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!

Eeee isn't it exciting? (And this is why I didn't say anything when you suggested meeting in June. With luck, I will have a very new creature at about that time, and newborns aren't exactly compatible with, you know, plans.)

Thank you! (Eeeeeeee!)

Oh congratulations! I am also pregnant, also 12 weeks by coincidence, and extremely happy. (Also, sick as a dog).

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you, and congratulations back at you! (And, wow. September was...quite a month for fans, wasn't it? misspamela is eleven weeks. At this rate, we could start a whole club of expecting-in-June fans. Although you've managed things better - you'll be most pregnant during winter. *envies*)

And I'm so sorry you're sick; I've avoided that and been really pleased. (Although I second-guess it to a ludicrous degree: if I'm not feeling sick, does that mean I'm not really pregnant? I seriously didn't really believe it until the second ultrasound.)

So fabulous. Huge congrats (and lots of energy!) to you and your beloved, as you prepare for the arrival of Future Earthling One.

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And, um, I think we will need that energy, yup. *packs it away carefully for the near future*

congratulations! i weirdly like hearing about my friend's kids, more especially right now as i'm going through proud-auntie-phase wrt my eldest niece, lol. i say weirdly, because the thought of having a podling myself still mildly squicks me out.

That's awesome! I'm not actually on your flist, so don't feel obligated to add me or anything, but I thought I'd click anyway in case you were opening this to everyone. :D

[aidara.livejournal.com]

Oops, uh, this was me not realizing that this computer was still signed onto lj under as my roommate's account. Wow, great persuasion for adding me to your flist! *headdesk*

It looks like you probably don't need to hear it again, but -- Congratulations! I rather suspect it will be an adventure.
