I truly wish I'd gone through the crazy nesting like some moms do. My house would have been the better for it, let me tell you. This story continues to be real, sincere, funny, entertaining, and joyful. It is a delight.
Author's Response:
As are your reviews. :) Thank you for making my day.
I need to nest too. My apartment cannot seem to stay clean for more than a week at a time.

I keep reading these letters over and over! I love them, you're amazing! Keep them coming!!!
Author's Response: Two more will be on their way shortly! I'm so glad that you like them! Thank you for the review.

Oh gods, I sucked as a babysitter.
Author's Response: Hee! Do your kids know that? LOL!

I'm loving this. I want to do this for my future children. You've captured Pam for sure, and I like that she has a way to voice all the insecurities and crazy thoughts that soon-to-be mommies have.
Author's Response: Thank you so much. And I never thought about it before but now I do too!! So happy you like it!

There are two sentences in this chapter in which I could really hear Pam in my head:
• Wait. If you have to keep saying you're still cool does that really mean the opposite?
• OK. That is a really ridiculous plan.
Author's Response:
I am so glad to hear that! I love it when people think it's Pam and not me talking.
Sometimes even I can't tell. :)

Well you've done it again, another perfect update. I am excited for Pam to have little bean but I DON'T want this to end. Maybe she can continue to write letters after she or he arrives!!
Author's Response: LOL! Maybe. Right now I'm trying to just get Bean here so...the rest will have to wait a while. I also would really like to see what happens on the show before I start writing what happens...after. I'm weird like that. But I'm so very glad you're enjoying it so far. Thank you so much for the review!

I don't even know what to say!
This is SO Pam! It is incredible!!!!
Author's Response:
It's OK! I appreciate your saying anything at all. Thanks so much!

Aww, TYDTWD Pam returns! I saw a blue Yaris the other day and I wondered how long it would take Jim to get Pam a minivan. (Yes, that is terribly paternalistic that Jim would take over Pam's car issues, but Jim seems to go through cars like ties.)
Damn, girl, you are not making the wait for pregnant Pam and proud papa-to-be Jim any easier!
Author's Response:
That was the whole motivation for this whole chapter, Jim and Pam and a minivan. The rest of the stuff? Just late stages of pregnancy insanity. At least that's what babycenter tells me. ;)
Thanks as always for the review. :)

Pam, you better hope Bean isn't 15 pounds already. Because really, if she's 15 pounds already, try imagining the like 30 pound baby you'd have to deliver... eek!
Oh, and I think my car is infinitley cooler with a carseat in the back. Actually, it just makes me feel weird and grownup, but I still kind of like it! And its not a minivan... its a station wagon. Man, I'm really already a parent aren't I?
Pam, they are right. It is NOT easy. In fact, every single parent I've met tells me how much it sucks. Also tells me how much marriage sucks. So, it seems you've got a pretty good marriage part Pam, so obviously, parenthood is going to be easy. Or ya know. something. But whatever. Parenthood is impossible and no fun. But then the baby smiles and loves you and damn, its all worth it again.
(or says your name and makes your heart swell a thousand times and you just want to love and kiss her and scream with happiness.... okay, so maybe that's just because my baby is finally saying my name...)
But really Pam.... you will be totally helpless and frustrated because that's the job of new mothers. But its... it happens. I think.
Author's Response:
I have a voicemail message from my nieces on my phone and my heart literally aches when I listen to it. There is nothing, nothing, nothing in the world better than that.
If I'm like this with them I cannot imagine what I'll be like with my own kids. Insanity.
LOL! I love that you wrote this whole review like you were talking to Pam. You never cease to crack me up, Em. In a good way, I promise. :)

I love how this is Pam's story, but we're still hearing about Jim, and probably more honestly than if it was Jim himself.
Poor Pam being all freaked out and nesting - I do wonder where his sexy Stamford suits/ties are now though? lol
Awesome!
Author's Response: Thank you. That's really what I'm trying to do here. We don't get much of how Pam sees Jim so I'm just taking the liberty to fill in the blanks. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

It's always soo good! I squeal every time I see a new chapter! Awesome job!

Author's Response: Squealing is good. :) Thank you so much!

I can't describe how excited I get when you post a new chapter. Very cool idea and I love the sweetness and humour in your writing.
Author's Response: Well that is very sweet of you to say. Thank you so much!!! I am so glad you are enjoying it.

I can't believe you're ALMOST there! I love it how Pam rambles on with the minivan issue, alo saying that they're still cool along with the other things involving getting ready for the baby. You should defintely continue when the baby is born and after it. You know, to see what Jim and Pam is dealing with a newborn. Just a suggestion..*shrugs*
Author's Response: I know. Those 7 or so months went pretty fast. LOL! I'm glad you liked that part. It was the beginning of this chapter for me - thinking that they'd be getting a new car. I might continue this...but maybe not till the fall. I want to see how different my version is from the writers first I think.
Date: June 15, 2009 05:16 pm Title: Chapter 8
Almost there?! I want this to go on indefinitely. It never fails to brighten my day.
Author's Response: Well it only takes so long to have a baby you know. LOL! I'm happy though that you don't want it to end. I don't think you have to worry about me writing something else post pregnancy. I just might wait till the fall to get there. :)

Nice working in Pam's old fears about kids - and also, how she knows (even if she's kidding...sort of) that Jim will compensate for her (misconceived) shortcomings. And oh no! The dreaded minivan! (Just priced renting one today, to get my little baby to school with all her belongings in a couple of months...sob.) Oh well, I'm rambling, but this fic is like a good sitcom - lots of good, consistent episodes that make me smile and look forward to the next.
Author's Response: Aww colette. Hugs to you for seeing your baby off. :( I figure Pam would eventually start to freak and thought that this was a good time to bring it up. There's not a lot of time left. :) Thank you as always for the review. I'm so glad you're enjoying this.
