Clues about the thing we weren't talking about until now
Looking for a bigger house:
Non-alcoholic beer:
Boobs:
Feeling woozy at various place:
Puking:
"Talking about the thing I'm not talking about"
"Trying to figure out what to do about the fact that all I want to do is nest."
Yup, it's no big secret if you're paying attention to the random occasional titles of your friends' flickr photos and comments for the last 8 or so weeks. :) For those who figured out that Kellianne is indeed pregnant again (YAY!), thank you for letting us keep the story out of the official narrative of our lives until we felt safe enough to make it public. Luckily, that day was yesterday, as yesterday was Kellianne's official first day of the 2nd trimester of her pregnancy and chances of things going smoothly are apparently magically altered in our favor. Bad things can still happen, but bad things can always still happen, it's just that now the bad things would be as likely to happen as all other bad things are likely, and therefore we can't live our lives in a constant state of worry.
We have of course been thinking about what all of this means to us and our future, and in my case I like to compensate for the unknown by reading lots of books and researching a lot of random, conflicting, statistics on the internet. We've taken on pseudonyms and have started a maybe too verbose report of our spring into parenthood here:
Zero to baby (rss feed) (livejournal syndicated feed so entries show up on your LJ friends page)
Of course, this may all be of no interest to those who are not thinking about and/or procreating anytime in the near future, and I apologize in advance for putting a picture of a baby up as my profile picture on Facebook, diluting my LJ, Flickr, and Twitter streams with random nonsense about the brain development of little humans, pseudo-science, and controversial parenting techniques, and generally falling off the social wagon for a while. You have been warned and might as well unfriend me now if this unnerves you. Cause I'm totally into this new chapter of adventure, and it's gonna be awesome.
