Yep, We're Pregnant!

Ok, so the cat is out of the bag. If you read me on Facebook then you knew that already. But I should probably jot down some stuff here if only for posterity sake, right? And while we're here, let us break out the bullet points:

• The due date is April 7th. Or April 12th. Or anywhere within a range stretching from about March 15th to May 1st. We'll see.


• We aren't going to find out the gender ahead of time. We didn't with Relia and did with DF and after he was born we both kinda wished we hadn't peeked. So it's back to the drama for us!


• We're not telling Relia for another month or so. We're afraid that if something bad happened it would be hard to explain it to her. So we'll wait a bit on that. In the meantime we've been softening her up with 'hypotheticals' about another brother or sister. She wants a sister but would 'deal with' a brother.


• Boy or girl is fine for me. One of the things that you really only learn after you become a parent is that the boy/girl stuff isn't that important. Individual traits completely overwhelm gender traits at the young ages.


• This is probably it for us. That's the feeling right now anyway. If any of you large family types want to weight in and try to argue us into more, the time is now. As it is, we kind of like the idea of being able to place the end of diapers on a calendar.


• Which means that the process of choosing a name is more important somehow. We've been batting names around for the past few months and I think I can safely say that we have no real front runners at this point. (I may put a up a post on names later in the week.)


• We think the timing with DF is a little tight but not too bad. By the time the next baby will need the crib he'll be close to two and a half. So we're probably ok. Overall I'm pretty happy with this age spread.


• Speaking of which, we're looking at high school graduations in 2025, 2028 and 2030. Those aren't real years, are they? That looks like something out of a sci-fi novel!


• We have some of the normal fears but overall we're both very happy!
