    I wish I'd heard ONE of these things before my friends dropped me while I was pregnant. Then again, if they dropped me they weren't that great of friends to begin with. Ah well, it's a nice thought.

    This rocks!  "Let's smell the tops of their heads together" made me tear up.  And the "I bow down to you" made me feel understood and excused for the chaos.  It reminded me of a confession this week:

    "I don't judge mothers who are overweight or not put-together...."

    LOVE!

    Awesome post!! I totally needed to read that. I think I need to remind myself that people aren't judging me as harshly as I imagine they are. And if they are, then fuck 'em!
