Hee! I love that he bought something as utterly ridiculous as a lawn chair. That's perfect.
Author's Response:
Hee! We have a couple at my parents for my nieces - they are so cute when they sit in them.
OK - they're just cute. :)

Well, at least Jim has an excuse. I want to buy stuff for kids that are not even my own. I swear, I walk buy stuff and am like "Aww, O would like that!" "Dude, Baby would look so cute in that" "Little Dude has that same one"....
And then I realize I need to stop buying stuff for all my kids because it makes me bankrupt.
Dude, it makes me feel old when I realize how old some of my kids are. I've known a few since they were born and such, and every birthday I just freak. Its like "no way are you 6!" "no way are you 13!"
Its kind of painful.
Author's Response: It's terrible. I want to buy my nieces every single thing I see. But I don't know - I can totally see Jim picking stuff up everywhere he goes like this.

I love these little letters, and you've totally nailed Pam's voice. And Jim's oddities... :)
The whole P.S. on this one got me misty-eyed, no premature babies please! I just lost my patient for the first time, and it's totally shaken me up and made me really think about my line of work as a NICU nurse... I'd gladly go jobless if it meant no more babies coming out too early.
Author's Response: Aww StarShine. *hugs* No worries here. Just happy, healthy full term babies. I promise. So glad you're enjoying it.

I've been guilty of reading (and enjoying this) without reviewing. Well, no longer. This was a very touching chapter - especially the part about Bean's room being the same as Jim's when he was younger. I just love this fic!
Author's Response: You are very sweet. Always lovely to hear from you. :) I just hope all my imaginings don't pale in comparison to what we actually see you know? Anyway - thank you so much for stopping by. Come back soon.

Guh. I cannot wait for a glimmer of Jim going overboard with his joy about becoming a daddy. Comedy gold with a sweet & gooey center.
Author's Response: Seriously. Is it September yet? :)

Perfect :)
Author's Response: Well I am sure that's arguable - but thanks for saying so!

This has become my favorite story. I get so excited when I see you have updated. I seem to be reading this with a silly grin on my face the whole time. Great job.
Author's Response: [b]kh[/b] your review made my day. I am so happy you're enjoying it. Thank you so much!

I absolutely adore this series. I know it's Pam-centric but I hope you do a Jim guest shot. Loving it!
Author's Response:
I'm so glad. Thank you!!!

This is my favorite chapter yet...they've all been great, but this one for me tops them all. You managed to cover so much ground in such a short amount of space here...just the little details about them spinning around the kitchen, how Pam feels when people touch her, how freaking adorable Jim is with his Grandpa-esque sports on the radio and how he's introducing baby Halpert to good music. I also loved the details about him never buying another iPod for himself -- especially now. Again, just such a great chapter.
Author's Response:
The kitchen thing was incredibly self indulgent - I just want to see them do that - or at least like imagining it. Jim is totally grandpa-esque and you know he's a music geek.
I am so very glad you liked it. Especially coming from such a baby connoisseur as yourself. ;)

"Your father likes to listen to baseball on the radio. He says that's what his grandpa used to do. I love that about him."
That. Is. Awesome.
Author's Response:
That's actually me - and my whole family. We are baseball geeks.
I didn't think it was beyond the realm of possibility for Jim to be one too. So... I made him one.
Glad to know you appreciate the thought. :)

A little lawn chair with umbrella? How do you come up with these precious little details?
By the way, your dad is the only person who has permission to touch my stomach any time the mood strikes him. I absolutely love it when he does that. Just thinking about that? Guh.
And this: You're going to be the very first person I know from the moment they were born. That's a pretty amazing thought--and I'm a mom!
So enjoying this, Hugs.
Author's Response:
I might have thought a little too much what it'll be like when/if I have kids.
Maybe.
Possibly.
:) Glad to know someone who has actually has had the experience is enjoying it. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me so.

Super cute, especially Jim buying all the random stuff while being sent out to buy milk lol
Author's Response: I just think it's something he would do. :) Glad you're enjoying it!

Awesome... Once again.. that was great.. It kinda made me want to re-read all the other chapters again! I can't wait for the "spoiler" you mentioned about Jim.... You are a great writer...
-D
Author's Response: [b]Dedeen[/b] you are incredibly sweet. Thank you so much for the review. I am so very glad you are enjoying the story!

This is adorable. I can just see Jim out there, buying toddler size things at random when he's out to buy something totally unrelated. Love the way you phrase Pam's thoughts about starting a family in the house Jim grew up in. Playing music to Pam's tummy. (I remember doing that with my Young Blood almost 20 years ago!) All very sweet.
Author's Response: I know I can see it - but I'm so glad there are others who share my vision. So glad it rings true to you. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me so!

Aw, I love how Jim is just so excited and singing the cheesy '80s. That's just too adorable. I agree how Pam feels how people are trying to touch her belly and swatting Michael's hand every second. At the end, I love how Pam takes it back about waiting for the baby to arrive. After all, I got to say is that keep up the great work and I can't wait for more! =)
Author's Response:
I'm trying to reply more quickly! I'm glad you're still enjoying it. You'll have to wait a little bit - but I'm tweaking as fast as I can.
Sit tight. We're almost there. Just a few more chapters to go!
