A new family tradition

[geminigirl]

So about seven or eight weeks ago, we started a new family tradition here. It's really pleasant, and I'm enjoying it, a whole lot.

On Monday nights (usually) we sit down and read out loud, a chapter of a book together.

Our current choice for Monday night reading...Your Pregnancy, Week by Week.

Did I miss an official announcement? Or is this the official announcement?

[geminigirl]

This is the official announcement. I'm 13 weeks 4 days, and so I figured it was okay to announce it. More details (and a poll to find out who actually wants to read more of the gory details) will follow in a few minutes. After I pee again.

Yes, that!

[ladygreyy.livejournal.com]

*cocks an eyebrow* Is that a subtle announcement?

[geminigirl]

I didn't think it was all that subtle.

This is proof that I CAN keep a secret. Yep. Congratulations!!!

[geminigirl]

Thank you. It's 13 weeks 4 days, so it's fine. Especially after the ER visit this week (more on that later.)

Congratulations!

[geminigirl]

Thank you.

Congratulations! I can't think of two more wonderful folks for this to happen to :)

[geminigirl]

Thank you.

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

Whoo-hoo!! Congrats!

[geminigirl]

Thank you. I'm sure you understand if I decline the champagne. :)

Congratulations on making it through the stress of the first trimester! It's all a piece of cake from here.

Ok, I'm lying. But congratulations! :)

[geminigirl]

Thanks. I appreciate it. And thank you for not saying anything.

Hooray! Best wishes for a boring, uneventful pregnancy. ;-)

[geminigirl]

It's been rather uneventful so far other than the collapsing bookcase, but even that wasn't too bad, though it involved an ER visit that wouldn't have taken place were I not pregnant.

Congratulations!

[geminigirl]

Thank you. I love your penguin.

[melaniesuzanne.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!! YAY!!! :)

[geminigirl]

Snoopy!

My Snoopy is a winter Snoopy, but here he is.

And thank you.

[glasspumpkin.livejournal.com]

Such wonderful news - many congratulations!

[geminigirl]

Thank you.

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!!! :-)

[geminigirl]

What a great icon. Thank you.

Congratulations! I hated those books when I was pregnant — I didn't like being reminded that something the size of a finger was making me that tired.

[geminigirl]

The week by week book is nice. We went from the size of a lime to the size of a peach in a week though, and that sort of blew my mind.

And thank you.

[gsh]

Congrats.

[geminigirl]

Thank you very much.

So you'll come see us and meet the spawn when you visit your Dad? Or perhaps we'll drive out that way.

[scherzoid.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!!!

[geminigirl]

Thank you John.

[beaq.livejournal.com]

Oh, hooray hooray hooray!

[geminigirl]

Thank you.

[whitebird.livejournal.com]

Congratulations here, too!

[geminigirl]

You do know that congratulating me twice still means there's only one in there, right?

[shirleym.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[geminigirl]

Thank you. We were hoping to make it up for the chocolate party this winter, but it's likely to be right around the time that my doctor wants me to stop traveling, so that may be out of the question. I'm sorry we won't get to see you. Maybe next year.
