Congrats to Jeannie and Tommy!
After much anticipation, the ginormously BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! was finally revealed on gojeannie's Xanga! Whew—thought I was gonna bust waiting for this...
And in a similar vein, Himself and I have a not-quite-so significant proclamation. After, Baby N will be their first but ours is the next in a series.
Just the FAQs, ma'am:
1) Were you planning?
Yes and no. You'd think that with all of the effort made towards prevention, we wouldn't be blessed with another little mouth to fud, wouldn't you? However, the Real World dictates that we have absolutely no control over our destinies. And if you saw the slavishly interminable operation that occurs twice a day just to stuff these mouths, you'd have to agree.
2) Do you know the sex?
Nope, not yet. But we'll probably know in a couple of weeks...or not. We'll definitely know before he/she is 6 months old, though.
Seriously mandatory, if you catch my drift.
3) Are you experiencing "morning sickness"?
Nope, never felt better. Might be experiencing sympathy pregnancy weight gain for gojeannie, however.
Hey, it works as an explanation for moi.
4) When are you due?
Due for what?
5) How much time are you taking off work?
What is work? Is it the constant struggle to keep the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few (Himself and moi) or the one (moi)? I feel an existential Sartriennes (or is it Spockian?) observation coming on but will cut it short in order to not bore the pants off of my audience (all 2 of you).
So without further ado, may I present Sam:
Although Sam is and of itself a very fine monniker, we opted for it because of the androgynous nature of said name. You know—like Pat, Terry, Leslie, Lynn...even Lauren. But at least Sam sounds masculine (can any of those previous names say the same?) (okay, okay—so I was called "Lorne Green" in school) or cutely feminine.
Riiiiiiight.
