The Rest of the Questions

I swear I'm going to shut up about All Of The Things soon, but y'all asked some questions and I should probably answer them, right? Right.

First, though, thank you. All of you. Your well wishes are all sorts of amazing and fantastic and very much so appreciated.

Sooooo ...

Question #1 that a WHOLE bunch of you asked: Alexis is happy. Excited. All of those things. She is actually why I had to tell the internet because she was telling the internet one person at a time all on her own. Otherwise, I totally could have gone MONTHS without saying anything.

I'm really good at secrets, you guys.

Question #2 that a bunch of you asked: I feel like crap. A warm, steamy pile of crap that caught the flu and then got run over by a semi. So if I've been seemingly ignoring your email or tweeet or whatever for the past few months, sorry. I was probably asleep. Or miserable. Maybe send it again? I'll probably still be asleep and miserable, but maybe it will be one of the top ones in my inbox so I'll get to it.

Sorry, I'm good at secrets, but I'm REALLY, REALLY bad at being awake these days.

Question #3 that only a few people asked, but that I might as well get out of the way: We will not be finding out sex. I get why a lot of people do, but I'm a really big fan of surprises and that's one of the only true surprises in life. For what it's worth, we didn't find out with Alexis either, but I KNEW. I just did.

I have a hunch this time, too. We'll see if I'm right when the end of May rolls around.

Oh, and if you're mad that we're not finding out, you can just get in line behind Alexis because she's madder. She literally yelled at someone at the Carter's Outlet last week because she wanted to buy an outfit with her very own money but there wasn't a single thing she liked that was "in the middle." She. Was. Pissed.

Retailers, take note. Pink and blue newborn clothes make some of us sad.

Question #4: Alexis' necklace came from Etsy, but I don't really want to say which store because I'm not totally happy with it. Part of it is already discolored. She has worn it non-stop for over a week, but I still expected a bit more for the $30 price tag. Maybe I'm crazy for expecting silver to stay silver, but I do.

If I've forgotten to address your question, throw it in the comments and I'll do some cleanup later.

Thanks again, y'all. You had me all kerfluffled over and over and over again all weekend.

I am over the moon for you! I do not have any kids of my own because of infertility and then I got old. I'm glad your wish has come true.
