Thank you all for your felicitations on our momentous news.  Some quick items of interest:

Lindsey:  Yes, we are happy.  No worries on that account.  I guess my limerick wasn't clear enough on that point.

edh wins for the best comment yesterday, because it was in limerick form.  Perhaps I should require that all comments on this site be made in limerick form.  Perhaps that would guarantee that no one would ever comment again.  But I can encourage it, right?  Right.  So anytime you want to write a limerick in the comments, I would be most pleased.

The child's current name, courtesy of A., is Precious Cargo.  As in, "How's the Precious Cargo today?"  We are open to other naming options, however.  Beth:  Chainsaw is not one of them, although Burl has definite possibilities.

My due date is technically July 15, although I have scant faith in due dates, thanks to the early arrival of Cubby.  What is certain, however, is that this child will be born at a time of year that is much more hospitable to vulnerable new life than poor Cubby's time of arrival.  I never want to have a newborn at Blackrock in February again, thanks.

This timing means that I was newly pregnant on the day when I was whining about cutting up the deer.  Although I am extremely fortunate to be among the minority of pregnant women that never throws up, NO ONE should be cutting up a dead animal in the first stage of pregnancy.  It is unappealing in the extreme.  But I did it anyway.  Where's my prize?

Yes, we will find out the sex.  I am too much of a control freak to wait until the birth.  That appointment will be in March sometime.  Start placing your bets now!
