Life is full of surprises!

[elisi]

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!;)

Congratulations! What exciting news. My brother and sister-in-law have three children and it is a nice number.

Congratulations!

[elisi]

Thank you!

I'm gonna have to write that an awful lot, I just realised!;)

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Yeah I know, sometimes it feels like all I ever type.

Anyway, after all this death and sickness, it's nice to hear some good news.

[elisi]

Thanks. I think we always intended to have at least one more. And thankfully we never got round to selling the cot! :)

[elisi]

That's a good point! Babies always cheer things up! :)

And I meant to ask - did the song get to you? I didn't realise quite how big it was.

[paratti.livejournal.com]

Thanks:) She's doing well.

[elisi]

Good to know - it was one of those posts I meant to comment on and then never got round to.

Oh, many congrats on the new bun! So very happy for you :)

In regards to the banner, check out this tutorial. That's the one that i followed and i got it. And believe me, I'm pretty inept ;)

[elisi]

I adore that icon! Oh - and I loved your post about being an aunty - another one I meant to comment on.

And thanks for the link. I'm hopeless with the things, but thankfully my husband is v. clever (he uploaded my mood theme f.ex.).

*hugs*

Oh congratulations , it's wonderful news ! How many children do you have already?

I have two sons , and always wanted a little girl.. but some serious health problems didn't allow me to realize this dream; ( But I'm perfectly grateful for having my boys!! )

And that :
"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. ;)"
Lucky , lucky woman! ;)

Congratulations! :)

I did get the song, haven't been able to d/l it yet. I'll let you know.

[elisi]

Thank you! :)

We have two little girls already (3 1/2 and 6), so it would be fun to have a boy - but really we're not bothered.

And I do have an amazing husband! And at the moment he's just so sweet. He's already bought me some ginger biscuits (to help with morning-sickness) and keeps having this adoring look on his face! I've no idea how I got lucky enough to find him!

Since I am so very done having babies, it's wonderful to be able to live vicariously through others. ;)

Congratulations to you all!

[elisi]

Ok! Just wanted to make sure that it hadn't broken your in-box! ;)

[elisi]

Thank you! :)

(And I do read your posts, I'm just terrible at commenting!)

[elisi]

Thank you! And I'll make sure to spam you with lots of pictures! :)
