oh my gosh.

trying to get that perfect…

πŸ˜…

It has consumed a lot of brain power, but we still have time.

Are you expecting? πŸ‘€πŸŽ‡πŸ˜€

Is that a yes?!! Its all exciting!

We had Woodruff ready if it were a boy.

I have a list going and I like them all πŸ˜…

then it's early. later you'll hate them all πŸ˜‚

Well, maybe. I might dislike the rest of it because I found the one that I love. πŸ˜„

It is not true. You will not hate them, they will just stop fitting. All except the One.

I'm going mental here not knowing. Congratulations β€β€β€β€β€πŸŽ‡πŸŽ‡πŸŽ‡πŸŽ‡πŸŽ‡πŸŽ‡

πŸ˜„ Thanks, Z. I don't feel a need to make an announcement. I have dropped hints, that's it.

Fantastic news! You'll make a great mum x

I picked up on it immediately lol. My useless superpower...I knew that a couple of my friends were pregnant before they told me without even talking to them 🀣. I was off the last one, but it was my friend's sister-in-law who was pregnant not the friend. It's a pregnancy spider sense or something, completely useless.

thERE jOy in th@ 4 meE, just saying from past exp.*/*ya

Is it the smell? πŸ˜„ do we smell different?

The smell comes later, believe me 😜

I think I just pick up on the subtle behavior changes, you made a comment about no alcohol and focusing of the couple of people in your life who are most important.

I'm 4 hrs away from one of them and text infrequently with her, but we've been friends for about 30 years so I guess she gave me some indication πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. It's literally I wake up and say somebody is pregnant πŸ˜‚.

πŸ˜„ love it. I think you have a knack for paying very good attention and that in itself is a superpower.

So I have an embarrassing story. A friend got a little chunky since I last saw her for over a year. I asked her if she's pregnant. So you see, my radar is totally broken. πŸ˜‚ I was so ashamed.

Thanks ☺️ I am most definitely the observer, it's how I've survived the cigar lounge as long as I have. I know what everyone's buttons are and how much I can push them for fun when they get man sassy 🀣.

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ oh nooooooo!! Always let them announce it to you or you make a broad statement about I keep getting the feeling someone I know is pregnant just to save face.

This was some time ago. I definitely learned my lesson! πŸ˜‚ I was thankful my friend took it lightly.

Did she lose weight afterwards?

She did πŸ˜„ but not because of what I said. It's because she was getting married and wanted to look good for her big day.

Real friends do realise when you've put your foot in your mouth πŸ˜‚. Glad you were forgiven.

I hear β€œSatoshi” is popular these days

No way! πŸ˜„

I tried to find the closest recipe of the Chicken Orzo but nothing came close, perhaps because there are so many ingredients you can add and it's really up to you at a certain point. This one is closest and simplest.

https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/one_pot_chicken_and_orzo/

Good enough starting point! I got a nice big cast iron skillet perfect for the job. Browsing the chicken and then browning the orzo in the rendered fat sounds like the perfect tip. Then basically adjust based on which veggies and herbs you have on hand. πŸ’•

Yes, exactly! Enjoy πŸ˜ŠπŸ«‚

for real! were in the same boat, have one pick for either gender. congrats ak πŸ₯Ή

Thanks, ben! πŸ«‚ Same to you

We used social security lists from the early to mid 1900s, our thought process was this is going to be an adult who we want to be successful and people to respect instead of snicker about what his "real name" is behind his back. Unique names were very trendy when jr was cooking, but in our quest for a traditional name his was unique πŸ˜‚. If he'd been a girl, he was going to be named after my aunt that I'm the spitting image of...genetics do be strong sometimes. Enjoy the process and get giggles out of thinking about calling a teeny babe some of the names.

Wow!! We listed some of our favourite potential girl and boy names but narrowing them down to 1 is hard! πŸ˜„

πŸ˜‚ Cheese man applied his logic and reason to it, just like everything else. I went along because I love traditional names, we only had a fight about one name. It'll feel right when you come across it.

It is definitely a half serious half joking discussion for us so far. Perhaps the logic and reason will come when we're down to the wire πŸ˜‚ omg this is making me a bit nervous.

So. Fun. Nerves are normal, you have to laugh and joke about it all sometimes to relieve the pressure.

The one was a nice name, but also the name of a giant dumbass that I knew, so I had to push back. No way could I give my kid that name...

It worked out, though. Fortune 500 CEO names were good, too. Nobody on that list with a name like Ginasys Articulexis-Braydin Kandi Maflingo.

I loved that name... but as time goes by we did not choose poorly.

Wait...so I was...right?

In the end I picked the name he has, so no.

I suspected as much.

πŸ˜˜πŸ«‚

Do you already know what it will be? We had exactly one name πŸ˜… after weeks

No, not yet. We do have a running list of favourites. Doesn't make it any less difficult though πŸ˜…

Enjoy the ride. Congratulations!

Chad for a boy. Karen for a girl.

πŸ˜‚ Too American for my taste.

Opβ­• may*B* babe-E*****lOlz

my kids Mom would actually glow when pregnant - it was a *beautiful thing to me/t *Y* @AK #AK

How do you pronounce those names in German or French lol?

Gay and Annoying

The best news πŸ™

Baby 1, baby 2, etc… not hard.

Congratulations :)
