Real Life: News

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!

Mazel Tov! That's wonderful news!

Thank you! We're pleased. *g*

YAY Congratulations to you and Best Beloved!

Thank you! (And Best Beloved thanks you, too.)

...And, man. I got a snotty message from LJ the first time I tried to post this comment. If it goes through twice, apologies in advance.

Congratulations :)

Thank you!

Lurker here, but want to say congratulations!

Thank you! (And a *hug* to you. Hi, lurker!)

Tremendous congratters!

Thank you!

ZAZ! Congratulations, you! This is v. exciting.

thefourthvine spawn! More graphomaniacs!

Thank you! And I can only hope that I will be adding slightly to the world's overall graphomaniac quotient. That would be awesome. *crosses fingers*

Congrats!

Thank you!

B'sha'ah tovah!

(Heb. "In a good hour!" May everything happen exactly as it should, exactly when it should.)

Toda raba!

Congrats! I didn't enjoy pregnancy (or birth) at all, but I really dig having a baby around. Which is a plus, I guess, since parenthood lasts a hell of a lot longer than the babymaking process.

Thank you! And, yeah, I think pregnancy is something you just get through; parenthood is the thing I'm hoping to enjoy.

That's wonderful!

I think so! *g*

Squeeeeeee! Congratulations and may you have a pregnancy significantly less exciting than mine :)

Thank you!

And your pregnancy was terrifying just to read about. I can't imagine actually living through it and not even knowing how it would turn out. So, yeah, I really, really hope mine is not as, um, interesting as yours was. *crosses fingers*

WOW. Congratulations!!

It's an issue close to my heart, I live with a couple (my bestest buddies) who have a baby. He's seven months old now.

So count me in!

Thank you!

And, yup, I knew you lived with Bean. He sounds profoundly adorable. *smishes him*

Congratulations :))

Normally, I'm not into kids' stuff. But knowing your writing style, whatever you post will probably be worth reading *g* Good luck!

Thank you!

(And I'm flattered that you think my posts will be worth reading. If you ever decide they aren't, feel free to say you want off. There will be no hard feelings. *g*)

YAY! Congratulations!

Thank you!

OMG YAY YAY HONEY YAY I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU AND WONDERING ABOUT THAT. EEEEYAY!

Thank you! (And, OMG, I love you so. Because this post has resulted in an AWESOME display of people's happy icons, or yay icons, things like that. BUT FROM YOU I GET FIONA APPLE EATING A BABY. <3 <3 <3 <3!)

Congrats, hon!!!

Thank you!

Cheer! and congratulations to both you and Best Beloved.

Thank you! (And Best Beloved thanks you, too.)

eeee, spawn! congratulations!

Thank you! And, yup, I'm apparently spawning. Oddly, there seem to be no laws in place to prevent this. A stunning governmental oversight, I'm sure you will agree.

OH MY GOD, DUDE, WE ARE ONLY A WEEK APART!

I know! When you posted, I wanted to say OMG ME TOO ME TOO. I couldn't say it then, but I totally can now: OMG OMG! AWESOME! SEPTEMBER WAS A GREAT MONTH FOR CONCEPTION!

Okay, capslock fest over, but I've been saving that up for a while.

Congratulations!

Thank you! (Also, your icon makes me deeply happy.)

Awesome. :)

I'm starting to think so, too. Thank you!

Congratulations!!!!

Thank you!

YAY, congratulations!

Thank you! *beams*

Wow! Welcome to the adventure!

Thank you! (And "wow" is totally what I said when the nurse practitioner told me I was pregnant. I mean, I was trying, but somehow I never thought it would actually happen.)
