MY WORD! You're pregnant! Congratulations to the utmost!

Keep the blogging going! I really want to be updated about everything. That little jellyfish is growing and becoming a real live person in there. That's about as close to magic as the real world can get.

Holy Guacamole! I feel like I need to give advice. Listen to Nichole! Work toward ever-improving states of physical and emotional health. Eat all the vitamins you can find. No tequila for you, now. Or gin. Bathe in canola oil, or something. Listen to lots of classical music; I've heard of some pregnant mothers going so far as to put headphones on their bloated bellies. Consider pilates!

Long term advice: Stock up on large safety pins -- you need those for the diapers, I hear. Get non-lead-based paints! You'll probably want some kind of sippy cup. Tissues for the insides of your bras, too, or you'll be leaking all over the place. And... A telephone book if you don't already have one, so the thing can sit on chairs at the table. That should just about prepare you until the thing can take care of itself.

Oh, and maybe some kind of scholarship fund. A tricycle, too. Insurance? A helmet!

I think I've been conclusive. Did I get everything? Maybe I'm missing something. Did I say a sippy cup? Oh, I did.

But genuinely and deeply, Liz: Congratulations to you and Gabe. You'll be fine. You'll be great! I can't wait to hear more.

Joe
