1. No one writes better songs about my children, for me, than Ben Folds. The song, "Gracie" is exactly how I feel about Riley and the song, "Still Fighting It" is perfect for Cole. Except for the beer part...as I'm not a beer drinker. But he's a guy that gets it.
2. And Ben Folds' "The Luckiest" is the way I feel about Jeff. Strangely, I don't consider Ben Folds my absolute favorite, or anything...like I said though, he gets it.
3. I have crushes on both Jack White, and Jack Black. For entirely different reasons as they are entirely different people. I have crushes on a lot of men, (you all know about Angel and Spike)...it's a little ridiculous at times. However, Jeff allows me this, even though I don't reciprocate. I don't enjoying knowing about any of his crushes, in fact, I'm happier believing that since he's married to me, he's incapable of having any. (Delusional? I've never denied it). But he lets me believe the way I want to...otherwise I resort to catty remarks about the other ladies that SOMEHOW have captured his attention. Is this just a "girl" thing, or am I completely the possessive/jealous type? I assuage my guilt by convincing myself it's a bit of both.
4. If I eat two candy bars, I will gain five pounds. Jeff says this is scientifically impossible. He, however, has never had to deal with my metabolism, or having my thighs. Science has nothing to do with it.
5. If I don't look at the fat content on the pint of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, it tastes better.
6. That despite huge improvements in communication and transportation, in NO way do the kids of today have it "easy".
7. If Joss Whedon would bring back Buffy, Angel, or Firefly...the world would be right again.
8. Feeling the baby in my stomach doesn't exactly make me feel endeared. Actually, it feels like gas--angry gas. After I get the ultra sound, that's when it will all fall into place. Right now I just feel fat with bouts of the previously mentioned angry gas. When I see the baby on that little dark, swishy monitor, it's so much more real. And exciting.
9. I know this makes me a terrible mom, but most days I wish I could just sleep until my due date. The heat, the feeling vomitous, the guilt of being so tired all the time, the grouchiness, the constant peeing...all things that I could easily do without for the next five months. Also, I worry that this period of time might damage Riley and Cole. My patience is shot, and it's not their fault, and I know it. I think of when I was pregnant with Cole, and how life was, and how I was with Riley. To this day I hate thinking about it. If they make through without severe emotional problems, I will be so grateful.
10. I wish I had a veggie burrito. Or some steak carbone tacos.

I agree that the ultra sound makes every more real. I loved the ultra sound part of being pregnant. The anticipation of knowing that you will walk in not knowing what the baby is but walking out knowing that you are carrying a sweet little boy or girl. Me I walked in thinking I was having a girl but walked out knowing I was having a boy.
The floating baby doesn't make it real? Seems pretty real to me. He's getting tall too. I say he because the cord looks like a wiener most of the time.
You're not damaging those kids! They're resilient.
I have no problem with Kelli's crushes.
But that's probably in part because Kelli's are mostly on girls so we can share the obsession.
yeah I don't have boy crushes as much as I get girl crushes on celebrities, mainly because I want to be them. or look like them, or be as skinny as them, or successful or funny, or composed... do I have issues or WHAT? haha, yeah it will definitely be more real when we find out its sex. I am so excited!
