Sounding like a broken record…
So I seem to have the following conversation at least 5 times a day:
“You’re getting BIG! When are you due?”
- Early June, but I’ll probably have a c-section in late May.
“Do you know what you’re having?”
- Yep- we’re expecting another girl.
“Do you have a name picked out?”
- So far, Doug and I have agreed on Nora.
“How old is your first daughter?”
- She just turned 3 in March.
“Is she excited to be a big sister?”
- I think so… she says she’ll share her toys, but we’ll see.
Usually at this point, the woman will share a horrifying near-death story about her own birth experience.
I just want to wear a t-shirt with the following text:
June 3
Girl
Nora
Molly is excited
That would save me a lot of talking. I can just point to the shirt to answer questions… isn’t that brilliant?!

Answers my questions!!
So when are you due?
Mr. Punk
I have more for you:
“So don’t you think you should try for a boy?”
“Are you ready for the baby?”
“Wow, you must be getting uncomfortable with this hot weather.”
“Do your feet hurt?”
“You’re going to have your hands full with two!”
I think you should TOTALLY make that T-shirt!! Funny!
Hang in there–another 4-5 weeks!
hahaha sorry! Like Steph-Hang in there!
Add one more comment to the t-shirt…something like “no horrifying birth stories, please”
It’s coming quickly, you’ll make it!
Hey Doug, Erin, Molly & Baby!
We just wanted to drop a line and say Congrats on the new baby soon to arrive. Glad to see that all is well and everyone is happy and healthy. The website is really neat and nice to catch up with you guys from it. Matt & I are doing good and we are keeping busy. Keep in touch and we’ll talk to you soon. Best of luck to you and the family especially with the new one coming soon! Happy Spring guys!
Love, Lynn & Matt
Ha! Been there. You’ll get another slew of annoying, unoriginal questions following the birth. “How close in age are they?” “Are you getting any sleep?” “How’s Molly adjusting?” “Are you planning to head back to work?” I recommend you come up with original, slightly horrifying answers. For example: “How close in age are they?” “Two days. Molly’s exceptionally large. Try and conjure up a mental pic of that birth! YIKES!” Hang in there!!
