If all goes as it should, in twenty-four hours I will be making the delightful acquaintance of my nephew’s nibbly parts. My sister has been hard at work fattening up his cheeks and thighs and other scrumptious edibles because I made it clear I was not flying halfway across the country for a skinny baby. She’s gone all mother of the year, too, because even his toes are getting plump. As it should be.
This week has been kind of an ass-kicking as far as hectic schedules go, so I haven’t exactly packed for my trip. Did I mention my plane leaves at 9 tonight? I’ve decided that if today goes anything like yesterday, and worse comes to worse (i.e. I run out of the house with my suitcase as it is now, containing one BlackBerry charger, a pair of baby socks with monkey faces on them, two sets of decorative baby hangers, a pair of black tights, and a digital camera), I’ll just borrow some clothes from one of my sisters. Or my brother. I’ll be in no position to be selective. In high school, borrowing clothes between the sisters used to come with a one dollar lending fee (totally not kidding). I’m hoping to get that waived due to extenuating circumstances. Like having baby on the brain. Kind of makes it hard to think about anything else. With few notable exceptions, which we will discuss at length soon. Yeah, it’s as good as you think it is.
sounds like a crazy week but a great one! Enjoy the nephew in all his chubby baby glory!
Aw, baby toes are the BEST nibbling bits. You won’t wanna put the socks on him. I can stare at a baby’s fingers and toes forever. I dunno why, but it’s amazing to me they have fingernails that small. haha
Enjoy your trip!
Enjoy the nephew! You do know that the ad at the top of your blog is for Trojan condoms, right?
Oh – you get to go see a baby… I’m so jealous! Will you be bringing back pictures I hope? There’s nothing cuter than a baby, especially one that has monkey socks on!
Awww how wonderful for you, Fish! And you can relax and enjoy it more since you have the new job too!
I recently moved to Dallas partly to be near my nieces and nephews too
I love babies with all their wonderful baby smell and nibbly parts… but they just get better and better! I’m going to my nephew’s soccer finals this weekend and can’t wait! He works so hard at it and is so proud, and that makes me just *smile*!
Enjoy yours!
I have a new nephew too! I actually moved my life to be closer to him. Babies are amazing!! Congrats!
You can’t borrow my clothes, as the only wearable pair of pants I have to my name are some men’s sweatpants, and they’re mine!
Can’t wait to hear your other news. And it is even better to be nibbling on your own baby! I hope that is coming for you in the near future. After everything is sorted out properly, of course.
These are difficult times, and you really shouldn’t be expecting any waiver in lending fees
Have a fun trip!
Hello! Enough of the baby stuff – how bout the action I imagine Fish is getting. I wanna know about that

Sorry, I just ain’t in the baby phase. None of my friends or sister have em and I’m not clucky…..and if I wanted a baby…I’d have to actually have to get a bit…hi! love you husband…

Enjoy your time with your family and safe and happy travels to you!!
