The News Spreads

Getting to share the news of our pregnancy has been a lot of fun.  The responses to our first post were varying.  Some were touching, others were humorous, and a few were admittedly a little troubling.  The responses ranged from, “Oh, we’re so happy you’re going to have a baby.” to, “Did Katie swallow a ring?” to, “Why are you all holding a Russian hat?”  My favorite was Katie’s mom’s response which was, “Are you gettin’ a critter?”  Apparently an ultrasound also masquerades as a soft, furry animal.  Is that an ultrasound she’s holding or an ultrahound?

Touching, humorous, and even troubling, we appreciate everyone’s responses and everyone’s enthusiasm.  We know we’re not the first couple in the world to be pregnant but it’s our first and we are very fortunate to have such a cloud of friends and family who love us enough to at least seemingly take an interest in our life and rejoice with us.
