Last night Joel and I went to see the new Star Trek movie. As I have mentioned before, I loathed Star Trek for most of my life. It wasn't until a year or so ago that I actually gave it a chance, and found that it wasn't that bad at all. I'm no treky, but I do like star trek. I was actually looking forward to this movie.

We took our seats in the theater, and the movie started, within the first thrity minutes of the movie I was crying. I cryed 4 times during this movie. Might I remind you this is a sci-fi, action flick. {SPOILER ALERT: this next sentence might ruin some of the movie if you planning to see it and are a serious star trek fan, so read the very small sentence at your own risk}
I cried when Spock of the past met up with Cpt. Kirk of the future and told him that they would be friends, what the h??? (If anyone mentions this to Joel, I might have to ban you from the blog, ok so I don't think that is possible, so lets just say we might not be such good friends for a little while). I knew something was going on. That night when we got home, as I lay in bed, I calculated due dates in my head. This morning I went straight for the pregnancy test (I only waited until morning because they say that you are less likely to get a false negative if you do it the morning; I have had a false negative in the past). As suspected, after my crying fit in Star Trek, there is indeed a poppy seed-sized new baby growing inside of my belly :)
When I told Kailey she jumped up and down for a long time, and told me that it was going to be a girl, and she was going to name her Re'Etta (I hope I got the spelling right, my years of teaching in public schools gave me advanced unique name spelling skills).

WOW~ how exciting! another adorable kiddo to give ya more corneal abrasions! j/k. (you are the only person i know that has such bad luck with that) but seriously!! CONGRATULATIONS! so much for joel wanting to wait 5 years! us women always get our way. tee hee hee!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Another one taking the three kid plunge! I'm so excited for you. Kailey might be right, except for the name of course. Everyone pregnant girl I know is having a girl. That's a funny story. Those emotions are always a big symptom to watch for. I actually want to go see Star Trek too. It looks like they made it so much cooler than the older ones.
ReplyDeleteYay! Another mom to be handling three kids at once! At least we have plenty of time to adjust to the idea of three kids!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATUTLATIONS! I'm so happy for you! Lily and I can't wait to go shopping with you for diaper bag fabric!
ReplyDeleteJosh and I are trying to decide when a "good" time to try for number 2 would be.
Awww, that is the best story! Congrats! And Stace is right, everyone I know is having girls too so maybe you will as well! That is so exciting!
ReplyDeleteAnd I knew a girl in Alaska named Raetta and I have never met anyone since then with that same name! How funny that Kailey came up with that!
P.S. I'm secretly ok with seeing the Star Trek movie too. I hated it as a kid because my parents tried to force me to watch it and the more they did, the more I hated it. This movie looks pretty cool though and not nearly as cheesy as the old version!
Wow! I totally did not see this post going in that direction! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats again! I guess the DS 2nd ward baby cycle is starting again...I wonder whose next?! lol
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Gosh, it seems like in the 2 years since we've moved away babies just keep coming and coming...We'll be back in 2 more years, and I'm excited to see how many more there will be. Who knows, maybe I'll have one of my own by then?
ReplyDeleteI figured I'd congratulate the blog. Congratulations on watching Star Trek, and liking it. (I grew up watching it, but never really mentioned it since you two loathed it so.) Also, congratulations on smuggling a poppy seed. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Holly!! I'm so excited for you! I can't believe you've got another on the way!!! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteHolly, I must admit, I laughed hard when you said you cried 4 times during that movie, but now that I have finished reading your post I totally understand why. Sooooo, Congratulations!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHoly Smokes batman! When I read the title of the blog I had a suspicion. Then when I read you CRIED at the movie, my suspicion grew. You know, its some sort of connection I have with you. The other day I thought to myself "Holly will be pregnant soon." And here you are. I love you. Congratulations. See you next week?
ReplyDeleteLike Clare, I will "congratulate the blog." : )
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm excited!!!! And, I love the name that Kailey picked out for the baby. I think she was really paying attention to the names she would hear in-utero while you were still teaching so she, too, has the advanced skills with names.
Man, you totally ruined the movie for me. J/K.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and good luck!
