The Hits Just Keep on Coming

My Life

I have a bowl of ice cream, but find myself still hungry. I go into the kitchen to see what else I feel like. I’m searching through the fridge, looking for something tasty. Hmmm. Ooooo! Pickles!

I am halfway through the jar of pickles before I realize what I’m doing. Ice cream and pickles? Seriously? Do I count as a walking cliche if I don’t actually use the ice cream as a dip for the pickles?

I guess what I’m trying to say is, we’re having a baby. A little, tiny baby, which will be far cuter and will smell even better than all other babies available on the market today.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but lately? Things have been going just great.

  7. I’m wondering if you got knocked up in Iceland. You know, the magic of that blue lagoon, the sexiness of the resulting hairstyle…
    Anyway, congrats!

  19. I was wondering when this news would be here! Part of me is secretly joyous that you told me IN PERSON. How blissfully sweet for your family.

    If it’s a black child, remember… it’s mine. My redhead will be sent to you in the swap.

    That’s a total deal for you. He’s pottytrained already and can fix a mean PB&J.

  25. Saw you devouring watermelon via Dooce’s site and while I agree it is so awesome when you’re with bebe (like me – week 24), I just had to share my fave snack with you: Salt and Vinegar chips with a nice big lemonade. Try it, you’ll like it! Congrats on the wee one!

  27. Congratulations! In my opinion, which is of course extra reliable because I don’t have any children myself, kids raised by parents who are both witty AND goofy turn out the best. Your offspring is/are already off to a good start.

  28. Congratulations! We just brung home a second one (four days ago) because the smell technology has come so far in just three years that the old one was obsolete. I doubt they’ll actually IMPROVE on this one, but yours will doubtless have a very pleasing scent. Best of luck!

  30. So, Are you & Bryan going to have a naming contest here? Or at least give your readers a chance to narrow down the choices?

    Sounds dangerous, yet exciting, no?
