(panicky, anxious) moments before i first met nic in person, my dear friend said to me, "what if you're about to meet the father of your children?" which may just be the sort of dramatic thing girls say to each other when they want to say, "you really like this guy," but it also resonated with me at that moment. this guy felt different. he felt real and honest and raw. he felt like a really good reason to outsource my dating pool to kentucky.

three years later, it turns out she was right: he was just as rad as i anticipated, and he is going to be the father of my children.

i'm having a baby with my best friend. i'm kind of terrified and really thrilled.

we might not totally know what we're doing, but man is this kid going to be loved. baby kaniasty/ loster is due for a grand reveal sometime late september. and, as nic said, we think it's pretty f****ng cool.
