top picks for a girl or boy, but it was edged out in the end. My middle name is Julia and I love it. And my first name is never on any of those bike license plates or keychains or anything and it SUCKED so I totally get it, wanting your kid to be included like that.

Fri, 08 May 2009 18:51:44 +0000 http://www.jonniker.com/?p=1134#comment-17280 So I ordered some transitional pants (capri with an elastic waist but not too stretchy) from gap body when I was in need and they were such a good buy. I wore them until I finally made it back down to regular clothes. I think you're right that newbornhood can be really boring but mom-friends do help. I used to read Fussbot the New Yorker and talk to him about the articles but even that's not the same.

No, seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?, I haven’t mourned any of my old life." As someone who isn't pregnant, nor planning to be in the next short while, this still made me feel a gazillion times better about the idea. Like, fuh reals.

Identity crisis? Okay. Taking an hour to get ready to go somewhere? Alright. Challenges? BRING IT ON! But the boredom. That scares the crap out of me. I have no idea how I'm going to handle that.
