Guys, you can breathe a huge sigh of relief

[TrudyCampbell]

because the little old stocking ladies got back to me and they can accommodate my order for a new stocking this year even though they are booked through 2014. And actually, I am getting two JUST IN CASE I birth another human in my lifetime. If I have twins during my 3rd pregnancy I will be forced to sell one of the children. It will be sad, but there really is no other option. 

I know this was causing many sleepless nights for a lot of you so you can now relax and know that my fireplace will be adorned with the appropriate number of stockings this year.

My stomach has been in knots because of this.

I kinda can't wait to watch Christmas Trudy and very pregnant Trudy collide. It's gonna be great!

See, having another baby isn't that hard. You've already covered the essentials.

I think it's kind of like watching an eclipse.  You're not supposed to look directly at it.  But you can build that cardboard box thing with the pinhole. . . . .

Thank Goodness. Pregnant Trudy is sassy (which autocorrected to daddy BTW), snarky (which is now shaky)and those ladies wouldn't have known what hit them.

Also I think my autocorrect is trying to tell me something about Mr. Trudy

And look: you can just choose one of the names from the sample stockings for your baby. Win win!

[spaghetticat]

Ch @ this whole thread. Did you give them the whole story to play on their grandmotherly feelings?

You have a Giggy and a Miles? Poor giggy

Umm... I know! I first placed my order in 2009 and didn't get them until 2011 and by that time I had gotten another dog AND was pregnant! It was devastating. And thennnn we tried to con them into making us an additional one for Miles (my dog) by pretending we had a baby names Miles. It didn't work, at all, and it actually backfired because they were like "don't you want one for Miles (your son) instead of Ziggy (your dog)?" So of course I am not a shitty mother and I had to go along with that plan and then my poor sweet Ziggy didn't get the stocking he deserved!

These ladies are in their 80s and I don't see this business lasting much longer. They would have never accommodated my request for another stocking but I did mention two years ago that I wanted three additional stockings and then last year they only made me one sooo they owe me two more! 

I am a psychopath. These ladies are going to be SO GLAD to be done with the likes of me!

I was just lying in bed last night awake unable to sleep wondering "what about the stockings? what will trudy do about the stockings!!!"

now I can sleep tonight.

[Faevantastic]

I want. The fact that I can't get them (til 2014) makes me want them more.

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Damn, Trudy. If we hear of a little old lady found with a half-made stocking in her stiff, dead hands ... well, we'll know it was your fault.

They are actually booked THROUGH 2014 so you'd get them Christmas 2015

They better not die before they make mine! 

That's why I'm getting two this year. I'm not chancing this shit!

You never know when they all might spontaneously combust together or get swallowed in a big sinkhole.
