Life is full of surprises!

Well, just in case the icon didn't tip you off, this is an 'Announcement Post'! Because I think babies are always a surprise! Especially when you weren't expecting them to appear! Which is my roundabout way of saying that I'm pregnant! :)

Once I got over the initial *headdesk* reaction (the children were just getting big enough to be fairly easy - no more nappies, no child locks everywhere, leaving the house wasn't an expedition, etc.), the squee! factor set in, and I'm all excited now. Especially since my husband has turned into super-caring-and-extra-considerate-husband. Imagine Spike if he got Buffy pregnant and you'll have a good idea. ;)

So if I've been sort of non-commenty lately, this is why. I have been reading my flist, but somehow just not had the energy to reply to all the interesting posts out there. Also I'm trying to get this fic written, and it takes a lot of time. Hopefully it'll be worth it! *crosses fingers*

(Oh, and I'm not sure my mood is actually 'indescribable', but I love the picture and it's not one I can use very often!)

ETA: Could anyone tell me how to add a banner to my layout? buttersideup just made the most gorgeous 'Dead Things' banner (and wallpaper) and I suddenly feel like changing my layout. Thank you! :)

sweet_ali gave me a handy link - now I just need to sweet-talk husband into sorting it out for me!;)

I am very happy for you!

Great! :) And now I'm up to page two of comments! Good news certainly generate interest. *is happy*

Congratulations! Now I know two people on LJ currently expecting as well as two people in RL! As long as it's not me. ;)

Heee! Thank you! A time and a place for everything! ;)

Oh, so very late to the party. Congrats all the same, though. Good luck and good health to you!

Late? I only posted this morning! But thank you for your good wishes. :)

Especially since my husband has turned into super-caring-and-extra-considerate-husband. Imagine Spike if he got Buffy pregnant and you'll have a good idea. ;)
LOL! Have you explained that to him? Would love to know his reaction :)
Congratulations and hugs - wishing you no morning sickness ahead!

Have you explained that to him? Would love to know his reaction :)

Heee! I like how your mind works! Might tell him once his cold's better!

And thanks for the hugs and good wishes! *hugs back*

Oh congratulations! There is no bigger blessing than having a wonted baby come into your life!

We'll have to give you a virtual, online baby shower as the day approaches!

{{{{hugs}}}} to you and the proud pappa.

Love,
Kathleen

Thank you! Definitely feeling blessed at the moment - especially with so many lovely LJ friends. :)

On-line baby shower? Squee! Sounds wonderful! (I've never had a baby shower, virtual or real!)

{{{hugs}}} for you!

Congratulations! Wishing you a smooth and healthy pregnancy.

Thank you! (And what a beautiful icon...)

Wow! Big news! Congratulations! And super-supportive hubby an extra plus :>

I'm a very lucky girl - nice family, nice friends, nice fandom! :)

Thank you! *hugs*

Congratualtions to you and "Super-Supportive Hubby!" And who knows, this may give you more time to write (when you've been sitting up with the baby at 3am and can't get back to sleep) ;)

More time to write... I guess I hadn't thought about it that way, but it an excellent point! Also I'll be static for ages and ages while I feed the little one! And Fanfic has to be better than daytime tv!

Oh - and thank you! :)

OMG!!! Congratulations :) ::hugs:: Wonderful news!

::hugs back:: Thank you - everyone is so lovely! :)

Chiming in late, but congratulations! And I love getting a chance to use this particular icon, too. :-)

Oh, thank you! And that is an adorable icon! *sigh*

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! :) I'm so excited for you!!!!!!! :)

Thanks! And that icon just reminded me that I still haven't seen Chance - it's been sitting on a shelf for ages now. Will watch tonight! :)

Gigantically huge congratulations. What a wonderful way to start the new year.

Enormously huge thank you's! ;)

And yes, this is a year of surprises. :)

Congratulations!

Thanks! :)

Congratulations! How exciting! :)

Thank you! :) And I hope everything works out for you! *hugs*

OK, so I thought it was about time I got a chance to chip in with all this. Being Mr super-attentive hubby himself, I'm not sure why everybody has the idea that I'm not exactly this attentive all the time!!! (Perhaps I'm being a leeeeetle protective!)

Vis-a-vis the Spike/Buffy analogy, well, I'm not generally thrilled about everything in our lives being morphosed into Buffy/Spuffy/Spangel/whatever perspective, but I realise now that it is simply destined to be so (besides which in my protective haze I promised I wouldn't complain!)

Anyway, I have to say that, as these things rather land on you from above, expected or not, all your comments have done E. a world of good and she is very pleased to have a gaggle of friendly little electronic voices all around her. Good medicine!

See? Bestest husband ever!

(Using my Grosse Point Blank icon, because I know that you love that scene more than anything Spuffy!)

My goodness! How did I miss this post before! Congratulations!

Thank you! :)

And you were very busy posting your wonderful William-fic and missing Toys!

oh, I'm a bit late on this, but I just wanted to say: Congratulations! :)

Thank you! And the baby's not due until September, so 'late' doesn't really enter into it! ;)

That's lovely!

Wish my husband was so understanding about the Spike stuff.

Isn't it? But my husband would never let me have calenders, so there are definite limits to his acceptance!

Congratulations!!

::does happy dance::

I hope your feeling well and that your dearest husband continues with the Spike-like adoration and caring.

Love,
Scarlettgirl (who got just such a surprise exactly this time last year)

Squee! Most adorable icon ever!!!!

Feeling fine, if a bit tired (but that's nothing new).

And when I found out, I immediately thought about you and

mgal! Cuuuuute babies! :)
