Don't read this until August 31st

Today, Em is 5 weeks pregnant. We got a positive test on Sunday, July 13th. Actually, we think we got a positive test on Saturday. But Gidget, our pug, chewed it up. So it was difficult to tell if the faint line on the test was indeed a faint line or just a bite mark. After a lengthy rationalization session, we came to the conclusion that Gidget could sense that Em was pregnant, and merely tried to let us know by bringing us the positive result. Then again, maybe she just tried to eat it because she likes to eat things (socks, toilet paper, bottle caps, etc.). Fortunately, on Sunday it was confirmed. A definite line. So it's official. We're having a baby. According to science, and math, the baby will be due on March 19, 2009. We're so excited that we want to tell everyone, even strangers on the street. But we can't yet. So this will have to do for now: We're pregnant!

Here is a picture of Gidget on a more peaceful day:

  1. Just a suggetion, if you have enough room, that might help Gidget make the transition from being the center of attention to not being. She might not feel so left out if you could bring in puppy Cannon 2 before baby Cannon arrives. Being pack creatures, having a bonded companion makes a striking difference in a dog's personality!
