Can I tell you?

You! You wonderfully anonymous figure out there. I must tell you this now. This never uttered before news. (well i told my husband first but that's it, i swear) Just this last night, less than 19 hours ago, I found out something truly amazing. Do you know what that is? There is something going on here, in this town, actually, in this very house at this very moment. Nobody around here knows, shhh. There is some strange and secret stirring deep in the dark, red recesses of my very body. A tiny person in growing! Did you get that?! Astonishing!!

Well, it's astonishing and amazing and incredible news to me as well as my family and friends I'm sure. I just can't tell them yet. Why? Because I live in the faraway land of the Northeast Queendom. A day trip away to all I know and love. And a drive that must be planned and coordinated ahead of time. Why do we live here you ask? Ah, that tale is for another time.

For now..... I'M FREAKING PREGNANT!!!!

This is good news I assure you. Not that previously refered to husband and myself are in an ideal situation but who's really in the ideal situation? No one...exactly. We're ready emotionally and psychologically, we think. We have a nice, old house with enough room and a sweet, crazy, overly friendly dog. We're both in the restaurant business which has its pros and cons.
Pro: Flexible hours.
Con: I will be running my ass off serving people till my belly ends up in some one's $22 entree.

I feel like I can breathe now, thank you. This kind of venting feels more fulfilling at this time than my usual journaling. My secret is out on the internet!

So, day one of conscious expecting. So far, so good. Boobs are tender and belly's upset - but that's nothing new. When husband 0' mine gets home we'll celebrate with fish tacos and a movie. For now, I search the web for information and obsess.
