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.

I'm pregnant!
