Nant.

Y'all know I have a hard time with things that are cliche. Like, you know, calling my husband my hubby (blech. Bad taste in my mouth just by typing it) - so I call him Hussy (at least on the blog. In real life, we don't use each other's names. We just say, "Babe." It's inevitably going to confuse our children. Once when I was really tired, I called him "boober scoops." That's not even a sexual reference. It just came out. I'm still scratching my head. It makes just as much sense as calling my mom "Mooda" and calling my female dog - whose real name is Lucy - "Bruce." I don't know, either).

So...

Ahem...

I'm NANT, peeps.

Because I refuse to say "prego" or "preggers." :D (This news is exciting enough to deserve a really cheesy emoticon).

Yeah, that's right! PregNANT!!! And Jake and I are stoked. STOKED. It happened a little sooner than we had anticipated but I've already got enough onesies to cover Baby everyday for its first three months (okay, not EVERYDAY but I've definitely got backups in preparation for poopy blowouts and spit-up). Also (this is for future reference to see if we're right - we find out on the 28th), we're both pretty sure that Baby is a boy. But, obvs, we'll be excited about a boy or a girl. We're just happy it's not twins. I'm not cut out to be a rockstar mom of twins like this girl.

Ahhhh...it feels so good to share this news with the interwebs. And, figure this one out, I feel much more comfortable sharing the news here, than on Facebook. I know that's not logical - don't ask me to explain my reasoning for that. I. Have. No. Idea.

YAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!! Baby will be making its arrival sometime in mid-June!!

(PS, if you wanna hear the news from me in person, please call me. I'll tell you ALL the joys of pregnancy. Having to pee all the time, the gas, already not being able to sleep through the night, the insane amount of excitement, the intense feeling of wanting to protect el child at all costs, not wanting to eat ANYTHING, and HUGE boobs. Fo' realz. I'll give you the scoop).

Just wait for the heartburn, and headaches they really rock! Haha, so excited to find out what you are having. Beware- if it's a girl your doctor may say LABIA a hundred times like ours did :)

Yes!! Please do! We find out what it is on the 28th. Very excited to stop calling it..."it." :)

Brittany said...

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy shhhhhiiiiiit!

I wish you knew how excited I am right now. Seriously. You two will make the cutest offspring on the planet.

And a hyperlinked shout out? I'm blushing. You're far too kind, my dear.

Monica said...

Aww... that's very exciting!! Congrats! I'm a weirdo. I love pregnant women! LoL* I guess it's from when I was pregnant.

And I loathe the word "preggo". I was not a can of pasta sauce. *cring*

Erin said...

Monica, haha! I have a friend at work just like you. Loves pregnant women :) Not weird.

And preggo or preggers? Gah. Not my thing.

So... I'm terrible and just realized that my feed was still on your old one, so I'll probably be commenting on a few here. CONGRATS! I miss my big boobs....
