mmm, library

Right after I told my parents that I was pregnant, my mom mailed me these books. She bought What to Expect When You're Expecting, but this other book, The First Nine Months, she had actually saved from when she was pregnant with me--30 years ago!



To be honest, until this point I've been a little freaked out to look at the pictures, but I open it once a day and inhale deeply. It smells fantastic--like library books from when I was a kid. I can't get enough of it, and I find it comforting. It's like when Proust ate the madeline cookie and was transported back to his childhood; I smell this book and am five years old hoarding piles of books from Poquoson Library.

  1. Can you have "Utah" beer? Maybe by the time it gets to tummy, the minimal amount of alcohol will have evaporated? Ponder this, then get back to me.
