How is Texas? How are you? Would you believe me if I told you that I looooooooove you?
Are there any Sonics where you're staying? I ask because - do you know what I wanted really bad today? A Sonic cherry limeade. Sooooo bad. I accidentally got one yesterday for the drive home from Spokane and it was a really bad idea, because now it is all I can think about. I got a lemonade today at the taco place but it just did not cut it, sir!
I tried to go running this evening but instead I fell asleep on the couch. That's pretty sad. Me and that couch are becoming real good friends, you know. It's really too bad too because it was sixty degrees and sunny. How is the weather in Texas?
I am sorry Holbsy but I watched tonight's episode of Lost without you. Maybe you can catch it tomorrow night on Hulu in the hotel? Just pretend that I am there snuggling up with you. Right now When Harry Met Sally is on. Peter Pan looked at the TV very strangely during the fake orgasm scene. I will laugh for the rest of my life when I remember the look he had on his face.
Remember when we ate at that deli in NYC and the pastrami sandwich tried to KILL ME?
I miss you!
Oh! I can't believe I almost forgot!
What do you think about that?!?
xoxo,
Your Baby Mama
Waiter, there's too much pepper in my paprikash.

It's so strange that I don't know you but I have a big ol' smile on my face because you're gonna be a mamma. Congratulations again.
ReplyDeleteSqueeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteYES!! CONGRATULATIONS! Seriously. I am more excited about this pregnancy than the three thousand friends who have gotten the same news this year. As a complete stranger, I feel justified in saying that you'll be an excellent mother. And that kid has no chance at being anything but hopelessly adorable. Congrats, again! :)))
ReplyDelete'gratulations and adulation be yours my friend.
ReplyDeleteCould there ever be a more special photo..baby ...the dream fulfilled...your arms reaching to hold that little baby..for now belly rubs and dreams...I am very very excited and extremely happy for you and the hubby...

ReplyDeleteNext time the Holbs comes to Dallas you should really come with him and see us. We have lots of great Mexican food and there is practically a Sonic on every corner. :) You had better weather yesterday, though, believe it or not.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYAY!! That is so amazingly exciting. I hope he/she is as fat and gurgly as a baby can be!
ReplyDeleteI guess Clomid works!
ReplyDeleteYay!
Potential names? Gonna quit running?

So happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!

ReplyDeleteI am a longtime lurker only, but I seriously jumped off the sofa and did a dance over the news. Is it weird to get excited for someone you don't know? I think when it comes to babies, most certainly not! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCRYING! Crying with joy for a woman we don't know in person but love like family. Onesie Twosies abound!!!!! I'm so excited I can't even talk about Sonic, my favorite place in the world, of Dallas, my 6th...
ReplyDeleteWell, done Little Mamma...and, of course, to the Holbsdaddy too!
congratulations!! i'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteYAAAY CONGRATS TO YOU AND HOLBSDADDY!!
ReplyDeleteI soo knew it when you said dirty dishes were grossing you out!! I still shutter to think of those 1st tri days!! I'm guessing before turkey day we should see a little holbsbaby!
I'll be praying everything goes well!!
Congrats - that's incredibly exciting news!
ReplyDeleteOf course there are Sonics in the greater DFW metro. And they taste better than yours too :)
ReplyDeleteALso I almost just went up and slapped you when you said PEE CAN pie.
Yo: A Pee Can is something your grandparents (or overly redneck cousin) relieves himself in.
Congrats on the baby!
Congratulations on the baby!
ReplyDeleteMMmmm Sonic has the best ice which is why their cherry limeades are the best! I want one now!
I normally lurk (because I'm never sure what to say), but I have been reading your blog for awhile now. However, this news definitely pulled me out of the lurker shadows.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
I've been routing for you ever since I first clicked on your blog. You are gonna make a great mama.
Congratulations to you and the Holbspapa!!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. When you drive over the border to Pullman does the time change on your cellphone?
Hot dang, you did it! I'm so freakishly excited for you! Gurgly babies are wonderful, and your gurgly baby will be the best of them all! Sqeeealing in delight for you, Natalie! And for the Holbs too, of course...

ReplyDeleteYou nearly make us cry with happiness for the news. Nice foreshadowing with the mention of the gross dirty dishes thing!! I totally got where you were heading. Randy and I will adore to share every teensy weensy excruciating detail of your pregnancy. And moving while you're pregnant is the coolest thing to do - just so you have loads of help! A new start with a new family. How more full circle can you possibly get? Randy and Nanci
ReplyDeleteHow impossibly exciting!!! It just doesn't get better than that- every living detail must be shared so I can live vicariously through you. Congratulations baby mama

Dear Natalie...We are so stinkin' excited for you!!! Look, even my dear friend the Lactation Chick (Julie) is so excited she blogged about it! She is a dearie and I thought you would like to know how rad it is that you and Holbsy are going to be mama and papa bears. Totally rad! Totally blog worthy! We are praying for you and your little babesy that you're growing. Yay!
ReplyDeletehttp://marcusandjulie.blogspot.com/2010/03/blogger-power.html

ReplyDeleteNat - soon to be really fat rat...
ReplyDeleteDid I mention that as I read below line, I knew it?
"Did I mention that I loooooooooove you?"
I had to skip to the end of the letter to be sure...
I am excited for you!!
Crinkly Old Man - a faithful follower - enjoying the ride.
I was walking out of the Children's Museum last week with a mommy bloggy friend and she stopped, turned to me and said out of nowhere, "O and I'm pretty sure Nat the Fat Rat is preggo."
ReplyDeleteI'm so, so glad she was right.
I'm sure you've heard it a lot, but can you really hear it too much?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so . . .
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
