can a plant be a friend?

so, i've moved on from movie quotes. i got bored with it, is the short explanation. now we're doing either quotes from "friends" (which i've been watching quite a lot of lately, thanks to mr. dvr) or random sentences. today's post title comes to you from sesame street.

so, ian rolled over from his back to his belly yesterday for the first time! he can now officially roll both ways; however, he does seem to have forgotten that he can get off his belly on his own, and prefers to lay there with his face buried in the blanket and cry. maybe that's more fun, i don't know. he's also gotten quite proficient with his jumperoo, and loves loves loves to jump. boy's going to have some serious leg muscles.

one year ago today, i called to schedule an ultrasound for potential ovarian cysts, since i was having some, um, feminine issues. after scheduling the ultrasound, i decided to take a pregnancy test, just to make sure there wasn't a more obvious reason for my issues. i had taken one less than 2 weeks previous, before heading to st. louis, and it was negative. so, not really thinking anything, i took another one and about had a stroke. without going into detail, it was extremely unlikely that i would be pregnant, so saying it was a huge surprise would be an understatement. i stood in the kitchen holding the test up to the light every which way because i was convinced that i was seeing things, and when i finally realized that yes, this was a positive pregnancy test, i cried and called brian at work, even though he would be home in a half-hour.

ian was on his way.
