My newest addiction

For reals... my newest addiction is watching videotaped reactions as people tell their families they are expecting.  It's like this moment of happiness, even though I have no clue who some any of these people are, I get to be excited and overwhelmed by their happiness and joy for a quick moment.  It's a high, I won't lie.
Here are a few that I've enjoyed on YouTube.


This video went viral and I think we've ALL heard her ridiculousness.









Honestly, if  my mom doesn't respond this way to the news (when it comes, slow down people, don't go jumping to conclusions just yet) I'm going to feel a little let down.  I mean, this woman flopped around on her couch like a fish.  That's love something!



I sincerely hope my father doesn't ask me "How did you do that?" if/when we announce a pregnancy (seriously, don't be starting a rumor mill).  I'm hopeful that people get the gist of where babies come from, at least the adults in my life.... Can we also take a moment to hope that Porch & I don't have triplets?  It's wrong to be picky, sure, but I also don't know how we'd fare if we were outnumbered right out of the gate.

If you're ever looking for a good time, go to YouTube and watch these. I just get sucked into the videos and the lineup down the side of the screen.... I feel like I could watch them all day. Some are better than others.  They're all (pretty much) happy, I've yet to see someone hear this news and say "Yuck.  Not for me."  Now that I could hear my dad saying.... "I'm too young to be a grandpa, I'm 18."

Sure you are big guy, sure you are.... aren't we all?

xoxo

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

Baptizing Le Nugget

There they are... got my first big hit of hormonal pregnancy tears this morning as I thought about baptizing our daughter & where we'd like to baptize her.  It just kind of hit me all at once with more clarity than I could have ever expected. Let me back up a hot second; we attended a Lutheran Easter service this Sunday while visiting family and I was so totally turned off by this pastor's sermon and approach that it made me really reflect on what my beliefs are and when I feel most connected to a sense of faith.  Porch and I spoke in great detail about our hopes for our daughter and none of them included the messages being delivered at that Easter service -- the implicit messages, obviously.  There's not a terrible amount of difference between the Lutheran service and the Catholic service, but there was just a vibe that turned us both off. As I drove to work this morning, it came over me as I was thinking about where we could baptize our daughter.  We don't ...

It doesn't matter how slow you go...

I saw this online the other day and at first, thought how appropriate it is for what Porch & I have been attempting lately (lots of running) but after some deeper thought and revisiting, I've come to think of this as being more fitting for our story on the road to making a tiny human. I think it's appropriate, meaningful, and inspirational all at once.  A great reminder that no matter how slow we move, how many baby steps (no pun intended) we take, as long as we keep moving forward, it's better than giving up in frustration.  I once had a colleague tell me that it was only important that we "keep moving forward, no matter what."  That mantra has stuck with me for years and I've come to apply it personally and professionally.  It's okay that this is taking time.  It's our story and it will never be the same as anyone else's story. Likewise, I am not a runner.  I honestly don't even know why I started running, but damn it.  It feels so ...
