I take it this is not a planned and hoped-for sort of pregnancy?

planned? not at all. hoped for? definitely in that "i want more kids" way, but i don't think now was the ideal time. she just took the test tonight. she's guesstimating at about 3 weeks or so.

Is there help in the picture?

the boyfriend wants to marry her, but she's been burned by the whole marrying because she's pregnant thing.

Is there still a prospect of losing the job?

they let 66 people go yesterday. she thinks she's probably safe at least until the new year. after that, who knows?

tiggy, best of luck? I don't have any concrete advice to offer, but aunthood is fun?

meara, I'm almost jealous of myself. Trips into google are to remind me this is real and what I should explore.

Yikes, tiggy. Although if I were pregnant and not getting married, I'd be pretty happy to be living with my sister, I bet...

A fire alarm just went off in my building, possibly in the hallway. I stuck my head out and didn't smell anything, and now it's stopped, so it's safe to ignore, right?

she wants to move him in here though! i don't want to live with a guy i barely know. *sigh*

Oh, that's a whole nother story, then. Yeah, good luck with everything.

Two years ago today I went to Wanna House and met face to face a bleary eyed boy who was in the middle of his nap. It hasn't all been easy, but it most certainly has all been worth it. I thankful for this place and the people here for helping and celebrating with me.

Aw, noodle! I still have the text message where you told me all was GO.

Oh, wonderful celebrations, msbelle! Thank you for bringing him into my life as well. Man, it's amazing, mom.

now that is worth celebrating!
