this is not a teaser...i promise

i am pregnant.

yep. you read that correctly.

i am pregnant.

with a baby (you know, a fetus, a teeny-tiny human being) in my uterus.

and it moves a lot. i saw it. a lot. i heard it's heartbeat. "158 beats. perfect" she said. really it is there.

the baby is due to come somewhere around march 21st.

we don't have any baby stuff anymore. my baby is 7 years old. i am starting over.

but it is great.

really great.

So you're telling me that all of that stuff moving around in me could have a heartbeat? Really.....i'm not pregnant but I'm so glad that you are. Can we call her, "Baby Gloria"? I think it goes nicely with, "Baby Caesar".

The last time I had something moving around in me it turned out to be severe gas. It didn't have a heartbeat, though.

Congratulations!
