Nothing is truly official in this era of virtual socialising until it is up on Facebook. So, K and I are now actually expecting a baby!

There is no doubt that our child is going to be a geek (or if she manages to escape that part of her nurturing, she will be a non-geek who is very well versed is geekdom!). To properly start her journey towards geekhood, a pregnancy announcement involving Doctor Who and Star Wars was absolutely necessary. K is a Whovian  and the best birthday gift she has ever given me is Star Wars sheets (nuff said!).

 
Today is our first ultrasound. If all goes well we should find out if we have one, two, three, four (or more!) babies on the go!

We debated whether or not to put in two embryos. I was concerned for K's health (she has injured her back in the past) any the babies' health and, between you and me, am a little scared of two babies (let alone two babies all at once!). We went with two to increase our odds of getting pregnant, especially given the journey (emotional and physical) that this has been. Note: a recent study suggests that our logic on that isn't entirely sound.

 
I haven't purchased a Slurpee in about 15 years! Two days ago I got a series of texts requesting one. "I really want one! :)"

So, I found myself in Mac's (which actually calls them Frosters) contemplating whether a bucket-sized container of ice and syrup would be enough. We shall see how long this craving lasts.
I desire
And I crave

They say that pregnant women experience vivid dreams. This seems to be a function of funky hormones as well as better dream recall due to frequent waking (if the baby moves or the bladder calls).
