Starting to feel pretty massive!
I'm more spry than I look, though. The house is starting to look a lot less terrifying, scratching projects off the ridiculously long summer to-do list every day, and I'm feeling ahead of the birthday party game. (July is Shamus' birthday, we're having a party for the baby in August, the baby's coming mid-September probably, and Chance's birthday's October 2nd). It feels funny working on invitations now for a party in September/ October but I know with a brand new infant there will be very little time for that stuff, so I'm trying to do it all now. Next year we're going to be having a fourth birthday, a seventh birthday, and a first birthday. All in the span of four months. I wish we had staggered our children a little more carefully!
Today Shamus and I are stamping and mailing a very large pile of invitations. I thought it be nice or personal or something to do the baby party ones written by hand instead of the usual flier style. Except we wanted to invite all of our relatives and a lot of our friends so it turned out to be a very large number. So I've been working on them three here, five there for the last couple of weeks. I got about halfway through the pile when I realized the wording was kind of.. odd. Some of them might sort of maybe imply that we are having (and eating) the new baby on the day of the party. Not really sure how it happened (goddamn hormones), but by the time I noticed I'd written so freaking many that I couldn't bear the idea of starting over, so I just changed the wording on the next half and kept going. You may get one. Enjoy.
