The above has been my response to the question in the subject line of this post on several occasions. Even my parents were kind enough to ask the question. Why are they asking the question you ask? Well...the man and I are planning on having a baby. Although it's a given that I'll be doing all of the having, he will play an integral part in the creation of said child so it's only fair to mention him. Yes folks, a King will be born!
To be fair a lot of reactions have been positive. We've been told it's fabulous news, we'll make a cool baby and our baby's hair will be classified as a world super power. My favourite was the following:
"I have never, ever, ever, ever been so pleased to hear that two people were planning to procreate. Seriously. The world needs a little mini Man/OQA baby...so thanking you in advance."
Awwwwwww....isn't that sweet?
Let the planning begin! I mean it. There is a lot of planning. Where, when, how (yes how) and who are just a few examples. I've started taking folic acid and prenatal vitamins, eating properly and getting my body in shape. I am a little on the old side for reproducing so I need to make my womb as hospitable as possible. Names are being rolled across tongues (Jack is out) and parenting methods are being discussed. As soon as the IUD is ripped from my uterus next week, we're in business! Frisky business that is...
After much discussion or mostly me just telling him how it's going to be, we've decided it's okay for me to share the details with the whole internets. Yes, you can follow along on our adventure from the comfort of your computer screen. You can laugh with/at us, cry with us should the need arise and congratulate us if/when the baby ever shows up. In return, I promise not to share pictures of my vagina, really, I promise. It's going to turn into a battleground down there and I really only allow photographs when she looks her best.
So enjoy and stay tuned, it's going to be an awesome adventure!
