ANNOUNCEMENT: Tiffany and I are Pregnant!!!!!!

Well, "preggers' as we like to call it amongst ourselves and our friends. We're in her 6th week so it's a little early but we decided to tell everyone anyway! I'm soo excited, Tiffany is so excited.

We've been spending a lot of time lately on the sofa, just trying to not succumb to morning sickness. I've been trained well enough now to know that when Tiffany starts getting restless in the morning to just get up and make toast right away. I'm considering just setting the toaster up in the bedroom next to the alarm clock. Buzzer goes off, hit the snooze button, and then hit the toast button. Mabye that's a new invention right there. You could call it the Morning sickness snoozer alarm clock. Of course it wouldn't be as fancy as something out of Wallace and Grommit, but it would do.

To combat the morning sickness, Tiffany's sister Christina bought us these candies that are all natural, and are supposed to help soothe nausea. Oddly enough they're kosher too. I wonder what Rabbi gets that job, just sitting at the end of a conveyer belt, like that famous episode of I love lucy, blessing each piece of candy as it comes off the line. Well no verdict yet on the candies. If I hear a pause in the moaning from the sofa, I'll consider it a victory.

Tomorrow is our first Ultrasound. Pictures to follow (if there are any, I have no idea about any of this). I'll be going to the appointment also after I swoop into work to try for a new position/job. From what I hear, they don't use the attachment on the belly. Since it's so early, they have to use a different attachment. Lets just say, the attachment requires a condom. I'm not sure if I'll be grossed out or turned on. Probably neither, just amazed when I hear the baby's heartbeat.

We've been talking about names lately too. Tiffany has already picked out a few that she likes. Of course we'll both have to agree on the names, and I want to offer some suggestions too. I've proposed we play a game, where we both pick two names, each month until the baby is born. We'll put them in a bag and around delivery, we'll pull them out and see which of the nominations we like best. It sounds fun and all, but I'm sure we'll just end up picking something on our own. Suggestions are welcome!!!

I'll be working on getting pictures posted of the baby, us (we still don't have a profile picture) and just our life in general. So expect to see some changes around the ol' Blog.
