I'm pregnant!

[sev]

I'm pregnant.

Not much in the way of details available, yet. To cover the most-common questions:

• yes, this was on purpose. (okay, this is not a commonly-asked question, but I've suspected some people of wondering.)
  
• I'm seven weeks in, and due in late December. I knew pretty much as early as I could know, as I was paying excrutiatingly close attention.
  
• it'll be awhile before we know the gender, but yes, we'll be finding out before the birth.
  
• The kid will be getting a hyphenated last name, but Z & I haven't started the discussion about a first name, yet.
  
• I'm experiencing near-constant nausea and fatigue, so I haven't been getting out much. Despite this, I'm still going to Wiscon. If the flight really wears me out, well, we're getting there early so I can spend extra time collasped in my hotel room if I have to.
  

There. Now I'm all set for answering the uncommon questions! Except you should go ask them over at sev_and_baby. I've made a separate journal for talking about baby stuff, so I don't have to clutter *this* journal with it, and so that I can let family members keep up to date without having to wade through whatever might be here.

Congratulations and I wish you a healthy, happy baby. (We don't really know each other but we have friends in common--I'm going to friend your baby journal, if that's not okay just let me know.)

Congratulations! I was vaguely wondering, last time I was over.

Congratulations!

Congrats on the pregnancy that you wanted!
(And condolences on the nausea you probably didn't want!)

Congrats!

We can be collapsed in our respective hotel rooms at Wiscon together. (Or separately. Um, you know what I mean.) Not that I have a good excuse like pregnancy - just overwork.

I hope the nausea/fatigue go away quickly.

[sev]

hah! Are you trying to tell me that writing a book's not like giving birth? I've heard otherwise, from women who've done both! :)

[firecat]

I'll take their word for it...

Yay! :D

Congratulations!

If you want to discuss nausea aids, ping me in email. I had unusually bad nausea (including a hospitalization at one point), and learned what could keep it at least moderately at bay so I could function. (In my case 'function' was be able to teach a class where every break I'd go to the bathroom and yack. Good thing I was the teacher and could call the breaks...)

Congrats--that's wonderful news! Hope the nausea passes quickly--mine ended at 11 weeks, so there's hope it will fade soon for you. Best wishes for a happy healthy you during the pregnancy and a happy healthy baby at the end of it!
