Almost summer.... How does that even happen? The last time I looked at a calendar it was March. I guess that's what happens when you sit around all day and the only person you talk to is a baby...? Hmm. I should get out more. My daughter is 8 months old! It is so nuts... I cannot believe how huge she is. She has a little tooth she just finally cut, and she scoots around our living room floor and she is just a little shit, now more than ever. It's great. I'm so happy. Back to summer though, I'm pretty scared. I have to go bathing suit shopping and all that crap, it's really ridiculous. I just realized all my clothes are black and I don't own ANY shorts? What the hell happened..... Oh, right, I gave birth and my body turned into one fatty gigantic stretch mark. I'm serious, I have nightmares about miniskirts and short shorts. And me in them. Ha. And now I have to go get fitted for a dress this weekend because I am a bridesmaid in one of my good friends' wedding this summer. I hate that idea, because most dresses at this place are like 7 sizes bigger than what you actually wear and that just does not sound like its going to be a very confidence-boosting experience for me. Oh well.
I think I'm exaggerating. Everyone in my family has been telling me I think I'm fat in my head and not really... Which, whether or not that's true... Well, whatever. I've actually been tanning and walking hours and hours and exercising and I actually feel pretty good. It's just funny, the title of this post is from an e-card that I sent my mom last week. I thought it was great. I laughed so hard. But you know, overall the experience of one summer being skinny, the next being super pregnant and then the next... well, like this, ha is just a little traumatic. Having a child is so nuts and the way your body and mind and everything changes is certainly enough of an excuse for me to joke around about having a fat ass. :D

Anyway, Adrien is doing wonderful. She is so beautiful! And funny. I can't wait for her to start walking and talking, and that way at least I won't feel half as crazy while I'm sitting around making conversations all morning... But yeah. It is mind-blowing all the stuff they do, every day, that is new. Even the littlest thing, you freak out over. Like right now, this is something she just started doing a week or so ago, she'll wake up from her nap and just get up into a sitting position and play... She doesn't cry at all or anything, she wakes up and makes little noises like she's talking to the bears and hippo and bunny and everyone in her crib. It is so cute! And she points at stuff and babbles and also when she gets pissed she'll be flapping her arms around and all of a sudden she locks them in place, clenches her fists and shrieeeks. It is hilarious.

Being a wife is still great too. Haha, I say that as if I was expecting it to get really terrible by now or something. My husband is amazinggg. He's funny and cute and well, my best friend. I feel bad though sometimes because he comes home from work and I'm all stir-crazy and on bad days I can just go off like a raging bitch, but he seems to balance me out pretty well. Most of all, we have fun. Last weekend we were playing drinking games with some friends and him and I played a side game of Quarters for oral sex, and he won. Then the next day when he was bringing it up I told him I was blacked out and had no idea what he was talking about(lie), and he said "Shut up Karina, don't be an indian-giver." Hahaha. I laughed so hard, when was the last time someone called you that? 3rd grade? It was pretty funny.

Anyways, I should go. My daughter knows when her 20 minutes of playtime is over after naptime and she's making those really loud, long-winded talking noises that basically mean Hey-get-your-ass-in-here-and-change-my-diaper..... NOW. Ha. But, I won't wait months and months to post again though- don't worry! :]]
