Katie & Scott & Simon & Cecily.
I heard my unborn baby’s heartbeat today.
It was really fast.
I assume this means it’ll have some kind of superpowered heart, allowing it to run faster, punch harder, or be a super princess if it’s a girl and conforms strictly in societal expectations.
Either way, there is little to no chance that our baby will be anything other than a superhero. Maybe a superheart will even allow it to fly. Or at the very least, jump really high.
There’s really no way I can follow up yesterday’s post with anything nearly as exciting. We’ve known about the baby for a few months now and have kept it a secret from most people outside of our immediate families.
Either way, we’ve been anxious to share the news and are certainly happy that so many of you are as excited as we are. Katie’s also relatively happy to be out of the first trimester, as the morning sickness is supposed to abate.
We just got back tonight from a trip up to Portland. We managed to stop by Ashland on the way back and catch Equivocation at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival last night. I also got to spend a bit of time today at Funagain Games, a internet board game retailer with a storefront in Ashland and Katie and I wandered through their warehouse for a quarter of an hour.
Also, I feel like I’ve been eating for three straight days. Multiple times over the past few days I’ve felt like I’ve been too full to ever eat again. It was, in all, a fantastic trip.
The next big projects: fixing the DVR, getting new tires on the car, and beating Batman.
Katie and I are taking a nine month trip to Babytown.
We’re going to catch the bus at the impregnation station.
Katie can now drive in the carpool lane by herself and (maybe) get away with it.
Something something something BABY!
Now, to answer all of your initial baby questions, in order:
Now, you know! Spread the news! Jump for joy! Buy us baby stuff!
In return, I’ll continue to update about Katie’s vomit counts and attempt to take pictures of her belly when she isn’t watching!
Or, you know, continue to write about video games.
I thought there would be more, but maybe I’m just creative enough tonight.
Am I missing any other good/obvious choices?
