Someday I'll wish upon a star

[Filtered to Friends]

Danny, I am so happy for you guys! And Tom, your nephew is SO cute. So. Many. Babies. It's wonderful.

Speaking of babies, who wants to see some adorable pictures of Keith?

( they're right here! )

Okay, going to do Nell's meme since I can't move - Keith fell asleep in my lap and I kinda like it too much to move him. :)

Finally!

Everyone, say hi to Keith Quentin Scott, who was born yesterday at 5.54AM. He weighs 8lb 5oz, is 21 1/2 inches long.

And the most adorable thing I have ever seen.












I'm exhausted but already home from the hospital - things went perfectly - painfully, but perfectly - and we're all doing great.

I have never been happier in my life. Lucas is already an amazing dad. Now, I'm going to go sleep because he'll be hungry in another hour and a half. :)

Everyone's having their babies! Natalie had little Aleph, and Victoria Beckham had Harper. I was an embarrassingly huge Spice Girls fan when I was younger. I met her at a fashion thing a couple months ago, and we talked a little about babies. I'm so happy for her. And Natalie too, she's a close friend of mine. I SO can't wait for the playdates! Of course, it seems like EVERYONE is having babies right now. It's really awesome to know so many people who are going through the same stuff.

Including Lucas' mom which was a little weird at first, but since it's her third time to do this and my first she's a lot calmer than me about everything. And she can calm me down when I get panicked.

We keep asking Haley when she's gonna join us, and I think she's maybe wavering. I'd love for my son to have a cousin close in age as well as an aunt or uncle. Jamie would love to be a big brother, and he's proof they make adorable kids.

Anyway. No sign of my little one making an appearance yet, but I'm hoping it'll be soon. I feel like I'm ready to pop. I basically walk from bed to the couch in the morning, and aside from a billion bathroom breaks I don't move until I go to bed again. It's so WARM, too. Next time I do this it won't be during the hottest part of the summer, that's for sure.

But I'm due in a week and a half, and the doctor says it could be any day now! So exciting. I'll keep you posted, and Lucas will update when the little guy gets here. (cross your fingers that it's soon, for my sake!)

I can't believe I haven't posted these yet. I'm officially 8 months pregnant now, and entering the home stretch. 4 more weeks, or maybe even less. (Hopefully less. This baby's tall like his daddy, and he's running out of space!)

( loads of belly shots under here! )

I'm camped on the sofa with snacks and sparkling apple juice, ready for the royal wedding coverage to start.

I LOVE weddings! And this one is so huge. :)

ETA: Oh, my. Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, an absolutely divine dress. Simple, elegant, classy.



I've been crying since Prince William arrived at the Abbey. Weddings always get to me, and the hormones are not helping.

As soon as they do the balcony kiss, I'm heading back to bed, though. So sleepy!

I know, it's been so long since I've posted here. But work's been crazy, and we moved house, and you know, I'm growing a person.

Everything's going great with the pregnancy, I am absolutely loving it. I love my bump, and I can feel him kicking more and more. Yes, him! It's a boy. We have a name picked out but we're not gonna tell anyone 'till he gets here. Which will be soon, especially if the next two months go as fast as the past 7 have.

Okay, so here are pictures of our new house!

( under here! )

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well.

We have an announcement to make.

I'm pregnant! I'm gonna be a mom. And Lucas is gonna be a daddy - an amazing one.

We're so excited. The baby is due in August, which seems so far away and also so close. We've got so much stuff to do, including look for a place to live! We love Lucas' place, but we want somewhere bigger that we can grow into as a family.

But we really are so happy. So far I've been tired and sick but it's so worth it. I can't wait to meet this baby. :)

Hey, guys.

So, Lucas' birthday is the 24th, next Tuesday. We're gonna be in Cabo then (thanks, Danny!), but we're having a surprise party for him this weekend so he can celebrate with his family (and so Jamie and Lily can have a moon bounce...)

It's this Saturday, if anyone wants to come. I know most of you guys are far away and busy but you're all welcome if you want to drop by. It's at Karen and Andy's place at 3.30.

And it's a surprise, remember! So no telling Lucas. :D

Did everyone have a good weekend? Mine was amazing.

I spent it with my boyfriend. :) My sexy, sweet, amazing boyfriend. You guys might know him - Lucas Scott.

I've had feelings for him for a while - I think I've always been in love with him deep down. And I finally worked up the courage to tell him this weekend. So glad I did, because we're together now and I can't stop smiling.

Nathan's a Bobcat!

When he had his accident, I posted that it wasn't fair. That he and Haley deserved to have all of their dreams come true because of everything they'd been through. Well, they've been through even more crappy stuff since then. And so this is really amazing, and completely brightened my day.

See, Nathan and Haley give me hope. They always have. I look at them and I see that no matter what life throws at them, they get through it eventually. And it's because they love each other so much. It makes me believe that kind of love could happen for me too.

Sam's gone.

She's moved in with her birth mom. It's great for her, that she has this chance to get to know her real mom.

Peyton leaves today for LA. I have Haley, Millie and of course Lucas, so it's not like I'll be alone. But I'll miss them both a lot.

So, Sam's meeting her birth mom at the diner right now, and I'm sitting in my store trying not to run down there and spy check on them.

I'm okay with it, I am. I encouraged Sam to go see her after her birth mom sent her letters, I think it could give her closure. And I still think that.

This is their third meeting in a week and it's great for Sam. I just - I don't want her to get hurt by all this. I'm probably being a little overprotective but I can't help it.

I need distractions.

[Private Entry]

I told Peyton, and she seems okay with the Lucas thing. So you know, that's one of the main reasons that I have for not saying anything to him out the window. Not that there aren't others.

I mean, he's still recently divorced and probably not ready for more 'I'm still in love with you drama.' It's not like Peyton's blessing means I can go right out and tell him how I feel and expect everything to work out perfectly.

But when I'm not worrying about Sam and her mom, I'm thinking about him. And it's driving me crazy.

Oh my God, Lily Scott is adorable. She's so cute and sweet and shy! I just met her yesterday for the first time and I love her. :)

Hope everyone has a good 4th July!

I'm so sorry I haven't been around lately. Life's been hectic between Sam and work.

My mom came back, and wanted me to come back to clothes over bros. It was tanking without me. It was a tough decision to make, but in the end I did it. I own 51% now, though. It's mine again.

So I've been getting settled back in, working on designs. And I've actually had inspiration, too. It feels good, for the longest time I was finding it hard to come up with anything.

Sam's doing good, but her friend Jack got placed in a foster home in Charlotte. I think he's kinda more than a friend, and she's missing him a lot.

I've also been working on the movie, and it's going to be great. I can just tell. Charlie's amazing, watching him as Lucas is actually a little weird. Just because he's so good at it, and he looks so much like him.

Anyway, that's about all that's happening with me. Hope everyone else is doing okay.

So, Sam ditched school this week. With her entire class. To go Haley's, so she could have an English class.

I think that counts as a good thing, right?

Okay, background. Sam wrote this amazing essay about her experiences as a foster child, and Haley published it in the school magazine, even though the bitchy principal told her not to. Because, well, Haley is a good teacher. And she refused to apologise, so she was fired.

Sam's class didn't approve of that. So they all walked out and went to Haley's, where they sorta forced her to teach them.

She's a good kid. I'm really proud of how much she's grown. I never would have gone to that much trouble to learn something when I was her age.

This mom thing is pretty awesome sometimes.

So, I should give you all an update...

Sam is doing great. She won the essay contest at school. Her entry was really honest and tough to read, and dark. About growing up in foster care, and her friend Jack who she's super worried about. He's been missing since his brother went to jail. Poor kid.

I'm making the costumes for Ravens. It's actually fun, going back and thinking about what we all wore back then. I had to make Haley's poncho, which was hilarious, and most of what Peyton wore back then was kinda awful too. And I've made Ravens uniforms, and cheerleading outfits, and letterman jackets... all very fun.

What's not fun is the person playing me. OMG, she's irritating. She's a method actress, which means she's insane, and she's stalking me and asking me incredibly personal and irritating questions all. the. time. I swear, I'm gonna kill her if she doesn't back off soon.

Okay, you all probably read about it in the press, so I should probably come clean.

I didn't fall down the stairs, I lied. My store was robbed and I was attacked.

I was closed off and really ... numb right after it, but I'm doing a lot better now.

And yesterday, I found the guy that attacked me. He was the brother of a friend of Sam's, and he had her. And - he was the one who shot Quentin Fields.

I'm fine now, so is Sam, and he's in jail.

Now, I have to go deal with the press some more.

Ugh.

Sam is missing.

I've been looking for her all night, and I don't know where she is, and it's my fault she left.

God, I hope she's okay.

Hope you have a great day!

It sounds like Nell already has that covered, but I can't wait for the party on Saturday. :)
