June 26, 2007

I have no idea how I’m expected to keep it a secret for ONE SECOND LONGER that I am pregnant. Seriously. My god, I’m not a machine, people! I can’t possibly wait for weeks on end in order to hit some “it’s okay to tell” milestone because I have to tell you right this goddamned minute or I am going to EXPLODE.

There. Whew. That’s better.

You know what’s kind of funny, in a ‘boy, I sure am a dumbass’ kind of way? I was actually pregnant when I wrote this entry. I mean, barely pregnant, but still. Next up: hubris-filled entries about having—just now!—officially dropped the extra pounds, complete with photos to document my shrinkage! Ha ha haaaaa! Hot damn, my comedic timing knows no limits.

At least one internet calculator thingie predicts a Valentine’s Day due date, so that’s the general timeframe. I’m about seven weeks along. Morning sickness is a much bigger issue this time around, for some mysterious and sucktastic reason. My pants already feel too clingy in the waistline. Yesterday I crumbled graham crackers into a glass of milk and drank the resulting sludge, and it was SO. DAMN. GOOD.

(Yes, I realize the last two items may have something to do with one another.)

Anyway, that’s my news. I have been ridiculously excited to tell you.

    Fist-pump number two! Whoooo! (Except I am alone this time. It loses some of its allure that way, don’t you think?)

    *screams again with excitement* I’m so happy for you!

    YAY!!!! I love reading about your pregnant woes…if only so I’m not suprised when I (hopefully) go through it all myself one of these days. Bring on the 2nd cutest baby ever!

  12. Susan on June 26th, 2007 4:36 pm

  15. Danielle on June 26th, 2007 4:41 pm

    Aaaaaah! How exciting!! Feel so priveleged that you shared it with us! I know, the whole waiting for 12 weeks thing is ridiculously hard, and silly too I guess. I have to tell you - having 2 is NOT as hard as you think it is going to be, I promise! I am 4 months into it and it really is awesome.
    CONGRATS!!!!!!!

  16. Heather on June 26th, 2007 4:44 pm

    WOOHOO! Congratulations!!!

  19. Magpie on June 26th, 2007 4:49 pm

    Woohoo! Congratulations!

    And at least you have your hubris-filled weight loss entries and photos as a reminder that you can, in fact, do it when it comes time to lose the weight from baby #2.

  20. Marolyn on June 26th, 2007 4:50 pm

    Congratulations!!! and !

  21. Mary on June 26th, 2007 4:50 pm

    Congratulations! And if you’re sicker this time than last, maybe it’s a girl. I was the opposite, ridiculously sick with my boys, and had an easier time with the girl. I suspected from the start that she was a girl, just because it was so different. I’m so happy for you all!

  22. Katie on June 26th, 2007 4:51 pm

    Yay!!!! Congrats!!!!

  23. Emily on June 26th, 2007 4:53 pm

    Rock ON witchabadself!

  24. Mary O on June 26th, 2007 4:53 pm

    Oh my goodness… congratulations! I have to admit that I was a little suspicious when you talked about that pastry you ate in San Francisco. That’s pregnancy food if I’ve ever heard it!
    Hope your morning sickness goes away soon.

  25. Swistle on June 26th, 2007 4:53 pm

    YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYY!!!! I’m so excited! In my post-birth daze, with the thrill of anticipation more than 3 weeks behind me now, I am so so glad to get to look forward to a Sundry Baby!

  26. Alex on June 26th, 2007 4:55 pm

    And I am ridiculously excited FOR you!

    If it’s a girl, I say name her Alex. Just throwin’ it out there.

  27. Swistle on June 26th, 2007 4:55 pm

    Also: YAY YAY YAY!

  28. Trina on June 26th, 2007 4:56 pm

    Yay! Congrats! I am due Jan 9th with #2 and this time I don’t have morning sickness as bad as last time. But I still have it. It sucks ass! :)

    Congrats again!

  29. Roz on June 26th, 2007 4:57 pm

    Delurking to congratulate you and J.B. and Riley on his new brother/sister! Which would you like to have? I had my oldest boy in November and 17 months later…I had another boy. I thougth I would want a girl, and I did for awhile, but kept thinking of all those cute little boy clothes I still had…and now I KNOW I was always meant to be a Boy Mama…I never have learned to do my OWN hair, much less a little girl…

  30. Anna on June 26th, 2007 4:58 pm

    Woot! Woot!

  31. lara on June 26th, 2007 4:58 pm

  38. Crystal on June 26th, 2007 5:05 pm

    Long time lurker, first time poster - and what a time to post!

    It’s been a delight to read about Suctopus the First - I can’t wait to hear about the Secondpus.

  39. Deanna on June 26th, 2007 5:05 pm

    What’s better than one War Face?!?!?

    So happy for you! :)

    Fantastic news! Hope the nausea subsides soon.

  43. vague on June 26th, 2007 5:09 pm

    Hooray!

    As soon as I saw this post title in my google reader notifier thing, I just knew! But, then the page took forever to load (dang Comcast and their wavering speed) and I was waiting in suspense for at least five seconds. Whew!

    Congratulations!!!

  44. Ellen on June 26th, 2007 5:09 pm

    Now Riley will have someone to look suspiciously back at him!!

    Congratulations.

    Congratulations! Two is wild!

  50. Denise on June 26th, 2007 5:15 pm

    Congrats! Your due date is one day after mine, so I’ll be looking forward to reading your posts as an exercise in virtual commiseration!

    As for the morning sickness, the only thing that seems to help keep it at bay is to keep eating. (Which is probably why I can only fit comfortably into yoga pants and sweat shorts at the moment.)

  51. eileen on June 26th, 2007 5:19 pm

    Oh, CONGRATS!!!!! Here’s to a healthy, happy pregnancy - and a healthy, happy new sibling for dear Riley!!!

  54. Rumblelizard on June 26th, 2007 5:22 pm

    Hooray!!! And re: your in-shapeness, I’ve read that the better shape you’re in, the faster you recover from childbirth. So double hooray! :D

  55. erica on June 26th, 2007 5:28 pm

    Huzzah!!

  56. heidi on June 26th, 2007 5:32 pm

    maybe you’re having more morning sickness because this time it’s a girl? that’s what happened to my mom, anyway…

  57. AndreAnna on June 26th, 2007 5:33 pm

    I echo it all. Congrats!!

    Congrats!!!!

  63. Lisa V on June 26th, 2007 5:46 pm

    Woohoo! Congratulations Linda! Old wives tales would say you are sicker because it’s a girl. More estrogen, more morning sickness.

  64. jen on June 26th, 2007 5:51 pm

    yay! congrats!

    i used to eat graham crackers and milk as a form of cereal. hahaha.

    Riley as a big brother! Awesome.

  68. Liz in Australia on June 26th, 2007 5:59 pm

  69. Michelle in Maryland on June 26th, 2007 6:00 pm

    That is fantastic news! I am so excited for you!!

  70. renmen on June 26th, 2007 6:02 pm

    Yay!! I’m sooooooo happy for you! Be insanely happy you got into shape *before*, because trust me (says she who is 38 weeks and counting), those pounds you won’t have to lose afterwards or carry around during? Freaking priceless.

  71. Anonymous on June 26th, 2007 6:07 pm

    aaaaaaaaahh! i’m SO happy and excited for you, linda. i actually have a big ol’ cheesy tear in my eye. congratulations!

  73. lisa on June 26th, 2007 6:12 pm

    HOORAY!!!! That is awesome news!!!!! I only have seven weeks to go before #2 and let me tell you, it will FLY by!!! Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it!!!!!

    And definitely keep up with the workouts for as long as you can —with modifications of course. It will make you feel better and make everything easier, including losing the baby weight.

    Just my two cents. Again, CONGRATS!!!!!

  74. Louise on June 26th, 2007 6:12 pm

    I had terrible morning sickness, and then discovered I was carrying…twins! hmmmmmmmm Congratulations to all of you..

  75. Nona on June 26th, 2007 6:13 pm

    I’m damn happy for you. Zofram (?) is something you might ask your doc about if the morning sickness gets too bad…but WOOT for you! May I be the 73rd person to say congrats? !!!

  76. backwaterblog on June 26th, 2007 6:13 pm

    Alrighty then! Proud to have read your words for so long, and glad to hear this good news. Nice, Linda.

  83. honeybecke on June 26th, 2007 6:21 pm

    AWESOME!
    I am so happy for you and your happy family.
    We had our second baby boy (Trevor!) last week and it’s wonderful all over again. Crazy, sleepy wonderful. :)
    I can’t wait to read about your second pregnancy. I enjoyed every bit of mine and already miss it.

  84. Haley on June 26th, 2007 6:23 pm

    I’m SO EXCITED for you!!! …….a total stranger. I think even more excited about your baby than I was for my cousins baby. Congratulations to your expanding family!!! Can’t wait to read more.

  85. Sara on June 26th, 2007 6:23 pm

    Congratulations! So exciting.

  86. Melissa on June 26th, 2007 6:25 pm

    Much happiness to you & the growing family… YAY!

  87. deanna on June 26th, 2007 6:25 pm

    wonderful news. congrats!

  88. laughing mommy on June 26th, 2007 6:25 pm

    Oh Congratulations! I’m so happy for you!

    I simply cannot wait to read all the funny things I”m sure you will say about being pregnant while looking after a toddler, and also what you will have to say when you have two little ones at home.

    Having two kids is so great. My 5 year old and 18 month old are just now starting to really enjoy playing together and it is the best thing ever. Wait until you hear Riley laugh with his little sibling for the first time. It will make all the hard work worth it.

    Yay! Best wishes for a happy healthy pregnancy!

  89. Jacqueline on June 26th, 2007 6:26 pm

    Congrats!

  90. Heather B. on June 26th, 2007 6:34 pm

    Yay! Awesome and all that good stuff.

  91. Mama Ritchie on June 26th, 2007 6:37 pm

    Congrats! I heard on Oprah & Friends that lemons help morning sickness. It was from this cleverly titled book “Dr. Robert Greene’s Perfect Hormone Balance for Pregnancy: A Groundbreaking Plan for Having a Healthy Baby and Feeling Great”. Snappy title, eh? Anyway - congratulation - what wonderful news!

  92. JMH on June 26th, 2007 6:38 pm

    Congrats! Babies are lovely. Same thing happened to me with weight loss. When Baby #1 was about 18 months old, I lost a ton of weight, got in great shape and only got to enjoy it for .0007 seconds before I got pregnant with Baby #2. (I guess I looked really good..wink wink) Does Rielly know he is going to be a big brother? I’ll bet he looked suspicious when you told him :)

  93. JMH on June 26th, 2007 6:39 pm

    Sorry, I meant Riley. Can’t spell today!!

  94. Meagan on June 26th, 2007 6:44 pm

    OMG! You’re not going to believe this, but I’m due on Valentine’s Day, too! I had been hoping one of the blogger’s I read regularly would get pregnant so I could follow them along during my own pregnancy. I hope I don’t sound like some stalker, crazy lady. Anyway, congratulations!

  95. Jo on June 26th, 2007 6:53 pm

    Yay! That’s awesome news, thanks for sharing :D

  96. Alice on June 26th, 2007 6:57 pm

  97. Katie (The Yap) on June 26th, 2007 6:58 pm

    Oh goody!!! We will get to read more Jimmy Leg entries! Hooray! Those were my favorite of all time!

    Congratulations! That is so exciting!

  98. sooboo on June 26th, 2007 6:59 pm

    Yay! Congratulations!

  99. biodtl on June 26th, 2007 6:59 pm

    Congratulations! I happy for you (and even a bit envious, though we don’t have plans for another). I had morning sickness so much worse with my second. If it gets too bad, don’t hesitate to talk to your doctor. Toughing it out gets you nowhere. I’m excited to get to share your experiences again.

  100. Trina on June 26th, 2007 7:00 pm

    This is fabulous news! Congratulations!

  101. Amanda on June 26th, 2007 7:03 pm

  106. MotherGooseAmy on June 26th, 2007 7:16 pm

    A hearty Mazel Tov to you!!!!!! Very exciting stuff! I am curious to know (when you decide) if you’ll go VBAC or a scheduled C-section. Best wishes!

  107. Pocklock » Back. Sorta. on June 26th, 2007 7:17 pm

    […] Edited to add: And oh yeah, this. Because naturally everyone’s pregnant but me. No seriously, Congrats, Linda! Posted by Madame Pocklock | […]

    Mazel tov!

  112. Colleen on June 26th, 2007 7:22 pm

    OH YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  113. Cara on June 26th, 2007 7:23 pm

    I actually squealed when I read your post! I’m so excited for you and your family!

    My morning sickness was not bad with either of my pregnancies, but was a little worse with the second (a girl). I will say this though, the second pregnancy totally flew by. When I was pregnant with Payton, I had plenty of time to obsess about the New Baby. But when I was pregnant with Tori, Payton took up all of my obsession time. Also, be very glad that you don’t have to suffer pregnancy through the summer again! Congratulations!!!

  114. mandy on June 26th, 2007 7:25 pm

    I can’t tell you how thrilled I am for you. Best, best, BEST of luck with everything. We just had our second baby in two years…it’s awsome.

    Congratulations!

  115. Yams on June 26th, 2007 7:26 pm

    Phew just scrolled all the long way down to say - Congrats!

  116. christen on June 26th, 2007 7:38 pm

    OMG congratulations!!!!

    Ah, but now you have a super smokin hot bod, it’ll be easier to keep it that way, and easier to get back to it, now that you know what to do!

    You can still work out/jog when preggo.

    Seriously, my jaw just hit the desk reading that. Didn’t take you long at all, did it, oh fertile one?

  117. Carolyn J. on June 26th, 2007 7:40 pm

    Congratulations - although holey smokes, a toddler, a pregnancy and home renovation? Your plate, it is FULL.

    As a Valentine’s season baby myself, I will tell you your future will be filled with tobogganing parties. Also your child will never get birthday flowers ’cause they cost a kajillion dollars. Other than those things, it’s all good.

  118. Anne L. on June 26th, 2007 7:41 pm

    AWW, YEAH!!!! Happy congrats to you and JB!

  119. Jennifer on June 26th, 2007 7:45 pm

    HOLLA! Congrats to all! Can’t wait for the next several months of hi-larious entries!

  120. Amber on June 26th, 2007 7:54 pm

    WHOO! Yay, good for you and JB! I know this is ridiculous but after reading your blog almost every day for so long, I feel a vague sort of attachment (in a non-stalker way) to you and Riley and JB, and I am SO excited to see more pregnant pics and ESPECIALLY pictures when your next baby arrives! This is awesome.

  121. Marie Green on June 26th, 2007 7:58 pm

    CONGRATS!!!!!! Very cool.

    Wow, you kept it a secret longer than I ever have. =) With my first pregnancy, my husband was all shocked and weirded out (we WERE trying, but he thought he’d have months of wild abandon, and instead he got one good lay and then “keep your hands away from my god damn boobs or I WILL kill you”), but anyway, he made me promise not to tell ANYONE for awhile. I made it ONE day at work, and I was literally sick from not being able to tell. The next day, I spilled the beans to two of my women coworkers, then felt immediate, nearly orgasmic, relief. I called David GIDDY with relief and didn’t care that he was frustrated with me for spilling the beans.

  122. Coleen on June 26th, 2007 8:01 pm

    CONGRATULATIONS! Such happy news.

  123. Jess on June 26th, 2007 8:03 pm

    Congratulations! That is so exciting.

    And I’m not a mother myself, so I can’t speak from the parenting angle, but from the kid angle–my sister and I are exactly two and a half years apart (as I think Riley and the baby will be, if I’m doing my math right), and it is the perfect distance. Far enough apart to really feel like you have your own identity, but close enough to relate and bond. So I hope it works out well for your kids too!

  124. Niki P. on June 26th, 2007 8:10 pm

    so happy for you! Good stuff!!

  125. biscuit on June 26th, 2007 8:13 pm

    How exciting!!! CONGRATS! I’m pregnant too so I will look even more forward to your new posts taking us through your baby #2 journey!

    Maybe you’re more sick this time around because it’s a girl…. ;)

  126. Heather on June 26th, 2007 8:19 pm

    I am way to excited for someone who is ultimately a stranger yet I feel like I know. Congratulations! You are such a great mother and am sure number two will be as great and precious as one. Way to go to Dad too.

  127. mrsgryphon on June 26th, 2007 8:20 pm

    I feel ridiculously excited FOR you! What great news! Congratulations to the whole family… and I can’t wait to find out if Riley is “suspicious” of the new little one, or if Big Brother love takes over immediately! hee!

  133. Meg on June 26th, 2007 8:49 pm

    When I saw the title of this entry, I gasped out loud with excitement. My husband said, “What?” And I realized how dopey I sounded AS I was saying, “This lady I kind of know is pregnant.” He did not share my same feelings. But that does not deter me one bit - I am very excited for you!! Congratulations!

  134. mnerva on June 26th, 2007 8:51 pm

    Yay for you!!! (((hugs))) And on the positive side for me, I’m hoping for more fodder for my antenatal classes. BTW is it too early to start running a book on sex and weight?

  157. Rayne on June 26th, 2007 10:36 pm

    That is fabulous!

  158. tracey on June 26th, 2007 11:06 pm

    yah!

  159. Kym on June 26th, 2007 11:17 pm

    I know you’re probably not even reading these any more, but just HAD to de-lurk to say CONGRATS!!! I have been rooting for you for weeks to get knocked up because I so loved reading your pregnancy entries with Riley.
    I thought it would be awesome if we were kind of at the same stage (does that sound stalker-ish, sorry) but alas! I am due in December so not TOO far behind. Can’t wait to read all about this one too. Hope your m/s eases soon.

  160. jen on June 26th, 2007 11:38 pm

    OH WOW! Congratulations! I already get so excited whenever you post a new entry, and I can’t wait to see what happens these next few months!

  164. stan on June 27th, 2007 1:29 am

    I just felt like shouting WHOOPEE! when I saw the title of this entry. I’m just another stalkerish-type person wondering why I was so thrilled to read your news. I guess it’s the quality of your writing makes us want to share in your good news this way. CONGRATULATIONS!!

  165. Daren on June 27th, 2007 2:15 am

    Oh my God, CONGRATULATIONS! *Happy Dance*

    My husband is very excited, too. :) He wants to read your entries this time around.

  174. Claire on June 27th, 2007 4:54 am

    Sweet! When I found your site I had just gotten pregnant and I loved reading your archives of when you were pregnant with Riley. Uh-oh, I guess that means I have high hopes for this blog in the next 9 months! Heh heh, just kidding. Congrats!

  175. C on June 27th, 2007 4:56 am

    That’s so awesome! Congratulations! You and JB make cute kids together.

    AHHH! Linda!!! So excited for you, JB & Riley!!! You guys are going to be great parents to two.

    On a totally selfish level - I can’t wait to experience all this right along with you! I just found out that my husband and I are expecting #1, due at the end of February. SO CAN’T WAIT!! I will see delicious new baby photos from you just as I’m waiting to (gulp) deliver.

    Much love!!

  179. Kaire on June 27th, 2007 5:06 am

    Way to go on getting knocked up! I’m snuggling into my chair and just anticipating future entries :) Woo hoo! Congrats!

  180. Keri on June 27th, 2007 5:13 am

    Yay! Congratulations. I can’t wait to hear all the stories.

  181. Hulda on June 27th, 2007 5:13 am

    Congratulations!
    I am also pregnant, due in November, and I was diagnosed with hyperemesis, emesis means vomit, you do the linguistics on that one.
    So everytime anyone would congratulate me I would snap back ‘congratulations on what, vomiting six times an hour? thanx!’
    Hope your nausea goes away really really quickly.

  182. Kristin on June 27th, 2007 5:17 am

    Congratulations! I’m so happy for you! The second time around was easier in every way, for me.

  183. Ruth on June 27th, 2007 5:20 am

    Congratulations!

  184. eve on June 27th, 2007 5:26 am

    I’m delurking to say congratulations! Hopefully you don’t get tired of hearing how inspiring you are- your super-smokin’ weight loss photos have motivated me to improve my eating habits and get off my butt. Best wishes for an easy pregnancy!

  185. Christine on June 27th, 2007 5:32 am

    Whooo HOOOOOOOO!!!! Congrats! I am so happy for you and JB!

    i am so excited to hear of the secondtopus! it was great watching the first go round and i’m certain this time around will be too! :)

  188. Jessie on June 27th, 2007 5:41 am

    Congratulations! I was thinking of posting a “why not pregnant yet?” post on my own site today, and now maybe I should, since the universe likes to award me with that kind of comedic timing as well.

    Anyway, that is such great news and I am very excited for you! Can’t wait to hear how telling Riley the news goes.

  189. Jane on June 27th, 2007 5:52 am

    That’s great news! Well done team. I suspect this is why Riley is perfecting War Face - he’s preparing for the arrival of the competition…

  190. Christina on June 27th, 2007 5:53 am

    Holy crap along with the other 359839028056 posts - Congrats!

  193. Lisa on June 27th, 2007 5:56 am

    YAY!!!!

  194. Jill on June 27th, 2007 6:01 am

    I got a big smile on my face when I read this title. I found you fairly recently & love reading your entries about Riley. I can relate to so many of them since my late February born daughter seems so similar to him.
    A big congrats to you, JB & Riley.

  195. Amy on June 27th, 2007 6:08 am

    such fantastic news!! Congratulations! Another little bundle of joy for Riley to teach the art of suspiciousness to!

  199. fuzzy on June 27th, 2007 6:14 am

    Congrats! Welcome to the club… my waistline expanded MUCH faster this time. I was worried about twins, but there’s just one in there. Guess it’s just that everything’s already stretched out and knows what to do this time around.

    So… hoping for a boy or girl? What does JB want?

  200. M.A. on June 27th, 2007 6:19 am

    EXCELLENT news! I’m so happy for you and JB! Please do the tummy pics again — that will give you another comparison of your buff boss new bod! I’m sure someone has said it, but I’m too lazy to scroll — I have heard that mornging sickness is an indication of a healthy baby! I hope it passes soon, but if that’s any consolation… (Can I hope it’s a girl? Because then that would just be too perfect — Big Brother Riley and little sister… Rilette?) Please try to avoid fruit names, as tempting as Pomegranate may be…. (just sayin’) BOOYA!

  201. Amy M. on June 27th, 2007 6:25 am

    Congrats! That’s so exciting! I hope the nausea goes away soon!

  202. kendra! on June 27th, 2007 6:25 am

    I was so moved to tears the last time you had a Great Expectation and I have obsessively checked your “preggo” tab just to marvel at the miracle o’ life since Sucktopus I was born. This time, I’m truckin’ right along with you on the pregbus, and somehow your confessions on cravings lend so much solidarity to this here human growth experiment we’re both undergoing. Congrats to you and JB, and also to Big Brother Riley.

  203. christine on June 27th, 2007 6:26 am

    Muchos congrats! Your Lululemon pants will come in handy down the road!

  204. Emily Ann on June 27th, 2007 6:54 am

    Congrats!!! Riley’s gonna be a big brother!!!

  205. McWriter on June 27th, 2007 6:55 am

    Yippee! I remember when you wrote that having Riley made you so happy, you felt your heart would burst into a million pink balloons … so wonderful. Perhaps those balloons might really be PINK this time!

  206. Melissa on June 27th, 2007 6:58 am

    Congratulations!!!! My daughter was born on Feb 13th last year. The best part is that your most heavy times are in the dead of winter and you can cover yourself!! And you still have time to get back in svelt shape for next summer…like you said…just three months!

    Actually the best part is the new little one that will be joining the family…congratulations! I’m sure you guys are thrilled!

  207. katie on June 27th, 2007 6:59 am

    hooorayyyyyyyyy!!!! congratulations. i hope the sickness passes soon. it doesn’t seem fair to have to get that.

  219. Kate on June 27th, 2007 7:43 am

    Congratulations! That’s terrific. I’m expecting my first in a couple of weeks, give or take, and I have to say, right now, I’m planning on never being pregnant again. But I want two! So you can be my inspiration!

  220. Lacey Noel on June 27th, 2007 7:51 am

    I didn’t read all 265 comments so this has probably been mentioned but morning sickness is typically much worse in girl pregnancies. I have five children and the only one where I didn’t have the morning sickness was my one son :)
    Congratulations! I am so happy for you.

  267. Alyce on June 27th, 2007 12:54 pm

    YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    excellent news
    well done, you

    Looking forward to you blogging alllllll about it.

  268. Leigh on June 27th, 2007 12:54 pm

    Yay! Congrats! Yay! So happy for you!

  269. rakel on June 27th, 2007 12:55 pm

    My husband just commented how odd it is, that we are punching the air going yeah ’cause some chick we’ve never met is pregnant! But we did and it rocks. Congratulations you mother of two you!

  270. Anais on June 27th, 2007 1:15 pm

    Congratulations! That’s fantastic! I am so happy for you and JB and Riley. =D

  271. fellowmom on June 27th, 2007 1:17 pm

    Woot! You have way more discretion than me. I am so happy for you! This explains why Riley’s been working on his war face and you’ve been toughening him up Full Metal Jacket style. I love watching the interaction between my sons, even last night when they were in the tub together doing an excellent imitation of a crocodile and water buffalo locked in a life-or-death struggle. At least they thought it was fun. They are in their teens. (Kidding! toddlers!) Ah, boys!

  272. Josh on June 27th, 2007 1:32 pm

    Right on my preggers friend. That is the shit. Give JB a high five for having ninja sperm that snuck up on you and karate chopped your uterus with no warning. I really did enjoy the irony of that other blog you linked to. Good stuff. And you go ahead and eat your disgusting graham-milk sludge crap, because you are now a glorified apartment in the great miracle of life, and you deserve whatever kind of gross shite you happen to be craving at the time. Way to make a baby! Mad props.

  273. pippa on June 27th, 2007 1:40 pm

    Congrats! And god help you! And I mean that in the nicest way possible. Well, the nicest way that I can after spending a day hearing one kid call another “you little fucker” (Um, note to self: work on potty mouth), and another drop trou and pee on his own toys.

  274. Gena on June 27th, 2007 1:42 pm

    I know I’m about the three millionth comment, but congratulations to you! Having birthed 4 of the little suckers myself, I know how excited you are. There is nothing like a baby and nothing like a child of your own. Also, you can SO love the second just as much as the first (and the 3rd and 4th, for that matter). Sorry, that was just one of my worries the second time around.

    I hope the morning sickness subsides.

  275. Karla on June 27th, 2007 1:44 pm

    Oh enjoy every moment of your wonderfully pregnant gestitating capsule and every extra morsel of food that you get to inhale…er…um, I mean, eat for the baby.

    Congratulations!

  276. Karla on June 27th, 2007 1:46 pm

    Um, that was supposed to be gestating. I was in no way implying anything about the state of your mammaries. :)

  277. anatomist on June 27th, 2007 1:48 pm

    congratulations! so exciting!

  278. Philos on June 27th, 2007 2:10 pm

    Fantastic news! I bet I’m not the only one that’s been wondering, what with the lack of updating on the subject lately (I figured you’d have posted if you definitely weren’t, y’know?).

    Congratulations!!!

    Hope I join you soon…

  298. Alyson on June 27th, 2007 6:43 pm

    […] I finished off my day with a good, productive meeting with Boss, and even made it to the gym. After reading Linda’s blog about how she transformed herself in Three Months and then WHAM! Pregnant, I’m getting on board. […]
