have a drink (or 6) for me...

Ok...so I can hold it in no longer.

Don't worry I will spare you the rest of the details of how this all happened -- it did involve chardonnay and I think it was even out of a wine glass (as much as I talk about red SOLO cups I bet you didn't know that I actually have crystal wine glasses and not just any crystal but Waterford crystal.)

Ok, so they will only get used for an occassional diet caffeine free Sprite or 7-Up or my latest and greatest ice water with a huge slice of lemon because... WE ARE HAVING A BABY. Ok, so I will be the one having the baby, which is a good thing because old Golfdad thinks that having a cold for 3 weeks is terrible -- IMAGINE BEING CUT OFF FROM CHARDONNAY AND DIET COKE FOR 40!!!!!

As you can imagine, we are not having just any baby but a little poppy seed sized baby that is making my head hurt, my body crave only McDonald's hamburgers (sorry Johanna I know this will make you sick), my pants tight and my boobs bigger. The problem being, that they are already the size of another human so I might try to register them both to vote that way I won't have to pick just one presidential candiate in the January primarys. Lucky me.

Anyway, I can now ROUND to 8 weeks -- which means I am barely pregnant, pregnant enough to share and pregnant enough that if anything happened everyone is going to find out about it -- after all I AM NOT very good at keeping my mouth shut.

Just to make it easy, I thought I would share with you answers to all of the "typical" questions that pregnant women are asked:

1) NO, we are not finding out what we are having and we don't care if it is a boy or girl
2) NO, we don't like any names -- Oh, sorry Scott said if it is a boy we are naming him Huck
3) J.P. wants a sister name Emily and has been trying to look down my throat to see the baby in my belly -- we should just have rolls with poppy seeds and maybe I can lodge one in the back of my throat and trick him
4) YES...I will have a "natural" childbirth -- well, ok, nothing natural about it, provided that my water breaks and I have no "action" and am forced to take Pitocin I will take everything they will give me -- including an epidural. If this darling child should require an extended stay in the NICU (Jeepers was there for 7 days) I will also require some sort of anti-anxiety since I had to kick my habit to get pregnant this time.
5) Isn't it during golf season???????? YES...YES IT IS...AND I WILL BE HOME A LOT BY MYSELF SO FEEL FREE TO SIGN UP TO TAKE J.P. FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS AT A TIME.
