Totally loved this post and laughed out loud to myself upon reading this sentence: Being pregnant means you are 50% Victoria’s Secret Model and 50% beer-bellied old man.

It's such a beautiful thing that your body is blossoming a new little person. And enjoy your new breastesses darling.

Oh my gosh...Melissa....this is beautiful, beautiful. Your big fat tears aren't hormones baby girl. That's what happens when love tiptoes into your heart on the back of an acoustic melody and holds you there. You seriously will have the most blessed baby in the world. Much love to you darlin...

This is probably one of THE most adorable pictures I've ever seen of your pups...and I've seen quite a few over the years.

I echo the previously typed comments as I have already gushed my whole heart out in a paragraph long comment on another Dear Baby post. :) I love your "how it happened" stories. I loved the story of how the bathroom engagement happened and now, to hear the "how it happened" of finding out you're going to be a MOM!! How terrific. I'm so giddy and glowy at work everyone is going to think I'M the one who's pregnant. lol.

I think I'm just going to go through and click the "I like" on every post. I am in love with this blog and it's so beautiful hearing this whole other side come out of you. You are seriously the sweetest creature on earth Melissa Jane (I stole it from Bailey...figured the middle name might have come from you. A stretch? Yeah probably). Not that you weren't totally reason enough for a visit...but a baby in the oven will rapidly speed up my ability to book a plane ticket. :) Welcome to journey of motherhood sweetie...

Option A) Put the things you wear most in your closet and store the rest in bins under your bed.

Option B) Create 2 "wardrobes" of complimentary outfits. Store one in your closet and one at a friend's house who has extra storage space. Every 3 months, swap out the 2 wardrobes. It's like having a rotating closet.

Option C) Move somewhere with a bigger closet space or with guest bedrooms that you can use as overflow clothing storage.

Oh fun! I've heard good things about this book. How was the seminar?
Have you heard of Pecha Kucha events? The idea is to present 20 slides and only spend 20 seconds per slide. They are highly visually stimulating and often interactive. I researched the next seminar for you that's happening in San Francisco. Here's the link: http://www.pecha-kucha.org/.... I'm in a class for artists in business right now and we're learning about these there also.

Abster — Fri, 01 May 2009 17:20:39 -0000

I have been every hair length and style between pixie short and halfway down my back.
It was a fun phase having short, choppy, low-maintenance hair
but long hair just suited my personality better I think. I try to keep it trendy, edgy and fun with long layers
but there are days I miss the low maintenance short look.

The cut on Sam is cute and I'm sure you could pull it off. My recommendation is to do a lot of research
and look at lots of style/cut options for short hair. Then work with a stylist that knows how much time
and maintenance you are willing to give to your hair and let their experience assist you with
constructing a flattering look for you. Hope this helps.

Can't wait to see your "after" pictures girlie!

So Tumblr is being ridiculous.
I somehow missed like 2 pages of your posts that never showed up in my dashboard feed.
Wrong and evil.

So, this is me catching up on your life.
We need to do this by phone soon...as much as I know you detest the things. ;)

Oh Melissa I love you. You can make me laugh out loud and be moved with compassion and empathy
in the same paragraph. You are magic.

I too am as fair-skinned as they come and my dermatologist scared the pee out of me when he showed
me pictures as a 16-year old that made me sweat with guilt when I climbed into a tanning bed. I gave it
up and decided a pale pink but healthy life was the one I would lead.

I'm hoping for nothing but a good report my dear.

Abster — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:40:46 -0000

Yay that you added comments! Now I just need to go back over the past 6 months
and add comments to the other blogs I've wanted to leave thoughts on. Haha.

Hey...by the way, if you stare at the picture for about 2 minutes, you'll see that it pauses and she changes direction. So she actually turns both clockwise and counterclockwise. This is a sneaky little test because it just depends on which way she is turning when you first look at it...so I'd say the left/right descriptions tell more about about the actual side of the brain you use most often...doesn't mean you don't have the other side...it just isn't dominant. It's secondary.

Thanks darlin!
That's my very favorite mug! Starbucks makes the best mugs ever.
Sometimes buying a new mug is the best pick-me-up to any day.
No matter how many mugs I have owned, this one still tops them all.
