Lounge of Tomorrow - Announcement!

Your Cadaverous Pallor betrays an aura of foreboding....almost as if you sense a disquieting metamorphosis....

Is this haunted womb actually stretching?

It's not your (nor my) imagination. I'm nearly 3 months pregnant, due Feb 5th. :)

We had an early ultrasound showing a jellybean with a vibraty heartbeat! Our next one is in early August and I promise an HD video of the event. It should look like a tiny person by then.

Yes, this was planned, yes, we're going to find out the sex (usually not doable until 5 months), no, we don't mind whether it's a boy or a girl.

The first few weeks were queasy and exhausting, though I never did throw up, nor close to it. Thank you Mom for the awesome genes! At this point I definitely get tired easily, I eat smaller meals, and I snack as much as possible. Everything has been textbook and very encouraging. My worst side effect at this point is super greasy skin and the resulting breakouts. The next trimester is supposed to be full of energy and I can't wait to turn that corner.

The hardest part has been keeping the secret from all of you. It's obvious that this will change our lives dramatically. We may not be at every swanking, and we may not have much to talk about other than the little one's progress. Yes, things will change. We have loved having you in our lives for the last eight years and that we still look forward to awesome times to come, even as they evolve. We want you there for all this new crazy stuff too!

Our secret is out...let the fat jokes, endless questions, and obsession with cute baby clothes begin!
