lol

congrats!!!!

lol @ jeff

I am still giggling at that.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

Is it totally bizarro being preggo y/n

quincie that still isn't spanish

congrats carl

to my credit, I managed to figure out the "are you pregnant or trying to get pregnant" boxes on the Spanish dental intake form, but only because I know the word "mujeres" from bathroom doors.

lol. also embarazadas from the subway right?

ha, you completely overestimate the transportation infrastructure of La Paz, much less La Ventana. I haven't been on a subway in a looooooooonog time

Carl may I suggest to you a baby shower concept to which I was once introduced. You get mostly naked on a table and your girlfriends drape like paper mache on your boobs and belly. The it dries and you have a cast of. . . your boobs and belly. Which maybe you want to hang on the wall as "art," or maybe you want to use as a way to serve chips and two dips.

to answer your previous question, yeah, it's pretty weird. It's also kind of gross and uncomfortable. But it's also fun in a way that I can't quite articulate. Aside from being nauseated daily, sometimes all day, and finding 95% of all food completely revolting for the first... 20 weeks (I'm 20 weeks 6 days, so I am only now enjoying the part where food is this wonderful life affirming substance that I actually want to smell and put in my mouth and boy it took some restraint not to complain about that on the internet let me tell you) I've had a pretty easy time of it, though, plus we've been trying to do this forEVARRRR so I'm not complaining.

In response to your shower suggestion, no.

that shower sounds o_O

I don't think that such things should be limited to pregnant women. I think birthday parties, retirement parties, housewarmings should all involve nude body-mold making and subsequent chip and dip service.

Yeah but you really need the 8- or 9-month preggo belly if you want to do the chips plus two dips thing. My cast would be like a tray (for cheese, I guess?) and then like a cup that fits a handful of chips and a cup that fits like 1 cup of dip. Good preggo belly can do a whole bag of Tostitos.

Plus, y'know, a fair amount of salsa a guac

Woah! Carl, that is SO awesome!!! Congrats!

omg! congrraaaaatttssss!!!

Is it really hard not to tell anyone? I would want to blab to everyone. I expect.

can we all chip in and get you a BUN IN THIS OVEN tshirt

Such wonderful news!!! So happy for you both!

Thank you all! It is making me feel all warm and fuzzy. Or maybe that's hormones.

kinder, we told our parents at around 10 weeks, and IRL pals when I got to the second trimester* so it wasn't a total secret. Like I said we've been trying for awhile and I miscarried a little more than a year ago so I just didn't want to talk about it on the internet and then have something happen. Just a surfeit of caution, really. I did have to be mindful of not posting things that might give obvious hints, though, like that I ate nothing but baked potatoes for three days or that I puked in the street while waiting for the bus in front of Trader Joe's.

*me not drinking was too unusual to go unremarked, so we kind of had to come out with it. I went to lunch with a friend one Saturday and ordered a Sprite and she was like "YOU'RE PREGNANT!!!!!" because I didn't order beer.

aw congratulations!!

xp - gurl, you know it. a friend of mine came over (you know her carl!) and i offered her wine and she turned me down and i was like hold up....yes? and she looked at me and was like YUP and we hugged :)

I think every British guy learns at some point or another not to say LOL ARE YOU UP THE DUFF when a lady chooses a non-alcoholic beverage
Usually that point is far far too late though

hahah
