Announcement
I have a huge announcement to make.
So huge.
Mind-blowing, you could say.Â
Ladies and gentleman…
My husband and I are happy to announce…
…Â that we are having a baby!
I know!!!!
Yep, I’m expecting. Knocked up. In the family way. Renting out the guest room. With child. Awaiting the Wiggles invasion. Moving a prototype into production. Federlined. Got a bun in the oven. On stork watch. In a delicate condition. Following in Brangelina’s footsteps. Eating for two.
In other words, I’m PREGNANT!
It came as a bit of a surprise, but we’re very excited and looking forward to (and simultaneously absolutely terrified of) being parents.
I was going to try and wait until I was through the first trimester before I told the whole Interweb, but… well, I’m horrible at keeping secrets and I just couldn’t stand it any more. (BTW, I’m 6 weeks along and due on April 4, 2009. And I’m convinced–don’t ask me how or why–that it’s a boy.) Anyway, I figured that whether things go smashingly well or not so smoothly, my posting frequency may eventually be affected and you might as well know why…
Please send happy thoughts to the Bean (according to Google, the baby is the size of a lentil bean today), who is currently making his mother feel a bit seasick…
oh my goodness congratulations! Did you know at blogher?!
I believe congratulations are in order … congratulations!
Congratulations!!!
OHMYGOSH. Congrats! That is so exciting!

WOW, so excited for you!!! I can understand being terrified, but your amazing focus and sense of humor is sure to help guide you!!!
Well, you told me you were going to announce it on Friday…and I see you could only wait 12 minutes into Friday before doing so (not that I blame you!). You already know how excited and happy I am for you, my friend. You’re going to be a wonderful parent! I’m looking forward to following you along with you on your journey (both online and in person).
yay for growing your own little bean!!
Congrats! I barely know you and when I read that I had a huge smile on my face! I’m very excited for you
Congratulations! You are going to be such a good mother. And having a baby will put your personal growth into overdrive!
Congrats!!!
[…] Something unexpected happened* (something wonderful, but earth-shattering) that has totally shifted our priorities, rendering our perfect, amazing plan irrelevant given our new circumstances. […]
Wow. Just Wow. I’m super excited for you. And a little jealous. But mostly excited for you.
Congratulations!! I am so happy for you guys. I hope it’s smooth sailing and that you enjoy it and take it easy on yourself. And then you’ll have a cute smooshy baby in the end!!
Awww I’m just really happy for ya
Where the heck have I been? That is awesome news! Thanks for making me smile. I wish you a very happy and healthy pregnancy and much growing vibes to your little Bean.
