E. Fast Came to Town!

Erin is finally here!

She will kill me when she sees that I posted this picture.

Let's see how long it takes her to actually check my blog.




Lots more action to follow...

Steve's Sperm Actually Works...

This is Kristin and Steve.

For those of you who have absolutely no clue who Kristin and Steve are, you probably haven't ever listened to any of the stories I've told you about "those crazy times back in Jersey." 'Cause if you had been listening, you would know that this is my "oldest" and still one of my closest friends from the old neighborhood. She and I have known each other since Kindergarten. She knows way too much about my life, so I keep her around to be safe.

Steve is the man she finally settled on after years and years of extensive research with other men. In all seriousness, I heart Steve. He's the greatest...

AND, even though we had our doubts, it turns out that Steve's juice has still got the magic because he knocked my friend up good.




Even though Kristin is one of the cutest (and tiniest) pregnant women I've ever seen, she was feeling pretty unattractive the other night, so Kraenzlin and I decided to join her in her misery. Sad thing is, this might be the closest I ever get to actually being pregnant.

P.S. I have no idea why Kraenzlin's version of being pregnant involves a do-rag.





Letter of Endorsement:

Kristin and Steve,

I just want you to know that despite the strong possibilty that the responsibilty of who will change your baby's diaper might come down to a came of cards, I offically support your decision to become parents.

I have known you both for a long, long time, and I have babysat for a lot of children--not to mention, I have had my fair share of interactions with completely retarded parents at parent-teacher conferences. All these facts speak to my expertise in the field of "parent judging." Having established that, let me say that I have complete confidence in your ability to raise this child right. This is a child who will be raised to understand the lyrical genius of Springsteen. This is a child who will understand the value of any and all pop culture. This is a child who will know no taboos as far as the bathroom is concerned. And this is a child who will be able to quote all movies with a freakish degree of accuracy.

Ok, now that I've written my "Hollywood Squares" paragraph, here's where I am going to be serious. Even though this whole thing is a little surreal for me, it is so exciting, too. You guys are the greatest--as cliche as that sounds, it's just true. I am so happy for you, and I am really happy for your baby. This kid is lucky. You guys are some of the most honest, funny, sincere, loving, and good people that I know. In short, the world needs more people like you to breed.

Now move back East.

Love, Amy
