Yeah, I know. I've been a very naughty girl, and I should have updated weeks ago. But there's been so much to say that I'm a little overwhelmed! So I've decided to break it down into list form, just for now, and maybe I'll go back and explain things better later.
1. I am large with child. I dread what I'll look like in four months. And I don't know how much more my poor hips can take.
2. I am loving this pregnancy thing, hip pain and all. It's so worth it whenever I feel the baby move. I have an anterior placenta, which seems to absorb most of the movements, but every now and then I get lucky and get a little reminder that Tiny Campbell is thriving. So worth it.
3. Tiny Campbell is a GIRL!!! a thousand points to me for being right, although I'm not surprised. I'm always right.
4. I'm always right.
5. Santa Claus came late just for my family this year! The reason my family wouldn't tell me anything they got for Christmas was because they hadn't had Christmas yet.
They saved it for Emile and Daniel and Charles and me, so we could all celebrate together.
That was decided after reading Emile's heart-wrenching post on how homesick she was. I'm going to make her write that every year, because it was so awesome to have Christmas Eve with the whole family! Well, Emile and Daniel had to stay at a hotel because of cat allergies, but we still had the dinner and grab bag together, and the reading and stuff. It was stinking awesome. I love love love Christmas.6. I love Christmas.
7. Emile's pregnant, too! She only three weeks behind me, due June 21.
I'm due June 3. But she's having a boy, so my mom gets the best of both worlds with her first grandchildren. She's coming out to visit when the babies (babies- weird!!!) are born, so we'll each get some personal grandma time. (grandma- weird!)8. I still love my apartment.
9. My Christmas tree isn't ready to be taken down yet. There are no immediate plans to take it down, either, so stop asking.
10. I cut my hair. I like it. I had to explain to Charles that while he dated and married a girl with long hair, I was never a long hair kind of girl. I'm a short hair girl who just happens to also be an extreme procrastinator.
Also, I've had tons of people ask me what we're naming Tiny Campbell now that we know she's a girl. Her name is Tiny, duh. Actually, we have lots of names that we love, but we want to meet her in person before we decide who she is. For now, though, some of our favorites are Norah, Olivia, Lily, Grace, Liesl, Laurelei, Ruby Eleanor, and Babette.
PS. One of those names is just a joke. Can you guess which one?

Molly you are so hilarious! I love reading your posts...you should do it more often ;). That is so crazy that Emile is having a baby too! How fun for you guys! And congrats on the little girl. I'm glad you were right. I always think I'm right too...but I was definitely proven wrong in this instance. I love the names! I'm sure whatever you choose it will be so cute! I saw a movie once called Babette's Feast...or something like that. Maybe I'm making that up, but I think I had to write a paper on it at BYU. Anyways...good luck with the hip pain!
Hooray!
I love the family pictures, and I can't believe how grown up everyone is, especially Anna and Cameron.
You need to post a picture of the new hair...or better yet, I need to see you in person!
Emile and I share a due date:) Of course my doctor is making me wait 3 more weeks to find the gender of the baby. That baby girl sure is growing inside of you. You look great!! Happy pregnancy
liesl is one of my favorite names! we like all of the sound of music names actually :) and I love lauralei. and I really like your jeans- are they maternity? and if so, where did you get them? Maternity jeans are my nemesis.
Molly, you are not large large with child yet. Just wait... And I hope Emile has her baby on my birthday (it's June 22nd)!! And, Babette is an awesome name for a baby- you can just call her Babs until she grows into Babette:)
Yeah, they're the new secret fit maternity jeans from motherhood maternity. I got them on sale right after Thanksgiving. I really like them, but my favorites are the regular waist maternity jeans from Old Navy. They're adjustable, so hopefully they'll fit all the way from the beginning to the end of my pregnancy. and they're cute enough that I may wear them afterwards, too.
It's about time. And I think I will definitely repost my homesick/Christmas post every year--even if I'm not really that homesick. I realize now that I really just wanted to tell everyone about the baby, but I was making myself wait. That's what made me so homesick. Funny, huh?
And I love the secret fit pants better. They're much more comfortable. And I have stinking POPPED in the past week. Pictures to come...
loved this post! cute cute tummy, so excited that you and emile get to be prego together--jess and i wanna do that someday.
Molly, I want to see your new hair, are we twins? Speaking of twins, do you think you could grow another one so that it can be twins? I love babies! Make it triplets!
Gosh, can you get any pregananter? :)
I'm guessing Ruby Eleanor, but only because that's the name of your car, and it would be too confusing.
Hi Molly!! I am glad I found your blog. I didn't know you were pregnant!!!! And Emile, too. That is awesome :) Congratulations!
I agree with Lizzy, you should definately work on those twins. Then you can send one our way. We'll raise it and then they can meet up again at some summer camp somewhere, sometime.
