now you wanna run wild.

@gretchenabrams: the nightly routine of getting carl to strip down in the garage, put his uniform in a trash bag and tie it shut, getting olivia to get out of the way for two seconds so i can get it from the garage to the laundry room so i can wash it on high heat with the antibacterial detergent and then wash my hands (while she's literally trailing me doing the whole 'mom, mom, mom' thing the entire time, bonus: harley is probably crying)...has just become entertaining as hell.

@gretchenabrams: the moment of peace when carl and i can either shower or take a bath together is what i live for, i promise you faithfully. lol.

[gretchenxnevaeh]

@gretchenabrams: my new favorite thing is when olivia sees baby yoda (we literally /all/ have shirts and i have a popsocket) she goes 'a baby!' and it's the cutest thing in the entire world.

both kids are napping at the same time for once, so naturally i’m trying on the clothes i’ve ordered that have been chilling in the box for the last week and a half.

fourteen long, painful hours of labor later and i’m now the mommy of this sweet boy, who apparently looks exactly like all of my baby pictures...so i guess since his sister had to favor her daddy, he had to come out looking exactly like me. hope that’s a blessing for you in the end, little dude, and not a curse. i love you, harley...and i’m so excited to watch you grow up. you dad, your sissy, and i love you very much. <3

text to leo.

Leo: im okay waiting in the waiting room

Leo: plus i don't have to think you're actually dying this time and having a mini break down

gretchen: okay, cool! you won't be alone. jos and leighton will be there and probably my step-dad (harrison) and possibly my dad depending on if he wants to see this happening or thinks it's going to be mentally scarring. lol.

gretchen: exactly! haha.

text to dorian.

Dorian: Gretchen, that's great!

Dorian: But you know this dorian, not your father right? Though I'm sure he'd love to have Liv here for a bit.

gretchen: thanks c: i'm excited and nervous. it's starting to hurt and it's freaking me out. haha.

gretchen: yeah, of course i know it's you. lol.

gretchen: i was asking you because dad will be with us, and i don't know how long this will take so it may be an all night thing...and liv can't be by herself, so!

Leo: everything is done?
