my friend louise has sent me baby socks, and carrie over at bad mama is sending me a baby thing and it makes me happy and it makes me want to cry.

this whole baby thing has been a long time coming. and it’s been hard a lot of the time, doing all this planning and wishing and hoping and working.

and sometimes it seems like i’ll never do anything else, never get to the part where i actually have a baby.

and it means a lot to me that other people think i’ll get there, enough so that they’re sending me things for godot.

(yes, that’s the kid’s name at this point. after they arrive there will be another name. but for now, that’s it.)
