Fair Warning

This is me normally. Nice, happy fish just swimming around being friendly. "Oh hi, hey, no big deal, everything's cool." Avoiding conflict whenever possible...

Today, however? After several loving, well-meaning people over the last couple of days have called my unborn child by her full, legal name...apparently I have decided that since I can't control anything else at all, I'm going to get all hung up on what people call this baby when they're talking to me. And I mean ALL hung up on it. It's ridiculous, and slightly hilarious because I can completely see the absurdity of my behavior. May you laugh at me with me? Absolutely not, sorry to disappoint. I'm just telling you all this as a warning:

CALL THE BABY KATIE, DANGIT!!!!!
(or Katie Claire...these are the only two options)

What's sad is that this is a pretty accurate representation of how I actually look right now. I'm spherical. And all spiky and grumpy. Awesome! =)

Can I call her K.C. or will that also place me in the land of persona nongrata? And yes, I do realize this is NOT the time for a joke but what can I say...

I totally get it. It SERIOUSLY rubs me the wrong way when people (especially those not particularly close to the fam) decide to call her by a nickname. Hate it!!!! That is not the name we decided she would go by. It's presumptuous. K, stepping down now :)
