Sorry about the little hiatus. Although I guess I'm only really apologizing to myself, cause you know, New Year's resolutions and all.
I wanted to blog, but Sean and I also wanted to keep our pregnancy a secret*. It felt really fake to blog about the normal trivia and minutiae with this huge life changing event going on. Turns out that the pregnancy wasn't viable though, so here I am again-all honest and stuff.
So it was a crazy emotional roller coaster for Sean and I, but we got through it! And might I add that I am so grateful for way we deal with hormonal craziness in this house? It goes a little like this-
1. I say something, or overreact with hormonal rage and/or tears
2. Sean stares at me incredulously
3. Sean tries to stifle a giggle, or most of the time laughs out loud
4. I try to be angry at his reaction, but I can't because it's just so justified
5. I laugh at myself
The miscarriage has also made me feel nostalgic for my teenage years, if only because I really thought I had it all figured out. I miss that blind certainty of all things. It was definitely easier to sleep at night.
For the past week this telemarketing "research" center has been calling our house upwards of four times a day. Today, when I finally picked up with the intention to beg them to take me off of their calling list, the man on the end of the line asked "Is your mom or dad home?" I laughed and said "I wish." He doesn't know the half of it.
He did say he'd call back later though.
*you know, in case it doesn't happen, and then we wouldn't have to tell anyone...
