I’ve been lying to you.
Mainly on Instagram. A little bit on the blog, as well. Everything has been a little “less than” the truth.
Well, almost everything. Actually, only really for the past few weeks or so.
Iβve been posting photos to deliberately pretend Iβm living a life thatβs just not mine right now. Photos like these:
And snippets from my posts like this:
Autumn being around the corner is not filling me with the same excitement I get when the daffodils come up and I know Summerβs nearly here. It makes me feel like the year is going too fast and Iβm not taking advantage of every moment of every day. Iβm officially in a bit of a funk. I havenβt been runningΒ as much, I havenβt been bloggingΒ as much and Iβve been feeling a little bit like Iβm on automaton.
It wasn’t Autumn making me feel crappy.
Or, how about this:
Brooklyn version of Labor Day BBQ is pizza and beer on the stoop!
That’s a half truth. I did eat pizza.
Okay, enough beating around the bush. It’s time to apologize. I was lying to you on purpose.
Can I get a do-over? These images would be a more accurate representation of what’s been going on in my life:
Oh yeah, I nearly forgot the reason Iβve been lying to you!
I just wanted to make sure this little one was safe and sound in there for a good 12 weeks before I shared the news with you. π
Argh!! Congrats thats wonderful news.xxxx
Thanks Shaz!!! We are VERY excited to have a new little one on the way. Xo
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! OMG!!!! Can you tell I’m a little tiny bit excited for you!? This is GREAT news and I cannot wait to see you in a few weeks so I can give you a huge hug!!! That is really fantastic Carly. Although I’m a little disappointed there’s only one baby π Congratulations and I hope you’re off the Saltines and Ginger Ale soon…

Allie, I was quietly panicking before that first ultrasound that we were going to see two little heartbeats. Holy crap, I don’t know how you do it with two boys!!! Can’t wait to see you and so happy I’m feeling a bit better – let’s see how I go with the run they’re organizing for the day!
Congratulations! That’s amazing. I officially forgive you for lying! Cheers mama!

Thanks so much, Tiff!! ‘Enjoy’ would be a stretch, but I’m pretty much over the worst of it now. π
SHUT UP! omg I just got ALL the goosies!! Congratulations!!!! I am SO happy for you!! Can’t wait to follow along on your journey. I should have known by the type of questions you asked your last fit mama. I was reading it and I found it SO interesting that you asked her and highlighted her (not) running through her pregnancy. Amazing. SO EXCITED!!

Thanks Schaef!! Roman is so excited. He talks to the bump all the time. Usually it’s a recap of what he’s done that day, so cute. π I’m so over the try not to be sick diet!!
So happy for your and your beautiful family!! So exciting π Can’t wait to meet you in a few weeks and give you a big hug!
