If you don’t follow my updates on Facebook or Twitter (and I don’t blame you if you don’t), let me just make it official: I’m pregnant!
I didn’t write about it much at first because I had a miscarriage at the end of the first trimester in 2007 and I have been taking nothing for granted this time. But now I am almost done with my second trimester, and there’s no turning back. One way or another, there’s going to be a baby – but hopefully it’s not for another 3 months or so.
Brian and I have been feeling the increased need for communication about the baby and our evolving family, so I spent last weekend bringing brianandruby.org back from the brink of death (it had been neglected, attacked by hackers, and then put on ice).
I don’t write a lot about being pregnant, but I probably will have some mildly-entertaining bitching and moaning to share in the coming months. And of course that will be your one-stop shop for pictures, videos, and fascinating anecdotes about the most brilliant and beautiful child soon to grace the 21st century.
So, if that kind of thing is up your alley, come see us at http://brianandruby.org. We may or may not be cross-posting family stuff to our other blogs.
I caught a few notes about your pregnancy mid-stream on Twitter, but it seemed out-of-place to interject. But now that you’ve “officially” announced, let me “officially” congratulate you! If there were more parents like you and Brian in the world, I’d probably have a much more positive outlook on humanity. 🙂 Seriously though, caring and concerned people make great moms and dads. Best!
Congratulations, Ruby!
