Revealing the big news
If you've made it to this blog, there's a very good chance you know that we are expecting. We had fun trying to decide how to spill the beans. We put all that energy of keeping our lips sealed into crafting a little kitty comic starring Alton and Olive.
Then Halloween came along and we decided to do a little reveal via costume to the folks around here who celebrated the holiday with us. It was Alana's great idea for me to be a bun in the oven. Julian was the baker. Oven construction courtesy of Julian, me, and my friends Christy and Pez, who were around to help the day I was trying to make this thing.
Here's the moment after Lauren found out:
And Erev Yom Kippur, telling my parents and Alana that I would skip the glass of wine with dinner and would not be fasting all day. . . because we are pregnant.
And now for the meat (or tofu) and potatoes of the update: The due date is May 23rd, which makes us almost 11 weeks along. Got to see Nugget (baby Goodman's nickname) on an ultrasound 4 weeks ago with my mom, then again yesterday with Alana and everything is looking great. Julian has been hard at work on service lately, but that won't be such an issue once Nugget arrives thank goodness. I'm surprised how mild my pregnancy symptoms have been! Feeling a bit on the sluggish side this week, not much to contend with these days on the morning sickness front, teeny bit of a baby bump that only I can see, and that about covers it. I feel so grateful that my body and Nugget have been cooperating. It feels so good to have made it this far and we're hoping for more smooth sailing. We hope you enjoy checking in for updates and pictures while we prepare for the baby's arrival.
