Oh look I couldn't help it, alright?
We've told our families about it and the few very close friends who knew we were shooting up guineapig gonad juice or whatever the hell that stuff is in an effort to fall pregnant. We generally talk about it in hushed and sensible voices and the phrases "still early days" and "all being well" are scattered freely throughout the conversation. It's the sensible way of doing it but frankly it's not very satisfying.
But then last night we were out at the Robert Lepage show and maybe it was the unsettling puppetry or the soothing air of intimacy he created but afterwards we were chatting to some Not As Close Friends, one of whom has been through IVF and another who frequented the Chinese Fertility Goddess (and both of whom have 2 beautiful kids apiece) and we were talking about What We'd Been Up To Recently and finally I couldn't stand it anymore and I dragged the CFG recipient off to one side and said: ok, I do have some other news.
She looked at me. You're having a baby, she said.
No, I said. We're having two.
Oh my god, she said. Oh my fucking god. I am so Fucking Happy for you.
And then we did a little skipping hugging dance right in front of the theatre.
And it was deeply deeply satisfying.
Maybe it's Narnia

So glad you've finally come out! And that it's a joyous release for you. Enjoy spreading the news and be ready for many congrats to come.
wonderful wonderful!
Hooray for the satisfying outing! Glad to hear from you, too.
Got to beware of those sensible cautious people. Don't let them get you down!
Go for joy and satisfaction every time.

by ALL means dance your joy!! and SING it, too... you deserve to be happy. During my first pregnancy I felt like telling strangers in the grocery line. Let your heart dictate your decisions about things like this.
Congratulations!! xox
Fabulous! You deserve every joyful skipping moment. May you be blessed with a million more.
One of those precious moments we dream of since starting TTC. By all means, enjoy!
This is truly the best news I have heard in ages. I am so chuffed I may even start posting again! I'm going with the runt. Much love.
okay, I must confess. I told a bunch of people in Topanga Canyon that you are preggers. I know I shouldn't have. I know I didn't have your permission. But now that you've outed yourself, I figure I can come clean!
How are you feeling??? Tired?
Yay for you! Happy dances all round.
Yay! Keep dancing.
phew
i'd been feeling guilty 'cause i had told my parents, husband and a whole bunch of my friends your news

I am so glad you are enjoying this! You deserve to!
I guess coming out of the closet is pretty much always a good thing! Well done.
Yay!
Hurrah for spontaneous dancing & celebrating. I always prefer good news to be heralded by trumpets...maybe you could incorporate that for your next 'outing'
I'm so happy you've come out! Hopping up and down is perfectly acceptable.
Coming out is a great feeling!
Yeah, that's my style too. Helped by looking 5 months pregnant because of OHHS I've told everybody since day 14 that I was pregnant, and from some days after that there are two in there. Why not?! You are!!
Bloody well done!!! Good for you!!! Skipping is SO underrated.
telling the world DOES feel wonderful! CONGRATS!
big hugs to all four of you! happy dances all round. yay! xoxox
That's awesome. :)
Yay for the Happy Dance! I'm so glad you finally get to do it.
Please, go on and celebrate. When there's good news to share we shouldn't hesitate - it makes the world happier for the rest of us.

Oh good lord! I'm dumbfounded!
Ooh, we have to all go over there and vote at once!!
Fantastic...but not as fantastic as the actual thing of being pregnant. I told loads of people but all my friends don't blog so they didn't really get it.
Yes and yes and yes.
I'm so glad that you got to have that little moment. You really deserve it.
Oh God, now I have tears in my eyes, and I'm ready to do my own little happy dance for you, Ova, who I've never met, but who I know just the same, and for your two little twinkling stars.
Many congratulations!!
