Sometimes I even stayed up a little longer holding A in my arms if it was a really great one! <br /><br />Also, having a baby when the Olympics are on is kind of fun. I got to see all of the gymnastics and swimming that I'd ever want to see in a lifetime!!!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000713602351136036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-77156370594729582242010-01-14T22:25:42.024-06:002010-01-14T22:25:42.024-06:00Oh how I miss my Gilmore Girls *sniff* I can't...Oh how I miss my Gilmore Girls *sniff* I can't quote any moments (mainly because those girls talked a lot)<br /><br />I'm totally going to watch the new show though;)Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625673916138703709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-15177901863855538202010-01-14T19:25:52.743-06:002010-01-14T19:25:52.743-06:00Obviously meant "Where you Lead " as lul...Obviously meant "Where you Lead " as lullaby up there, not the Pretty in Pink soundtrack song, though that might be nice, too.E...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04405932437380095945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-1332708863515965102010-01-14T14:25:38.797-06:002010-01-14T14:25:38.797-06:00I have so much love for Gilmore Girls that I fear ...I have so much love for Gilmore Girls that I fear my comment here may turn into a full fledged post of its own. Not too long ago, J and I were watching something. I can't remember what right now, maybe it was The Proposal? When a new minor character came on, I shouted "Kirk!!" as if a long lost family member had just arrived on my doorstop. It made me so homesick to see him, even as another character. <br />I too, watched a fair number of episodes of Gilmore Girls while I was in the nursing/nesting stage of new motherhood. Also, this is when I first discovered The Amazing Race, back when they aired all the seasons on the Game Show Network, and I DVR'd them all. <br />I remember singing "If you leave..." to O. often as a lullaby. I have a t-shirt that says "Reading Is Sexy" that I ordered after I saw Rory wearing it, the only item I have ever looked up and purchased in conjunction with a tv show (though I was tempted by a Slap Bet Commissioner t-shirt!). I feel the urge to utter "Oy with the poodles" more often than I care to admit. <br />I have only one episode saved on my DVR -- the final one. And though it's not my favorite, I can't BEAR to erase it, even when I'm 94% full.<br />I think we should plan right now a mother/daughter viewing party for 2022.E...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04405932437380095945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-20446509587957075692010-01-14T14:24:10.497-06:002010-01-14T14:24:10.497-06:00I did watch Gilmore Girls when it was on, although...I did watch Gilmore Girls when it was on, although I didn't last the whole series. It kind of lost me when Rory went away to college. I do like Lauren Graham, though, and look forward to Parenthood.<br /><br />I didn't have one show that got me through early motherhood. Honestly, I don't remember those days all that well. They are a blur of sore boobies and sleepless nights. At some point, my saving grace became blogging, but that wasn't until Sophie was at least 6 months old. Basically, I have a six month whole in my memory.

But...Naturally, I've never seen Gilmore Girls. But I associate Acey's early days with an Elizabeth Mitchell CD, "You are my little bird" which came as a baby gift. I remember being holed up in the first snow of 2009, nursing Acey in our new glider, listening to the gentle folk music. It wasn't all idealic for us, but most of what I remember has the blur of joyful relaxation that your memories of Baby Bub has.Actchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320025313541534433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-40138177205712448302010-01-14T10:06:53.542-06:002010-01-14T10:06:53.542-06:00My sister sent me DVDs of Big Love and Weeds after...My sister sent me DVDs of Big Love and Weeds after my second was born. Strange that I associate that time with polygamy and pot, what whatever gets you through the day! <br />I do love discovering a show, knowing that I will like it and having all these episodes in front of me to devour. I'm going through that now with Mad Men. It all started when Colleen mentioned that Mad Men was on "on demand" with Comcast that night we had dinner last fall.Sue and Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821391041886813101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-45038971579789724002010-01-14T07:15:35.341-06:002010-01-14T07:15:35.341-06:00I loved Gilmore Girls too.

I just saw the preview for Parenthood yesterday and got super excited! <br /><br />Everything about the show was wonderful. If I have a daughter one day....I may actually name her Lorelai. ;-0<br /><br />Thanks for bringing back memories of the show....it made me smile!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14421278468805245414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-48297404916769880862010-01-13T23:35:11.612-06:002010-01-13T23:35:11.612-06:00Sara, I was so happy to read your comment, to know...Sara, I was so happy to read your comment, to know that my passion for the series and need to watch certain episodes repeatedly is not abnormal. I will summarize some of my favorite moments to rewatch,(also saved on my DVR):<br />I guess I should say Spoiler Alert in case anyone is reading who thinks they want to go back and watch the series???<br />1. Karaoke. "I Will Always Love You" came on in the car last week and my 5 year old daughter said, "Oh this is the Lorelei song." Do you think I watch it often?<br />2. The First Date with the Horoscope Scene. Also enjoy the town meeting where Luke concedes the town to Lorelei in the event of a breakup and she asks him to tell about the horoscope.<br />3. The Opening of the Dragonfly. <br />4. Bon Voyage. I watch, always hoping that somehow the episode gets extended and we get to see a little more of the happily ever after in Stars Hollow.<br /><br />So much more that I love. Emily, Paris, so many good characters.<br /><br />MEP - To answer your question, Dawsons Creek was my go to show (watched entire series) after Fancy was born. THis was pre DVR days so it actually took some planning to catch the episodes in order. I will also admit that ABC Family ran day long catch ups on all Secret Life of the American Teenager episodes just days after Wookie was born. While m had the other girls I was able to catch up in no time and sadly, (as it an odd show where quasi wholesome teenagers say the word "sex" excessively) have remained a viewer. At a holiday party I was approached by another mom who gave birth a couple weeks before me and that mom asked me if by chance I watched Secret Life. She revealed that she got hooked during marathon and was hoping that I had too so that we could discuss the new season.LAPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-80535809465463964392010-01-13T21:39:22.252-06:002010-01-13T21:39:22.252-06:00Oh, Meg, my mom just finished the whole series jus...Oh, Meg, my mom just finished the whole series just a few hours ago, and she's feeling sad, I think. I love the show more than one should love a show--and maybe because I too have the emotional connections to it (I watched the Dance Marathon one while in labor with Julia). <br /><br />I can't believe you've only seen the episodes only once. I keep some on my DVR and rotate them when I need a pick-me-up or need background noise (wrapping Xmas presents and such).<br /><br />Oh, how I miss those Gilmore Girls.
