“And now for something COMPLETELY different…”

September 30, 2008

Oh, hello.

What am I doing amongst the fall verge and splendor? Well, I’m just kind of hanging out and thinking about a WHOLE bunch of stuff. (STUFF YOU WILL WANT TO KNOW, so if I were you I’d just look at the eleventyhundred photos and listen to the rambling because dude…it’s big news. Trust me.)

(I’m really much more excited to be here than I look, promise

What? You like the outfit? Why THANK YOU.

I got it at Target. No, not in the town where I live. That would be far too easy. We don’t have a Target in Cache Valley because then we couldn’t have TWO Wal-Marts and people would be WAY too happy and excited and if you give people too much they get spoiled and bitch and moan and start wanting things like alternative energy sources and world peace. And hell YES, having a Target is right up there with free health care, education and sanitary water. Geesh, to hear you talk you’d think that I was a shallow person that gets all caught up in buying attractive clothing and home furnishings at reasonable prices at the same place they can get gourmet baguettes.

Where was I?

Oh, yes. My outfit.

Well, I have been wearing it a LOT lately. It just sort of happened. I was wearing it when I found something out and well…I kept wearing it to tell everyone I knew and so, dude. I totally had to wear it today to share the news with all of you.

What?? What is that????? You’d love to hear my news BUT IT’S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I’VE POSTED THAT YOU DON’T REMEMBER MY NAME??!!

Oh my FREAK. It’s not like I’ve been gone THAT long, ok? Alright, alright, I’ll appease you and play along. (Sigh.) “HI THERE, LONG LOST BLOGGITY FRIENDS THAT I HAVE DEARLY MISSED!!!!! It’s me, Loralee. You remember, that dorkish, somewhat charmingly awkward blogger from Logan that has been MIA most of the month of September.”

Remember her?

Yes, I thought you might.

What? What was that? You remember her because she wrote this long, gut-wrenching emotional post and then proceeded to leave it up just hanging there for days and days and DAYS without putting everyone out of their misery and posting something that didn’t make people want to curl in the fetal position and sob with angst while throwing Prozac and tissues at themselves????

Ah. Sorry about that. I’m so embarrassed.

I will apply ye olde Jedi mind torture on her as punishment.

Does that appease you?

No?

DAMN. Well, I guess you can’t please everyone all of the time, right???

Now I’m bummed because I have a really, really, really good reason for leaving all that sadness up there for so long.  So much has happened and it has had me running 24/7 for a couple of days.

I suppose I should just get on with it and tell you the news already, huh??

Ehem…I’M PREGNANT.

Let me say that again for anyone who missed it:
I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT! PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!I’M PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I am nothing if not dramatic.)

I found out Sunday afternoon. I’m due June 3rd.

It was a shock. It was the one month that we weren’t trying.  It’s a lot to take in, believe you me. Given Matthew’s anniversary last week, it has gone from one extreme of emotions to the other in the blink of an eye.

There is a whole lot about me being pregnant that is very scary and complicated and terrifying. I have deep tender, serious feelings that I will probably share later, but right now I have to make this funny or I will probably curl up and be overwhelmed with emotion and the worry and fear will creep in.

Being pregnant after your last baby died and having major medical issues is a lot to deal with.

BUT.

I don’t want to think about that right now because at this moment I AM OVER THE MOON with excitement.

I know I am the queen of pessimistic that is not all that enamored with God for the last 5 years or so and I am not sure if it makes me a complete hypocrite to say, but today, right now, this very moment? God is good.

I am happy and have hope in a way I never thought I’d be again.

I feel blessed. So blessed. So grateful. So hopeful. SO HAPPY.

P.S. I’m sorry to take you all on such a ride of extremes with these last two posts.

P.P.S. Oh, and in case you’re wondering- yes. My magical boobies were a huge indicator in realizing I am  pregnant.

P.P.P.S And they hurt.

P.P.P.S.  They are still magical, though.  Have NO doubt about that.

P.P.P.P.S. They will just have to be referred to as “Magical MATERNITY boobies”. Which are just the upgraded, more awesome version of the other model.

P.P.P.P.P.S I know this post is totally odd.  Can I blame it on hormones??? ;)

    I’m just saddened that it is not my baby.

    And I’m sorry about your eardrum. I didn’t mean to pierce it with my squeals when you told me the news.

    But I’m still so damn happy for you, I feel like my magical boobies may burst.

    Which would be a shame since they are kinda magical.

    Big love. Talk with you soon.

    Not to rain on your baby parade, but I can’t help but notice you didn’t mention who the father is. Soooo, I’ll go ahead and do that now. I’m the father. Yes, Internet, I fathered this baby. Let me point out to you that Loralee has spent a few nights in my bed. That coupled with the fact I spent the day with her before she found out the news just goes to show either I’m the father or just her good luck charm. Either way I’ll take cash payments. If anyone else would like to purchase my totally awesome baby making skills please book me through our darling knocked up Loralee.

    What grand and glorious news. Even better because I’m not the father!!!! But seriously - I was working on my post for tomorrow and I was (Honest to God) going to make everybody come over here and bang on your door and make you come out and play or at least lighten up your blue funk. Which now, of course, I know you were NOT in the middle of. So I blew it by ONE DAY. But I’m more glad to have you back - and to have you pregnant (and again, noting it is NOT MY FAULT) than I would have been to see eveybody come here and try to make you feel better. Because you ARE better. And THAT is why I love you.

    Congrats! I’m really excited for you. And I completely agree about the ridiculous Target/Wal-Mart thing. My parents live in Logan, and I was raised there (in fact, I was really good friends with your friend Brigitte in high school) and when my parents told me another Wal-Mart was being built, we agreed on how asinine it is that they are doing a Wal-Fart and not a Target. Boo for Logan.

    First off: Squee!! I knew it when you had something happy going on. Yay! I’m so excited for you and hope you’re feeling well. I’m still in the depths of the yuckies. None fun.

    Second: You totally look hot in all those photos. I keep meaning to go out and take some like this with the beautiful leaves, but with said yuckies it isn’t really happening.

    Third: The outfit is fabulous. I’m completely envying the coat. It’s gorgeous.

    Fourth: Yeah, what is it with the 2 Walmarts and still no Target. Somebody really dropped the ball on that one.

    And Fifth: I keep wanting to see you and do lunch and I’m even staying at my parents much of the time so I’m even in the area. I’ve just felt so miserable I haven’t really been seeing anyone for fear of barfing and/or falling asleep on them. But call me to let me know when would be good for you and I’ll take some meds and pull myself together for a few hours and we’ll play.

    And squee again! I’m just so excited for you!

    You have me in tears here, again :)

    Don’t apologize for your last post - it was very powerful and I’m sure struck so many as it did me as a reminder to be grateful and to breathe in every aspect of every day we have with our kids.

    When my daughter saw me cry when I read your last post and asked me why - I told her that God wanted another little angel and Matthew was that angel so he took Matthew to live with him. She immediately asked ‘Is his mommy going to get another baby?’ and I just said ‘I don’t know’ - she wanted you to have another baby.

    I know not everyone looks at things this way - but it was the best way I could think on the spot to explain this to my 4 year old.

    This post is SO not odd lol! I think you have written most honestly about how any of us would imagine feeling after being through what you’ve been through.

    I’ve only been reading your blog for a relatively short time- but know that I am overjoyed for you, wish you my heartiest congratulations and you, Matthew, and this littlest baby will be in our prayers.

    Congratulations! I have been out of the blogging and reading blogs for a few months, and now this!!!

    I’m really happy. Life is really a roller coaster, isn’t it, but I”m glad for the extremely happy to somewhat balance out the extremely sad…not that there’s a comparison, that’s not what I meant. I’m just happy for you! You look great, by the way.
