Baby Shoes: Back Story with PHOTOS and CAKE

Rate: 16 Flag

This is a response to Wayne Gallant's Open Call .

“It was positive.”

“It was positive?”

“Yes.”

The door opened and my doctor walked in.  I told him I was ready, to which he replied, “Well, we usually don’t do an endometrial biopsy when the woman is pregnant.”   The "positive" they were talking about was my pregnancy test.  He gave me a big hug and I cried.

I LOVED BEING PREGNANT!  Being pregnant is the most cool thing in the world.  I didn't want to know the sex of the baby, but I just knew it would be another strapping boy!  Just in case, I bought gender neutral bedding, clothing but, then I saw them.  I had to buy them!

They were little rugged skate shoes, for the little skater dude growing inside of me!

I had my first son all naturally and intended to do the same this time.  I went into labor and boy did it HURT!  I was determined and after some intense moments with dropping fetal heartbeats and some hyperventilation, a baby would soon be born. I was finally getting to meet the little person (little boy) who I had held in my body for 9 months.

With the final push, the doctor and nurse looked at each other with a look that made me anxious and uncomfortable.  I looked into the birthing mirror and I could see a shock of pink hair and a tiny head crowning out of the birth canal.   One more push and .........

What in the world? I was shocked at first, but when she looked into my eyes with those deep brown eyes, it was love.  My sweet baby girl/troll!

 Oh, how she loved shoes!

My tiny, delicate, troll baby girl would NEVER wear the black skater shoes I had bought.  Not even for Halloween!  Last weekend, I was cleaning out the attic and decided to put this ad on Craig's List:

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."


Due to time constraints and a lack of originality, this is a partial re-post of my post:

I saved my son's belly button in a plastic baggie.

This was originally posted just before OS went down for maintenance and got lost, so I have re-posted with the two comments from last night.
 
This is absolutely fantastic!!! So creative, MB!!!
aww awww!

JK: I noticed it was completely missing from all the feeds. I figured something weird happened with the maintenance. I debated re-posting, but decided that Freaky deserves maximum exposure:-)

Hi Ms. Biceps (MB) - Hilarious post and great pics. How'd you know that I love those Tar Heels (NOT)?

Can't keep up around here. I read about three of these things before I deduced there was an open call. I did see this before and wondered WTF? Thought it tied in to the Iranian shoe thrower. Please place open call designation IN LARGE TYPE for the senior scribblers among us.

Here I thought Freaky was delivered by a pink stork. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm with jimmymac on this. My inbox had all these baby shoes references and I thought everyone was trying to point me to the same post. These are great fun to read, but it would help if we knew it was from the Open Call. Very creative and quite funny!

Grif: What other teams are in North Carolina?
Jimmy and Cartouche: Point well taken.

M B, This was very original and was as funny as it was hilarious! I posted last night too. Bad idea. Maybe I should blog whore it out there again. Good idea M B. I'll try that!

Aw, so sweet! I love baby stuff (even Freaky Troll baby stuff.) I still can't bear to get rid of the tiny, tiny clothes that my kids wore when they were babies. I love those adorable snowman shoes.

clever post and Freaky is always good for some fun. I really enjoyed the past post on how you saved the belly button and described the birth. Thank you for informing me of this post.

I tried birth. But, being a gay man, all I could manage was a lego and three bud light caps (triplets are hell).

Waaay funny and clever. Kids things are so cute, although, in my
capacity as a housecleaner I don't appreciate those teensy little
toy parts so much.

I know Dakini! I have had to dig through vacuum bags for little Lego pieces many times over the years. (I would have written this as a response to your comment, even if CB had not reminded me of Legos).

Positively brilliant, MB. Hilarious and cute. I'm "trolling" for more to say here, but "Troll magic twists trails" to the point I'm lost for those words.

I looooved this post, MB
