Ella Jane Cray

The Birth Story:

I went to work on December 19th and then came home and (finally) set up our christmas tree, i was having some contractions but nothing regular. After i made our house all holidayish i started hurting pretty bad. Michaels friends were over playing some games and because of this stupid pain in my side i retired to the bedroom, hoping that i was just tired and it would go away when i fell asleep. i was so wrong. After laying in bed until about 4 am i decided to go watch some judge judys and wait it out. unfortunately the pain just got worse and worse on my right flank. i was debating if i should go to the hospital or not, but last time i went it was just because of dehydration so i chugged a bunch of water and waited and waited and nothing. so at about 9:30 michael comes out from our room because my crying woke him up (yea i was pretty much a wreck at this point) so he took me to the hospital and the car ride went something like this (me: drive faster, hurry, oh im gonna puke, michael: ok let me pull over, me: NO DONT SLOW DOWN, JUST HURRY) (i wasnt being very pleasant) so we made it to the hospital and after being asked a million questions from the nurses (who i was also not very pleasant to, sorry ladies) they gave me morphine...ahh sweet relief. pretty much after that it became a total blur because i was straight up on drugs the whole time. I guess they came in and did an ultrasound on me (i was out cold) and they concluded that i had a kidney stone. cool. so they basically just drugged me until they decided what they should do since i was almost 38 weeks. They said that they can either just keep me on drugs until i pass it (but that would be a ton a narcotics for baby cray and my dr thought that wouldnt be best for her) or they can induce me and then figure out what they can do about my kidney stones after the baby was born. so on the 21st of december my dr came in and said they are just going to induce me. (i am still on drugs so i was just happy in general and then i passed out again) i had to tell michael (the hospital made him leave because he had a wicked cold and since we were in the birth center area the nurses told him there were too many babies and he could give it to them.) so after i talked to him he packed our bags (we didnt have ANYTHING together) and came to the hospital to spend our last night together before we were a family of three. i wish i could say that we did something romantic or special, but i was still on morphine for the kidney stone so i dont even remember that night.
7:30 am rolls around on Dec. 22 and my dr comes in and breaks my water, then they gave me an epidural and then they gave me pitocin. I was feeling pretty good, i came in dilated at a 2 1/2 and the contractions werent too bad. and then the epidural decided to stop working on my left side and while they were trying to figure out why it was not working on my left side i went from a 4 to 10 (in about a half hour) which was not fun. and then it was time to push and THANKFULLY the epidural kicked in right when i started to push. oh my heavens if i could give any one person any advise on delivery it is GET AN EPIDURAL. it was totally amazing, i knew when i needed to push and THAT WAS IT! after i delivered i told my anesthesiologist i wanted to kiss her. anyways i pushed for just under an hour and then she came. 5 lbs 13.9 oz. 18 1/4" long and beautiful. We had to stay in the hospital a bit longer than average because little miss ella needed some oxygen and she was borderline dangerous zone with jaundice. but we were able to leave christmas eve and we havent had to be readmitted (thankfully) It is so amazing how much i love this little bean and i am so happy to have her home and healthy. WE ARE SO IN LOVE WITH HER!

a few of my favorite things

well since i cant start decorating the nursery until we move back to california in 2 weeks, i have been collecting ideas and doing all of that mentally. here are some ideas!

here are the paint colors:

i love the gray and white stripes :) (i dont really love the other stuff in the nursery though, mainly just the paint)

i love the idea of doing one big letter like this, not to mention i think this color is adorable:


Here is the bedding that we chose, well that my mom is making. It came in the wrong colors so i am having my mom make it :) the colors we are doing are light pink, light yellow, robin egg blue, and gray and we are nixing the owl. I am so excited to see what it looks like when its done!


and i have found THE greatest diaper bag. its only $59 but its made in paris so the shipping is like $30 :( i dont know if i want to spend that much. my goal is to find something exactly like this or make it :)


and here is a painting i did, i thought it would be cute to frame it but i dont know if i like it enough, or if it will match the colors. i guess we will see!

or maybe this one

the 3rd trimester!!!

I am 28 weeks on thursday and I am so excited to be in my last trimester! even though it is going by quick now, it feels like i have been pregnant forever. i really cant remember what my body looked like before(i consider this a good thing, i might be a little depressed if i remember how small my waist was)
well looking back on pregnancy so far i have decided that i was surprised by a lot of things that i didn't know happened while you are pregnant so i decided to list my good and bad experiences

THE BAD
. i have never been so tired in my life
. throwing up is still not out of the ordinary, and during the first trimester i averaged about 5-10 times a day.
. you have to eat all the time to avoid the nausea , so at this point i am so tired of food. this has never happened to me before in my life and it saddens me a little
. constipation (this one i didnt know about) it is terrible and my anti nausea medication i take makes it worse. there have been many embarrassing situations. ones i will not discuss on here because it involves bowel movements. but i could have done without that humiliation.
. you will get pimply looking bumps on your nips. this is normal and dont try to pop them.
. your body COMPLETELY changes. from the inside out. it literally is like getting an entirely new body. i cant really describe it better than that, but trust me you will know what i mean when you go through it.
. my nips got this weird yellow crusty stuff on them, dont worry if this happens to you, it is totally normal. and your welcome because i just saved you from a google search if this happens to you too
.there are some people who will judge you when they see that you are pregnant. especially if you look like your sixteen (like i do) "your pregnant? oh." "is this your first? GOOD"....awwwkward
. trying to fit into clothes. whenever i have to get dressed in the morning there is a sense of dread that washes over me. my old clothes are so tight but maternity clothes(especially the bottoms) are way frumpy fitting and to be honest they dont fit me very well either.
. big boobs. when this first happened i considered it a good thing, but to be honest i hate having to worry about cleavage and falling out of my shirt. i am SO ready to go back to my nearly A
. your belly. not only does it hurt to have your skin stretch but your insides are so squished that i take about 3 bites of any meal and i am out of room!
. your lower back pain, it makes it impossible to do anything comfortably. even sleep

THE GOOD
. seeing that plus sign on the pregnancy test, in one quick second you completely change your way of thinking and priorities. how often does that happen in life?
. finding out what it is. it's so fun to know that you are having a son or daughter, you can start really preparing, and its so fun to refer to the baby as a "her" or "him" instead of "the baby"
. the special treatment. example: i went to a wedding and was starving and they weren't serving food yet, but they let me get my plate before it was time to eat (even before the bride and groom) because i was pregnant. awesome.
. the smiles strangers will give you when they ask when the due date is
. the advice that all woman who have had children feel the need to give. most people find it annoying but i love it. i think its great they care enough to tell me about their experiences, not to mention i can bond with this total stranger that i otherwise wouldn't have
. you get a free pass to get out of just about anything...since i have been pregnant i have not done one full load of laundry, vacuumed, and can count on one hand how many times i have done the dishes. i am just one of the lucky ladies who has a husband that steps up and does everything just so i can rest and then offers to give me a foot rub when he is done cleaning. i picked a good one. i know this wont last forever and have every intention of doing my share of the work after she comes out, but for now i am going to enjoy the break.
. feeling the baby move. words cant even describe.
. seeing my husbands face light up when he first felt her (he still gets excited to feel her kick, she isnt even out yet and she already has him wrapped around her finger)
. the daydreaming. pretty much whenever i have a second to myself i try and guess what she is going to look like, what stories she will like to read, what christmas is going to be like, how fun bath time is going to be...i can go on and on
. guessing what kind of parents michael and i are going to be. We observe other parents in public situations and talk to each other about how we will handle that situation, or what we would have done differently. it is so fun and i think it brings us closer together :)


all in all this is that hardest thing i have ever had to do but i already feel like it is worth it. i also know that some people don't really have symptoms and pregnancy is a breeze, i dont really like to acknowledge or talk to those people (juuuuust kidding) but if i scared you just remember you might be one of the rare ones that has a great experience. either way you are going to be darn lucky because in the end you will get this tiny bundle that is going to mean the world to you.

**26 weeks**

24 weeks

Even though this picture says 5 months i would like everybody to know that i am actually 6 months thank you very much and i love it:)...well love that i am almost done (pregnancy is A LOT harder than i would have ever imagined) at this point in the pregnancy there arent any exciting new developments besides my growing belly! but at 28 weeks we are going to have a 3d ultrasound so that will be fun and i cant wait.
so far baby girl cray:

- not even close to a name..we actually just stopped talking about it for a while, and hopefully one will just POP out at us

- she kicks me ALL the time :) i love it when she does a big strong one and it makes my whole belly move

- i did break 120 lbs but that is far from the first time in my life. haha

- taking baths have been my saving grace for this backpain. baby cray likes them too :) i put on some jams and just soak and sing to her, she digs it :)

- a stranger rubbed my belly for the first time. haha i was not upset and it didnt bother me but when she first did it i just looked at her hand like "uh why is your hand all over my belly?"
the really funny thing was she was rubbing my belly as she was asking if i was pregnant. how awkward would that have been if i wasnt!?

- my belly button used to look like "o" but now it looks like "-" (michael finds this hilarious)

and that is about it!
**23 weeks**



**24 weeks**

20 weeks!

20 weeks!
i am so excited that I am half way done! so i stole this from lisa's blog!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 1 whole lbs. well technically i lost about 8 and gained back 9.

How Big is the Baby: a cantaloupe! she is so big! i remember when she was a raspberry and i was so excited that she was that big, now she is a whole cantaloupe!

Gender: baby girrrrrl!

Maternity Clothes: I have purchased them, because i'm sure they are more comfortable than my super tight pants, but they are still too big. so I am down to one pair of pants that i rubberband.

Best Moment of the Week: feeling her move for the first time! it was so amazing and now i feel her all the time!

Stretch Marks: none yet, but i have decided it is better to just accept the inevitable. i will just look like a tiger. roar.

Movement: yes! i was worried because i didnt feel her until after 20 weeks, but now i feel her all the time! especially in the mornings and early afternoons, hopefully this schedule will continue until she is born so she will sleep at night!

Sleep: it is getting harder to get comfortable with this growing belly, but the body pillow helps A TON!

What I miss: sushi, over-easy eggs, and being able to wear whatever i want! my wardrobe is dwindling.

What I am looking forward to: meeting this beautiful baby girl, deciding on a name, and decorating her nursery!

Symptoms: mm still nauseous and throwing up, my belly is growing, and i am still an emotional roller coaster!

Food Cravings: anything and everything! except steak, blegh.

Belly Button: Still an inny! but barely!

Signs of Labor: nope, and hopefully i wont have any until its time.

i am loving this little girl more and more!!

**20 weeks!!**

18.5 weeks

well little ms. baby cray is now about the size of this weird looking thing and i must admit that time is going by quick! I remember when I was only 8 weeks and thinking how sloooow its going, but now the weeks are flying by! We had another ultrasound and got to get another look at our baby girl. we got to see her spine and brain and hands and feet and her face! the ultrasound tech said she was smiling at us haha! she wasnt moving around too much, just like the last ultrasound but maybe we are just catching her during her rest time. I have been putting off writing this blog, hoping that I could write about how I felt her move for the first time, but she just isnt ready yet. every night before i go to sleep i first lay on my back, really still for about 10 min and after that i try my side for about 10 minutes, hoping to get a little feeling or something, but i guess she will give me a kick when she is ready. besides that, nothing much has happened. I am slowly getting my energy back, but i still have days where i just crash for hours at a time. My nausea is definitely getting better, but i still am throwing up a few days a week. hopefully that will go away soon! I am starting to get a baby bump finally! and my belly button is already starting to poke out! I cant wait until I have that kind of big belly where you know right when you look at me that im pregnant, but at the same time im grateful i dont, my lower back is already struggling with this weird belly. well that is about all, its still surreal that theres a tiny person inside me and in about 5 months she will be apart of my life forever! I just cant wait until i can start feeling her move, then maybe it will seem more real!
**18 weeks**

its a girl!

I am 14 weeks and 4 days pregnant and we found out that i am having a GIRL!!!
We weren't going to go to the fetal studio place until this friday, when i would be just over 15 weeks, but michael didnt want to wait that long, so we called today and they said they have an opening so we left right then and found out! I knew it was going to be a girl though, even before michael and I got married I just knew that when we have kids we were going to have a girl first. She was being difficult, she had her legs crossed and was sitting on her little bum so the ultrasound guy asked me to move around and lay on my side to get a different angle. It was so amazing to see her in there and it made it so much more real! She wasnt moving around too much and the ultrasound guy even called her lazy haha (just like her mom) but after i coughed and poked a bit we got to see her stretch out and yawn and swallow. it was so surreal to see her! when she made the tinniest bit of movement michael and i freaked out each time saying how cute she was! hah it was probably so annoying but we just couldnt believe that this tiny tiny person was inside me!
baby cray :)

this was her stretching :)

we still dont have a name picked, and honestly we arent even close to one because michael and i cannot agree on any of them! haha but we have plenty of time to find the perfect name for her :)
so far the second trimester is better than the first, i am not as tired and not as sick, but i still need to take my prescription to not get nauseous. now i am just so excited to go buy tons a baby clothes and bows and tutus and all that fun stuff! so far this is my favorite nursery that i have seen

I just love that its not heavily themed and i love the wall color paint and the simple white crib. I probably would not have that green chair or those curtains but i LOVE that rug. and look how cute this diaper bag is!
but its $350 and that is just not going to happen, but i can still look at it :) well that is about it! here are some baby bump pictures:

baby update

Well baby cray is 10 weeks and 3 days today!!! It is starting to go by fast which is great because I just cant wait to find out what it is! then the real fun starts and i can start buying stuff :) well symptons so far:

1. NAUSEA: holy moly. starting at week 6 I could not keep anything down. For about 2 weeks I was throwing up about 5-10 times a day. Finally I ended up having to go to the emergency room and getting 2 IVs because i was so dehydrated! which was actually a blessing because the doctor there prescribed me a couple medications which have been heavenly. Now I only get sick about 3 days a week instead of 24/7 which I never would have thought would be good news, but trust me IT IS! so far i have lost about 8 pounds but i gained back 2 since i have been on the prescriptions :)

2. fatigue: let me tell you what, i, sarah lorraine cray, have never been more tired in my life. even when i was playing soccer at byuh and we were doing 3-a-days, that was a piece of cake compared to this! getting ready in the morning is the worst part, i usually have to sit in the shower because im too tired to stand for more than 10 minutes at a time! usually i come home from work and take a nap til michael gets home (about 10:30) and then i eat a quick snack and go to bed. i get about 12-14 hours of sleep but it still isn't enough! i hope what they say is true, and that i will get my energy back after the first trimester! especially for michaels sake, who has picked up ALL of the cleaning and cooking duties (he is going to be such a good dad :)

3. my boobs are huge. HUGE.

4. constipation: ummm am i the only pregnant woman who has this? haha maybe im the only one who would blog about it. first of all i had no idea that this was a common symptom, but you definitely learn a lot of interesting facts about your body when you become pregnant. all i have to say is i took going number 2 for granted, now it is like a full out war. and that is all i am going to say about that. sorry if i grossed you out.

5. emotional: EVERYTHING makes me cry. a commercial, a pretty song that comes on the radio, anything. today i watched top chef (my favorite show) and i was bawling because a woman said she was expecting her second baby. that was it. she just said she was pregnant and i lost it. why? i have no idea. i just cry at everything.

well that is about it, my tummy is definitely getting bigger and harder, but it is probably more from bloating than anything else, i just cant wait til i have a baby bump so people know im pregnant, instead of just having a food baby!!



***9 weeks***


***5 weeks***


i will be better at posting baby bump pictures soon :)

the BIG news

well if you are reading this you are probably already my friend on facebook and know that i am pregnant, but i am going to announce it again anyways and explain how it happened!

Ever since my friend karlie had her adorable twins i was seriously considering trying for a baby (yes call me crazy, but i had baby fever like no other) but i knew that my life would be a billion times easier if i just finished school first. i only have like 2 years left and i am only 21 so i have pleeenty of time for babies. so for a month or so michael and i were going back and forth trying to decide what we want to do and what our goals are. well we finally decided to wait to try at least a few years because michael is thinking of getting his PhD or some sort of higher education so we have a long road of schooling a head of us. thus the decision was made to go in that week and get an iud (which will last like 5 year.) one day i got home from work and i had to go to the bathroom and i started to go, and i stopped myself because i remembered i had a random pregnancy test that i should take to make sure i am not pregnant before i make the dr. appt. so i finished piddling on the stick and set it on the counter. i was a couple weeks late but my cycle is WAY random and i am usually always sporadic so i wasnt too concerned. well i went out into the living room and totally forgot that i took the pregnancy test! i ate dinner, watched a movie, cleaned up, etc and about 4 hours after i took the test i got a call from michael. so while i was talking to him about his day and what we wanted to do that night i was walking aimlessly around our apartment and i went into my bathroom and i spotted the stick. i TOTALLY forgot i took it, so i took a look, not even worried (i really did not think i was pregnant) and there was a plus. a faint little plus. and michael was in the middle of saying something and i said "michael i took a pregnancy test a few hours ago and i just saw it and its saying its positive, im seriously not messing with you there is a plus sign" well we both started freaking out and i had to run to walmart to buy some more pregnancy tests to make sure!! so i got dressed super quick (i broke the zipper on my favorite pair of jeans :/ ) and i ran across the street to walmart with michael on the phone. so i bought one, ran into the walmart bathroom and took a little wiz. within a minute a big YES popped into the screen. so i went out to my car, called michael and we just sat on the phone crying with happiness and complete shock. I then called my sister and continued to sit in the walmart parking lot in my car, crying. it was such an exciting moment and i just couldnt believe it was real!
well after a couple of scary dr.s appointments where we weren't sure if i was going to miscarry or if i just wasnt as far along as i thought i was, we finally figured out that my due date is January 5th, 2012 and i will be 8 weeks on thursday! so far our little bean is developing perfectly and our next appointment is in two weeks! i cant wait and i hope that everything goes ok.
so far pregnancy is SO much harder than i thought it would be. i am tired ALL the time, even though i get at least 10-12 hours of sleep a night i still want to take naps all the time! that is all i think about when im at work! not to mention i am not holding anything down and am running to the bathroom at least 3 times a day. i have no idea how woman do this, especially if its not their first and they have to take care of other little kiddies! i dont know how i am going to do that when that time comes. but i have heard that by the second trimester i should be feeling back to normal and i am crossing my fingers that its true! i will definately keep this updated and start posting picture of my baby bump! (not that i have one yet, but i will!) michael has been SO amazing. he does all the laundry, all the cleaning, all the cooking...basically everything. so all i have to do is go to sleep and go to work. i am very lucky :)

running

this last saturday (march 26, 2011) a few co-workers and I ran the antelope island buffalo run, which is a 25 k. which is 15.5 miles. yes, 15.5 miles. first of all this whole thing was not my idea, i caved into peer pressure. i have never liked running, ever, even though i have played soccer all of my life it was not the same as just running for miles at a time. but i have some crazy fit people at my work that sign up for this kind of thing allll the time, so when they did, they asked if i wanted to do it. i hesitated (i could barely run 3 miles at the time) and then brandon (co-workers) some something along of lines of dont be a pansie. I, Sarah Lorraine Cray, am a lot of things, but not a pansie. So i accepted this challenge with full confidence that i would kick this runs butt and at the same time show how hardcore i am to my fellow friends. If for future reference you decided to do a race/run of any kind let me give you a little advice:
1. train and train hard. i did have a training schedule, but i would take weeks off at a time, and when it came down to it i only ran 6 miles at a time before the 25k. Thats not even half! needless to say i was not prepared.
2. make sure you check out an elevation map, and that you understand what it is saying. Here is the map of my race:

now when i saw this before my race the irrational part of my brain thought "ah there is no way it is that steep, it has to be really gradual, i got it." wrong. it was exactly how it is pictured. it was that steep, in one word: death.
3. have someone to run with. and make sure they dont flake out on you (cough michael cough)
So i know that i should probably say "oh it wasnt that bad" and "it was fun" no that would straight up be a lie. I am going to be honest here, when i was doing it i was so pissed that i signed up for it. i told myself that i would never ever ever do something like this again, and i have never been in so much physical pain in my life. ever. half way through i wasnt even concerned about running the whole time (which i didnt) or my time, i was just focusing on not passing out and putting one foot in front of the other.
Now here comes the crazy part. Even after all of that, and all the things i told myself, 2 days later i signed up for 2 more half marathons. After i finished, the next day all i could think about was going running again! i am now addicted. and i dont get it. but i have a feeling that this new terrible thing is going to now be apart of my life.

9 fun facts

1. I don't like the number four. I just feel like its too perfect. its just too even, its too easy to divide, add, and multiply. the idea of having four kids makes me cringe for some reason, irrational? completely. coincidentally michaels favorite number is four, because its so perfect.

2. Im not sure if you are supposed to tear toilet seat covers to make the hole. I used to do it, and then one day i realized that i usually really have to go to the bathroom if i am going in a public place, and i don't have time to individually rip each one. so i just lay it down and go for it. I, of course, thought it was weird that i didn't rip it anymore so i brought it up to my sister and apparently she doesn't rip the thing either, and that it wasn't that uncommon. Maybe the slits are there so it does tear easier when you poo, instead of tearing it before. I don't know what one is socially acceptable. and i dont know if i will ever know.

3. it makes me uncomfortable when there are a group of people out to dinner and multiple people order the same thing. If i am out to dinner and have picked what i want to eat, then hear that someone else is ordering the same thing, i will change it. even if i want that other dish so much more, i change it. my brother is the same way. i have no idea where this came from.

4. i always brush my teeth right before i leave the house. it doesnt matter if i just brushed my teeth an hour before, or if i am just going out to eat. doesnt matter. i always brush my teeth right before i leave.

5. i always have the same routine when i take a shower. i get in, wet my hair, shampoo it, rinse the shampoo, then i squeeze most of the water out of my hair, then i put in conditioner. while the conditioner is still in i wash my body and shave whatever i feel like shaving, (but i do shave my arm pits every shower) then i rinse most my hair and last but not least i wash my face. every single shower.

6. when i am in my car and i have this huge booger in my nose that i have to get i always go through the same dilemma. what am i going to do with the booger after i get it? harvey isnt around so i cant feed it to him... by this point it is too late and the booger is on my finger, so then i wipe it under my seat. and then i feel bad for whoever will own my car in the future because one day they are going to reach under to adjust the seat or feel for the cell phone they just dropped and they will just get a handful of a bunch of crusties. and then i always think that i will clean it all up before i get rid of this car. and i then i laugh at how ridiculous that is. clean my car? me? no thanks. maybe the future driver wont think its my old boogers when they feel it? im a glass half full kind of person

7. whenever i go to the bathroom in a public restroom that is mostly empty i always have the same flashback
...im little (not sure my age) and my parents are watching a movie and on the screen is this woman going in the stall to go to the bathroom, and she sits down to do her business. then you see this creepy ginger guy peek over the edge of the stall with a wire cord, lowers its, and somehow wraps it around her neck and starts to choke her right then and there! that is the only part i remember from the movie, i have no idea what movie this is and i have yet to see it since.
so whenever i go into a stall to do my business i always wonder if there is a creepy ginger guy in the stall next to me, waiting with a cord.

8. i think it is unfair for me to make michael put the toilet seat down after he uses the bathroom. i mean to be fair we both use the bathroom the same amount. couldnt he get mad at me for not leaving it up? not to mention i am completely capable of putting the seat down myself when i have to go, i am in my 20's. frankly i find it selfish when girls get mad about it.

9. when my co workers go to pick up lunch for us and i give them my card to pay for it, i have this irrational fear that it will be declined. even if 2 seconds before i check my account and see that i have plenty of money,even if i know i was paid that day, even if its only a $4 meal, i still have this dark feeling inside. so i choose to hand them my whole wallet, and i then point out which cards they can use just in case it wont go through. i would rather avoid that embarrassment, so i take precautions.



the end

9 things i could live without

1. girls who wear backless/sleeveless shirts with regular bras.




2. girls who wear backpacks AND purses to school...is it necessary? can you not fit your phone and wallet in your backpack also? are you really trying to make a fashion statement with a huge a backpack? I DONT GET IT!! someone please explain it to me


3. chubby girls with belly button rings. I am not a fan of belly button rings in general, but if you have a hardcore stomach i can let it pass....but if are all flab, just say no.




4. wedge or platform flipflops. im irritated that these thing were ever invented and that girls are dumb enough to wear them.




5. people that have a MILLION profile pictures on facebook or albums that are dedicated to just pictures of them....uh are you kidding me?

... no picture because i didnt want to point some of my friends on facebook out...but they are out there!


6.when people crop themselves out of an original image and post BOTH pictures...just choose one! if you just like you in that picture that is totally cool, crop the shiz out of it! just dont put both pictures..i feel like you are saying f you to whoever didnt make the cut in the second picture! i made one as an example :)





7. everything on this list
http://funnycrave.com/the-5-worst-possible-facebook-status-updates/8117/



8. duck lip pics as profile pictures...
