I am totally with yo...Thanks for the award friend!<br /><br />I am totally with you on the clumsiness, no-heals-wearing and hatred of phone conversations. <br />The good thing is, once you have that baby boy home, people will think you're a klutz because of the child. <br /><br />And about your fears of messing up... You will totally mess some things up just like the rest of us! If you don't, I will have to resent you. <br /><br />Kimberly, ha! I put the first diaper on wrong too. I was sure they'd want the Pampers brand name in the front and not the back LOLSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432764155924362426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394089008210300670.post-78880955608079554042010-12-07T21:47:53.444-05:002010-12-07T21:47:53.444-05:00an award!!! for me?!! that has cupcakes on it?!!!...an award!!! for me?!! that has cupcakes on it?!!! this is right up my alley, sister! :) thank you for thinking of me and my very famous husband, Alec Baldwin. ;) can i just tell you that glenn's boss tells him at least once a week that he too thinks glenn looks like him. he's said it in meetings in front of tons of other people too....which totally embarrasses glenn as he hates to be the center of attention. <br /><br />now on to your confessions...which totally cracked me up! we have quite a few things in common. Klutz is my middle name. i could write a book about all of the falls i've taken. glenn just shakes his head he's so used to it. and heels? not happening. i can barley walk in flats! i too still have the same fear of dropping noah....especially since i have a track record and dropped my baby brother on his head when he was 4 months old. yep. sucked big time. and punctual? haaa! i try, but now with noah it barely ever happens.<br />ohh, and i totally felt the same way and had the same fears about becoming a mom. I mean really....someone handed me a 13 month old kid and we basically had to figure it out?!! at least with an infant they are just as clueless! noah had these great foster parents that knew their stuff!! i was worried as heck! but you know what...you figure it out and you somehow just know what to do. you are going to be a natural, grace. i just know it. :)Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409450273850993240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394089008210300670.post-76237363417961703532010-12-07T19:19:32.781-05:002010-12-07T19:19:32.781-05:00Uhm, I'm sure there is more that I should be c...Uhm, I'm sure there is more that I should be commenting on... but I can't get past the punctual part. You know that's going to get worse, right?! I used to be ten minutes *early* and now am lucky if I'm only twenty minutes *late*... <br /><br />le sigh.Christine @ 12,450miles https://www.blogger.com/profile/06593782429987800305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394089008210300670.post-67516227228222202262010-12-07T17:44:37.366-05:002010-12-07T17:44:37.366-05:00Thanks for cracking me up!

And, most of the time when the injury happens I tell myself to "remember this moment and how this injury happened"...but, then no less than a day later I have already forgotten and start wondering, "how in the world did I get THAT?"

Well, here we are almost 6 and 1/2 years later. Shockingly, I've never once pitched him or myself down the stairs. You'll be amazed at how well you are able to navigate the steps. :)<br /><br />On the princesses front, I agree completely! I wrote a paper in grad school about the characterization of women and girls in cartoon Disney movies. I even quote some of the songs and talk about the conflicted imagery of women's roles- the older women are all evil. The younger women are totally helpless against evil (and sometimes even asleep). By the way, although I love Belle compared to some of the roles, the song does call her unusual because she likes to read. It's a little creepy. That said, I LOVE the music. I have the Princesses Sing Along CD. Let's all pretend that it's because my son likes it... okay? ;)<br /><br />Most importantly, I am praying for you. I hope that we find ourselves in Seoul together. I think we will.Minhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312819158046176617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394089008210300670.post-38267469241329327602010-12-07T15:28:43.192-05:002010-12-07T15:28:43.192-05:00What a fun award!

I dislike it, too, and will also rehearse what to say. Good to know someone else is the same way! <br /><br />Still praying hard for that TC!!!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435026305119565508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394089008210300670.post-71738007563481767192010-12-07T07:57:12.859-05:002010-12-07T07:57:12.859-05:00Come on good news!

Thank you for making us all smile today! <br />I'm a klutz and awkward on the phone unless I'm talking to one of a very few people that I talk to on a regular basis.<br />I'm going to check out your wrists next time I see you. :) I'm sure they're gorgeous, sorry I haven't noticed. <br />Coffee - it will probably become your friend. I started drinking coffee after Ben was born. Teaching didn't woo me to the coffee ways - once in a while I'd have a cup (my TA's always made it in our room). But Motherhood - that did me in. Never been so sleep deprived in my life! I'd be happy to come over and teach you use your coffee maker. <br /><br />Hugs and come on TC - it's time for Choi boy to come home!!!!!!!!!!!!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228094717864369438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394089008210300670.post-88155311761233914312010-12-07T00:21:09.610-05:002010-12-07T00:21:09.610-05:00I hope and pray that you FINALLY get some news thi...I hope and pray that you FINALLY get some news this week! This is so unfair:-(<br /><br />I totally understand the fear you are feeling right now. I didn't enjoy Korea as much as I should have because I was so worried about becoming a new mom - I have a confession - I put Kyle's first diaper on backwards! It was a hard adjustment in the beginning, but now I feel I have been doing it my whole life. Don't worry, you will be an awesome mom!Kimberly and Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319574832902796343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394089008210300670.post-43169604458397506652010-12-06T23:02:52.517-05:002010-12-06T23:02:52.517-05:00Oh Grace... you and I are just two peas in a pod. ...Oh Grace... you and I are just two peas in a pod. Except that our pod is the size of half of the US (that's a geography comment, not a size of our tushes comment).<br />I'm not super klutzy, but I do have injury amnesia. Case in point: giant bruise the size of an apple on my shin right now. NO idea what it's from.<br />I don't wear heels either - they hurt!<br />I've got news for you... the lack of punctuality will NOT improve post-baby. So tell your friends and family to enjoy how on-time you are now! ;)<br />I love that you love your wrists. So specific and adorable.<br />But the clincher for me? The fact that you hate talking on the phone. I *despise* it. I will let a call go to voice mail in the hopes that I can text or email the person in reply. It's almost a phobia. I think we must be sisters... :)Elizabeth Frickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04369568911391997731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394089008210300670.post-27590639914692951682010-12-06T22:48:38.817-05:002010-12-06T22:48:38.817-05:00i am totally laughing outloud right now. you are s...i am totally laughing outloud right now. you are so freaking funny grace! i love how honest you are about yourself! i'm totally laughing still..with some tears. i feel emotional this week so i'm glad to read a post that is up beat and happy. although i have to admit you picking me to be one of the award winners made me tear up a little. um...i agree with the comment about colleen's husband!! you are so right! oh and i soooo love our talks! i'm a right there with you on the messing up. i have talked to my dad about this countless times. he always tells me that if he can raise three girls then i can raise one myself. ;) i sooooo can not wait to see carson in your arms (with flats on)! xo!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06857450857030181034noreply@blogger.com
