Asher Spotted at McDonalds!
This is going to be a really short post because I have a jillion-and-a-half (is that really supposed to be hyphenated?) things that are hanging over my head and I think they may fall on me at any given moment. But I simply MUST share with you my experience.
First of all, I'm feeling a way that I've never felt before. With Steph being all prego, I get really emotional. I don't know if it's that sister connection or what, but it's getting a little crazy. I am ALWAYS, ALWAYS worried. Every time that Steph calls me at work and I'm not there my mind starts playing games with me. I almost get frantic! There's a flipside to the coin, however. I bought Asher Paul a pair of overalls, a shirt, and some kicks from Old Navy a few weeks back and get this: I cried in Old Navy when I found the right outfit! I know people must have been thinking I was for DEFINITE a weirdo girl. It's just a pair of overalls, for Pete's sake! I dunno. Weird things are happening.
That leads me to my most recent waiting-on-baby story. This morning I was sitting in the drive-thru at McDonald's (what IS wrong with me? Wal-Mart and McDonald's are like cousins or something) and This little boy with thick, blonde hair was holding his Papa's hand. They were both grinning from ear to ear. Of course when they look over at me I had to start crying. I'm out of control! Anyway, they were holding hands and talking. When I saw this, I had some sort of flash-forward experience. I could see Asher and my dad going to McDonald's. And then I could see me in my thirties taking 10 year old Asher out for the day. It was such a neat moment.
Anyway, that's all. Just wanted to share. Can you tell I'm excited? It seems like it's taking FOREVER for me to have a nephew.
I'm sure that's not the last gushy Aunt Scooter and baby Asher story that I'll tell.
Have a FABULOUS TUESDAY!

It's ok. I have had similar moments and I am not even related.
It seems like it's taking forever for me, too.
Today a guy came into the coffee shop whose name was Caleb. He started talking about how much he liked his name (which is an unusual thing to say, but still). It gives me hope that I'm not dooming Asher Paul with an unusual name. ;)
And those overalls are SO cute.
It's good to have you back ;-)
