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!

Dude!

You know, as it were.

I'm assuming you felt like being pregnant and this is not a truly unexpected turn of events.

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Well, I wanted the result of the pregnancy; I imagine very few people wake up one morning and say to their spouses, "What I want is to be pregnant for a while. That would be AWESOME. I mean, I don't want the baby, but bring on exhaustion and bizarre food cravings!" But, yeah, totally planned; we're both female, so this required planning and medical assistance.

Congratulations!

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[katallison.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is wonderful news! My very heartiest congratulations to you and your Best Beloved, and a most enthusiastic welcome to the Future Earthling!!

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

*beams* Thank you! It is (as you alredy know) very exciting to us indeed.

Thank you!

[bitter-crimson.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not on your flist, I think, so I wouldn't be on the filter either but if you ever felt like posting any tidbits public I would love to read them!

And also, of course, much congratulations! Those pesky aliens do make cute offspring. ;)

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

I'm adding everyone who wants to be on the filter who I don't already have added, so feel free to opt-in if you'd like to read pregnancy or baby posts. (I just don't want to post publicly because I know some people have issues with this topic. Also, of course, that's really not why most people read this journal, although way more folks have opted in than I expected, which is awesome.)

And thank you!

Congrats! It is a wonderful, weird time. And totally worth it.

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And I'm glad to hear people with experience recommending it. *g*

[kattsune.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! I inherited two monSTARS recently, so motherhood stuff is of great interest.

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And you don't have to say, of course, but - inherited? That sounds potentially not so good.
