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!

Congrats! I have this cute little image in my head (based on your LJ name) of a tiny seedling lovingly grown in a Dixie cup, then replanted in a garden.

And wow, I can only imagine what great bedtime stories your little Eartha will have.

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And that's an adorable image. (I kind of wish I could grow a kid in a Dixie cup. So much more sensible than all this internal reproduction malarkey. *envies plants and reptiles*)

Congratulations!!! *jealous and happy*

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! (And I'm curious, though of course you don't have to say - why jealous?)

Congrats! Is there something in the water? Because BOTH of my sisters are also pregnant......

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And, well, I've been wondering if there's something in this time of year. estrella30 and cereta both had babies in midsummer this year, and [Unknown site tag] and I are due in midsummer next year. Possibly fans get very excited in September?

Congratulations! You don't know me at all, but I'd love to hear about the pregnancy and baby.

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And I'm hoping to get to know the people I don't already know who are on the future-earthling filter, so that's a double yay for me.

[meresy.livejournal.com]

Fantastic news! I've done the deed twice so feel free to ask your most TMI questions!

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And I'm really encouraged by the number of people who had done this twice; it suggests that the results are as awesome as I hope they'll be. *extremely hopeful*

[siria]

Congratulations to you both :)

Wonderful news, dear heart!

I'm looking forward to hearing any details you feel inclined to share.

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! We're really happy about it.

And I'm hoping there will be both interesting news and details to share. So far, all I have is a bunch of unscannable ultrasound pictures of the alien.
