Baby confessional

[judecorp]

This morning when we were watching a little bit of television before she had to leave for work, Jennifer commented on a commercial by saying, "I want to buy baby clothes." I AM WINNING.

Also, I really /really/ want Jen to get into that UMASS program that she applied for so that we can move to Easthampton, buy a cute and affordable house, and have babies.

Confession: I really really REALLY want my child to be valedictorian of his/her high school class, like I was, like my mother was before me. I want a neat little nerdy legacy. I /know/ it's bad to want those things, and I'm totally scared of being that parent that dumps heaps of pressure on a child, but I /waaaaant/ it! Maybe I'll just have to have biophile6's baby to ensure that reality.

I'm sure you will find other ties to that side of the family. But don't forget Jen's sides too! My mom and I were in the same sorority at the same college, that was kinda cool :) Move to a small town and you'll have a better chance at the valedictorian thing ;) But you'll probably get a total jock kid who refuses to take honours classes cut it will cut into his/her practice time ;)

I like jock kids, too. :)

I like Jen's family a lot, well, the ones I know. (I haven't met any of her extended family at all.) We're pretty estranged from my mother's family since I grew up with my dad and his family, and my mother doesn't keep close ties to her family (just her mom).

I'm sure that when Jen has a baby, her mom is going to swoop in and steal it. She is totally a baby-stealer! Worse than me!!
