week thirty-six


i seriously believe stretch marks are predestined. i have been militantly diligent with lotion, cocoa butter, and oil...and yet, yikes.

random advice from strangers is hilarious to me. i don't mind people touching my stomach since my preschoolers did every day for months. one opinionated costco employee told me that i'd better name my child something respectable because "those arquettes chose 'coco' when they were drug-induced and who could take a lawyer or doctor named 'coco' seriously?!" haha. noted.

my mom is flying in this afternoon and i feel like i'm about to walk down main street usa at disneyland. at least once a day i think to myself i need my mom!

this last month might drag on, but i've already told this baby she better stay put until nate gets home from malaysia. back in november, i got so sick and dehydrated that i had to book it to the ER at 2:00 am in a cab by myself since nate was still in singapore. this scenario will not be repeated. i refuse.

and on a beautiful note, there are blossoms, BLOSSOMS on the trees now. it makes me want to sing. spring is amazing, when it actually comes.

  1. The end/beginning is in sight! You can do it. And you are making it look too good. Your hair has always been luscious, but those prenatals must be doing you some wonders... I can't believe how much body and shine you have!

    I'm glad your mom is coming out to stay with you. Wish I was closer to you.

  2. I seriously think of you everyday....that you won't go into labor now or when matt gets there because i will be so jealous if he gets to see the baby and i don't:) I'm SO excited for you to have your mom. What a great time! Have fun. Enjoy this last little bit before the baby comes!

    Hi susan!
