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!

I don't think I have ever commented to you, ever, but I've been reading this journal for two years now, and this definitely calls for a comment. Congratulations, may your child be as fucking awesome as you are.

Eeeee, what wonderful news, congratulations! And sign me up, please.

Oh btw - I live with a midwife (which I believe you don't get in the US?) so if you want a secondary source of info that may (or may not) be different to what you hear from your own medical people, give me a shout. I've passed on questions for various pregnant women of my acquaintance, including my sister. I suspect how hospitals operate things will be different, but more general pregnancy things can't be!

To be completely original...

Congratulations to you and your best beloved! I wish you a fun pregnancy, easy delivery and not too stressful raising of the kid.

Holy moly, congratulations!

Oh. Oh. Oh, HONEY. *squidges you and BB equally* *squidges B.B. Vine - who will clearly grow up to be a famous singer of the happy blues - equally, if gingerly)

Oh, this news has made my morning. I am gasping and speechless with joy.

[sapote3.livejournal.com]

I am late to the congratulations, but congratulations! I am tickled to be on the Baby Filter. I used to be a full-time nanny, so oh buddy, can I ever stand some pregnancy talk.

[resmin.livejournal.com]

As a co-pregnant lj'er (30 weeks), I'd love to hear what you have to say. Although I don't know about your reading/friends list's length, so if it's too long then don't worry about it. Truthfully, I was thinking last night about maybe creating a comm for all the newly pregnant, newly parent fans out there... hmm, I'll have to think more about that.

And Congrats! May the next few weeks be full of a lack of "morning" sickness and very non-sore breasts. :)

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

CONGRATULATIONS.

It's the best thing you'll ever do (but you probably know that already if you're not too busy throwing up).

[ladystarlightsj.livejournal.com]

First of all, congratulations!

And while I'd like to be on the filter (other people's pregnancies are endlessly fascinating to me, since there is no way in hell *I'm* going there again), I'll understand if you can't/don't friend me to add me to that.

[ohevet-likro.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

[the-shoshanna.livejournal.com]

Oooh, congratulations!

[filkferengi]

Congratulations!

[skyfalling.livejournal.com]

First: Congratulations! Best wishes to you and your family. ♥

Second: Er, I clicked before my brain had properly caught up with my fingers. I love reading about pregnancies/parenting (though I'm stuck about whether I want to go through it myself), and while I'd be tickled if you added me, I understand if you don't want complete strangers reading about that sort of thing. (That and your f-list is, uh, insanely huge already.)

[jeddy83.livejournal.com]

Yay! Congratulations.

[mswalter.livejournal.com]

Just adding to the looooooooong list: Congrats!

[chalcopyrite.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. Congratulations!

[hobbit-feet.livejournal.com]

Congrats! I'm sure you and BB will be great parents.

I haven't actually friended you but I lurk a lot and would love it if you would friend me and allow me to be on the filter.

Ack,can't find my earlier post to reply to so just saying yes, September was a great month! I've been trying for a very long time so I am so glad conception finally happened in September.

It's nice someone else is at the same stage as me (though I note you have not been exposed to sheep pox).

[sandalstrap.livejournal.com]

Yay early June babies! Err, aliens. Aliens and babies!

I'm from that corner of the calendar, and hardly anyone else I know is, so this made me grin like a fool. Yay baby!
