Real Life: News

[thefourthvine]

So, hi, y'all. I'm pregnant. (Twelve weeks, due at the beginning of June, we don't know the sex yet. Judging from the ultrasound, I would say it is an alien implanted in my uterus by devious means. However, unless we make some major, speedy advances in space travel, it will probably be born on this planet, so I choose to think of it as a future earthling. Crazy optimism, I know.) This could occasion some posting on real-life topics from me, which I know is not what most of you are here for. So, I will be creating a filter. It's opt-in; you don't have to say anything if you don't want on.

Posts to the filter could be frequent. They could be short. They could be unfunny. They could be extremely boring. They could be non-existent. They could be excessively personal or contain mention of bodily fluids. I have no way to tell, because this is new territory for me.

So, keeping that in mind, do you want on the filter? A handy poll is provided for your clicking convenience!

Thank you!

Congratulations! ::hugs::

It's a very exciting experience; not always fun exactly, no, heheh, but profound, definitely. I did it twice, so that says it all :-)

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

My sister also did it twice, even though after her first pregnancy and delivery we all thought she'd sooner have her head removed, so it must have something going for it. So far, for me, everything's been fine - I'm not even sick - but I know the hard part comes later.

Thank you!

[actionjbone.livejournal.com]

Congratulations :)

Only caveat to the "sign me up" is that some of us read from work, so please put stuff including, for example, excess body fluids behind a cut? :)

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Yup, I will cut things that are excessively graphic or gooshy. I try to remember people may be working. Or snacking. Or otherwise not necessarily up for a full-scale ickfest. (Although, wow, if you read from work, don't my normal journal entries cause you problems? I do kind of swear a lot.)

Thank you!

[lazy-neutrino.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Were you planning for this? (No need to answer if you don't want!)

[marag.livejournal.com]

I absolutely should not laugh at you, because it's not polite when you're obviously missing an important piece of information. So consider it just a minor snicker.

Then let me assure you that pretty much the only way for TFV to get pregnant would be due to planning. Lots of planning.

[kyuuketsukirui.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

I can only imagine your pregnancy/baby posts will be as hilarious as every one of your other posts, so I'd love to be in on it.

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And I hope they'll be at least interesting, but I can't promise anything. Thank you for wanting to take the ride with me!

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

OMG!!! congrats!!! that's SO exciting. <3<3<3

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And, yup, I'm finally starting to be excited. (The first three months are kind of like being hit with a hammer, just totally exhausting. So the excitement really is just starting for me, even though I knew I was pregnant pretty much immediately.)

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Congratulations and yay!

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[wychwood]

Wow! And congratulations :)

*signs right up*

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

"Wow" was exactly my reaction when the nurse practitioner told me. *g*

Thank you!

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

You been doin' things in that universal fandom, huh? Go you! Cat armses! \o/

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

*grins* Thank you! (Also, OMG, that is a really cute icon. It should be a controlled substance.)

[eleveninches.livejournal.com]

Omg congrats! That's so awesome!

Although for some reason I thought you were a lesbian. Huh.

[macadamanaity.livejournal.com]

Er. Not to speak for TFV, but as a general rule, lesbians can have kids, you know.

Ok, I have to ask...

[seferin.livejournal.com]

Some time ago, you posted about your great cleavage. Do you think it likely you will be ... further blessed by the kid? i.e. will there be a repeat rant any time soon?

er, forgot to mention...

Congrats, I'm sure you will be a wonderful mother. You're already used to dealing with children and short attention spans!

Re: Ok, I have to ask...

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

I'm already further blessed, damn it. I mean, I know it's just hormones, but seriously, I had enough. No need to add more! There's a point at which it just gets silly.

And I figure the odds of me ranting again are pretty good, yeah. I thought shopping for bras was bad before, but I didn't know anything yet; now my size keeps changing. Also, if I go up another cup size, I'll be in serious trouble; I'll drop off the end of nearly all manufacturers' size range.

[lolaraincoat.livejournal.com]

Mazel tov! also, yay!

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[maygra.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay!!! BB&Vine Sprouts!! Congratulations!

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And *hugs*, just because.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]
