Wow.

THANK YOU GUYS. SO MUCH.

I really didn't expect that many people to be paying attention, srsly, but I'm thrilled that you took a second to congratulate us. My flist is so amazingly dazzling.

My due date is February 26, which doesn't tell us jack shit about when it'll actually get here, lol.

So far, this pregnancy has been a little rougher than when I was carrying Kieran. With him, I only got sick once, and that was because I hadn't taken the time to eat before I left for work. This time around, I'm constantly on the verge of being sick, but never actually getting there, which is pretty goddamned annoying. That and the holy-fuck-I'm-tired, of course. BUT. I only have about two weeks left in my first trimester, so with a little luck, the sick and tired will begin to ebb soon.

fmh and I are kind of hoping for a girl this time, since we already have a son. Of course, we'll love he/she/it to pieces whatever it happens to be.

The girls are THRILLED. Hoku's always hugging me and kissing my stomach, and Malu is constantly putting her ear up to my belly -- she swears that she can hear the heartbeat. "Honey," I tell her, "at this point, you're just hearing my stomach rumbling. Again." I'm just really glad that they're happy about having another sibling. Kieran's too young to care one way or the other, I think.

Speaking of rumbling tummies...it's time to eat. NOMNOMNOM
