the state that i am in » Wherein I Freak Out

Congrats again to one mama-to-be from another! I am familiar with the freaking out and peeing on multiple sticks, bloodwork, etc. I just had an ultrasound today and am 12 weeks 3 days (have not been public before now).

“I’m going to Target to buy shoes because that’s what you do when you pee on a stick and it’s positive. I don’t want to be home alone with this thing.”

I totally died laughing at the, “ARE YOU FREAKING OUT?!” Hahahaha! Your email was the best thing ever. LOVES YOU!

Oh my gosh, you made me cry with your extreme excitement! Thank you so much for sharing, because it was so stinking cute.

So did you buy any shoes? I’m pretty sure you should share if you did.
.-= Alicia´s last blog ..Crafty Bug =-.

OMG you are adorable. I have to say though that your freaking out was pretty calm. Maybe that’s just because my “freaking out” is a bit extreme. Lol.

So happy for you!!! I can’t wait for all the posts with baby clothes, and cribs and bedding! And the birth story. And the new baby pictures! Ahhh so much to look forward too!!!!!

That video was totally awesome! You had me smiling and laughing again!

All I have to say is…..YIP! From the bottom of my heart, I am so freaking happy for you, Erin.
.-= SuchAGoodEgg´s last blog ..By the numbers =-.

I don’t know you and I just started reading your blog, but I was crying watching your video. Crying with excitement for you. I am so excited for you and your positive pee stick. Best of luck, and stock up on crackers now…you’ll need them.

I love that you a) asked for a shit ton of presents (which is totally justified) and b) mentioned that you were home alone with a pee stick. Multiple times.

HUGS!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!
.-= Lacey Bean´s last blog ..So… much… food!! =-.

When I finally turned a pee stick “not negative” I carried it around in my purse for two weeks. I never showed anyone. I just kept it tucked away while I carried it around everywhere I went. Perhaps I should have bought some shoes, too.

I’m so behind on commenting, but when you get my (admittedly lazy) Valentine, you’ll know I am freaking out with you! I seriously cried two tears watching the video and am pink-puffy-heart happy for you guys )

By the way, I am naming your baby Owl (until it’s born) because the owl in your header makes me smile every time I see it. So say hi to Owl for me.
.-= Rebekah´s last blog ..On writing well =-.

I have played this video twice and it doesn’t get old. You’re so cute. Thanks for sharing the big moment with us.
.-= Meghan´s last blog ..Welcome to My New Home =-.

Honestly? This video totally made me weepy. In the best way possible. I really want to thank you for being one of the most honest, raw and genuine bloggers I’ve ever come across. I don’t think you can know how incredibly inspiring you are – in a million different ways. I know that so many of the things you’ve posted have come from the bottom of your heart, and because of that you have touched more people than you will ever realize.

It’s crazy, because I find myself thinking of you so much – just sending up little prayers for peace and comfort in your heart because I know that this time has been an emotional whirlwind for you and your husband. When I found out you were pregnant, I ran over to my husband and was all, “ERIN’S PREGNANT AHHHH.” And he was all, “Okay?” And I was all, “Um, online friend?” And he was all, “I judge you.” Heehee.

Anyway, this is long-winded, but I just wanted to thank you so, so much for being one of the most genuine bloggers I’ve ever had the honor of knowing. After watching this video, all I wanted to do was hug you for longer than is appropriate.

I am just now seeing this and I ALREADY know that you are pregnant but that didn’t stop me from crying, in the middle of barnes and noble, because holy CRAP how amazing!!! I’m so happy for you. Like RIDICULOUSLY happy. You must send me your address!!!!
.-= Ashalah´s last blog ..Chicago, There’s a New Windy City: Essaouira =-.

So I just showed this video to my husband and said, “This is pretty much what you can expect from me if and when we get pregnant.” And he just kind of stared at me, and then at you, baffled. But we’re both so excited for you!
