We’re having a baby!

I can finally reveal our secret, which some of you clever readers already guessed: Mr. Sweety and I brought a little souvenir back from our trip to Rome. We are having a baby!

This Thursday I’ll be 15 weeks pregnant.

I’m very happy I can finally let you in on our little secret. I wish I could have told you sooner, however, we wanted to make sure we told most of our family and friends first. We didn’t want them to find out through our blogs.

We’re excited, happy, thankful, blessed and like every parents to be: scared.

I know a lot of my blogfriends blogged through the entire pregnancy. I feel a bit silly for quitting it for over month. I wasn’t sick or anything. Just extremely tired. I have never felt that kind of tiredness in my life. I didn’t just quit blogging, I quitted social life too. And traded family, friends and outdoor fun for many hours watching – no need for brain - TV shows. And when I wasn’t watching TV? I slept many many many hours.

However, as you noticed, I’m back blogging. I’m back in my life too. My energy level is coming back and I’m feeling fantastic.

I will blog some more soon. About 2 of my favorite bloggers who will give birth to their baby’s in the exact same week as I. About maternity clothes. About Mr. Sweety and how much I love him for everything he is and does. About my boobs (pregnant woman can talk about boobs!). About nausea & eating. About brushing my teeth. About the nickname we gave our baby.

And about how sometimes we don't really realize that... WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!

Fantastic! Guess I don't win a postcard this time ;(
But it was from Rome:) It is as old as the baby!

I found a great french website from someone spoofing the Apple site and writing about her baby. It is named ibébé: http://www.teaser.fr/~abigeault/imac/

Posted by: swissfondue at August 9, 2005 10:21 PM

Congratulations!!!! I am very excited for you and Mr. Sweety.

Posted by: Nicole at August 9, 2005 10:31 PM

Holy cow! Pregnant! Yay! And we're less than a month apart in age. (My birthday's coming up soon.)

I'm so happy for you and Mr. Sweety. This is wonderful news, and all the best to you two.

Posted by: alektra at August 9, 2005 10:41 PM

Posted by: Beth at August 9, 2005 10:59 PM

Actually... I would never have guessed that LOL CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Posted by: JoiseyGirl at August 9, 2005 11:03 PM

Congratulations to you both. That's wonderful news and I'm very, very happy for you!!

Posted by: Chris at August 9, 2005 11:58 PM

This is Zandria's friend...I usually keep up with your site from the link on hers.....I wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS on your news. That is wonderful! Even though this is my first post to you, I still was wondering yesterday what it was...lol

Posted by: Dana at August 10, 2005 12:00 AM

Congratulations! That's great news. I'm so happy for you and your husband. Are you going to find out if it's a boy or a girl? Hope the nausea passes soon.

Posted by: Milly at August 10, 2005 1:18 AM

Whew! I'm glad to hear it wasn't bad dolmades!

My heartiest congratulations to you the three of you!

Posted by: Victor at August 10, 2005 3:03 AM

Congrats!!! I am so happy for both of you. Here is a very American question, are you two going to get married before the baby is born?

When is the baby due? I am assuming sometime in January or February? I guess you won't be coming to the US at Christmas now :(

I am so excited for you, first Chris and now you and Freeze M. If Zandria or I were with someone I would worry we would be next.

Posted by: goodsnake at August 10, 2005 4:42 AM

w00t! congrats!

Posted by: tj at August 10, 2005 4:50 AM

YAAAYYYYY!!! I'm so glad that the secret is finally "out." You will make the cutest Dutch mommy EVER. :)

And hahahahahaha to what Goodsnake just said! We are both single, but I suspect that she (unlike myself) wishes that it weren't that way. We don't have to worry about ME getting into the pregnancy-condition anytime soon! :)

I'm also glad to see that my friend Dana decided to de-lurk and post a comment herself. It's always nice for new readers to identify themselves. :)

Posted by: Zandria at August 10, 2005 5:40 AM

Another friend of Zandria's delurking to send my Congratulations and Best Wishes!

Posted by: Janet at August 10, 2005 8:55 AM

Aaaaaaaaaaah!!! Pimples! That is just fan-fucking-tastic!!
And you know what!? My sis is in her 16th week! She is due January 26!
Exited exited exited! I wish I had the nerves to grow up and start thinking about babies. But I guess I am just a little more scared than you are. Make sure you enjoy!
And I would already like to say welcome to the little child inside you. Little wonder already!
Oke...now I have to stop babling...but I an just so exited!

Posted by: Kim at August 10, 2005 9:15 AM

YAY!!!! I WAS RIGHT!!!! When are you due? I am due FEB 8!

Wow Today I am 14 weeks so we can share in the tips. CAn you email who your bloggers are who are expecting?? I am so excited!! I caved at 9 and a half weeks so I am totally impressed that you waited this long!!!


AGAIN CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Posted by: mrsmogul at August 10, 2005 10:25 AM

Congratulations!
I hope you'll have a delivery like I had almost 11 years ago: I didn't even know I had contractions, I only felt "a little bit strange" in my abdomen. And about 2 hours later, we held a most wonderful baby boy in our hands!
Enjoy it!

Posted by: Elke at August 10, 2005 1:29 PM

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! I am so excited for you (that was my inkling of a guess!). Wow, that's awesome. You will love being a mommy. It's a wonderful thing.

Posted by: Chrishawn at August 10, 2005 1:58 PM

Yay! Congratulations to you both! That's definitely a fine excuse for not blogging for a month. I'm so excited for you!

Posted by: Kerry at August 10, 2005 4:16 PM

Posted by: j-a at August 10, 2005 4:44 PM

Congratulations to you and Mr. Sweety! OMG, it's going to be one adorable kid, that's for sure!!!

Posted by: Lisa at August 10, 2005 4:56 PM

That was TOTALLY worth waiting for! Congratulations!

Posted by: granolaspice at August 10, 2005 6:32 PM

LOL Rome does have that affect on people, doesn't it? Well that will certainly remain a trip to be remembered in more ways than one!

I'm so happy for you and FreezeM. That's really fantastic. The best of luck throughout the whole pregnancy. I'm excited to find out if it's a boy or a girl. But I'll be patient. :-D

Posted by: Joe at August 10, 2005 7:02 PM

I'm so happy for you! Talk about your boobs all you want!

Posted by: Zoot at August 10, 2005 8:35 PM

Congratulations to you and Mr. Sweety

Posted by: Deb at August 12, 2005 1:40 PM

CONGRATS! Hahahahahaaaa! I guessed it.. Anyway, I'm glad the tiredness is better. That was the WORST for me. I hated it.

Posted by: Ginny at August 12, 2005 6:41 PM

Posted by: char at August 13, 2005 9:17 PM

Finally, I can do the happy dance in public. And don't forget being able to blog about constipation! That's always a good one...

Congratulations, due date buddy!

Posted by: Casey at August 15, 2005 12:52 AM

Congratulations to both of you!

Posted by: Jenn at August 15, 2005 3:47 AM

OMG! I'm soooo happy for you and Mr. Sweety! That is FANTASTIC news! Enjoy your pregnancy - they say it goes fast, but for me it dragged. I cannot wait to see pics of the newest Sweety - only 25 more weeks to go (unless your lucky like me, then you only have 21 more weeks)!

Posted by: Marie at August 15, 2005 3:58 AM

Great news! Congrats!
