Yep, V is pregnant. She's at 11 weeks now, and both her & our love-spawned parasite are doing well. So we're finally letting people know.
Answers to the questions that inevitably come up from this sort of announcement:
1. No, we're not getting married. At least not any time soon, if at all. She's telling people we're holding out until gay marriage is legal, heh. Which may be true. At any rate, she has to propose to me first. But yes, no plans to do so any time soon. Really, I don't see a need for it other than to satisfy the desires of certain relatives. And that's no reason to get married. I'm committed to her, she's committed to me, & we're both committed to our baby...that's all that matters. Well, that & the fact that we're very happy of course.
2. No, we don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet, and we don't plan on finding out until he or she arrives, screaming and covered in goo.
3. We DO know that the baby giraffe will arrive around the end of August. And that V's only having one baby, not twins or a litter or anything like that.
4. No, we haven't decided on any names yet either, but we have been talking about them as of last week. I'll keep you posted on what options end up gaining the most favor from both of us.
5. Yes, we will let you know once we have a wishlist so you know what to get for us if you want to get us baby stuff. Sounds to me like we'll be covered clothes-wise as it already has 15 cousins on her side of the family to acquire hand-me-downs from. (And really, why spend a bunch of money on new clothes for him/her to grow out of?) So that rules out clothes but leaves plenty of other stuff to be bought. There will certainly be a baby shower down the road too, so I'll try to inform interested parties of that as well.
Any other questions? Feel free to ask and I will of course happily address them.
We're both very excited, more so with each new day. And those who have already been informed are also excited for us. We've heard a lot of cries of joy lately hehe. It's pretty awesome.
Now to get myself to Austin...

ReplyDeletewell hello there... love your writing style and will be reading from now on! :) you know I gives a damn if you guys get married. I'm just excited to have another niece or nephew!! You are going to be great parents and you don't need a piece of paper for that ;) If you have a girl you might need clothes seeing as all the girls in our family are outnumbered. Oh and if you have a girl Vita will be the golden child forever :D hahaha
ReplyDeleteIf you guys go on my blog and search for keyword "dream" you may be quite entertained. I know I recorded a lot of them during my pregnancies. Glad you're using that babycenter site... I love that place.
oh MAN Tristan got poop on his hands again :P I hear him yelling "UH OH POOP!!!" Aren't you looking forward to this! :)
Thanks Allie! :)
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of poop, I read your toilet dream, the one where it was hidden under the sink hehe.
Boy or girl, all I care is that he/she is healthy so he/she can take over the world as soon as we've provided the proper tools and guidance. ;)
