figs again!

you know how when you learn something new, it inevitably pops up in your life again?
i guess that's what figs are for me this year. it's a good thing i learned what a fig was this summer because i had to pull out my fig knowledge again this week.

this is a strange segway into the jist of this post, but if you know me, you know that i enjoy random stories. so hang in there.

i have been getting weekly emails from a popular website for 11 weeks now, and this week, it claimed that, "Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed."

see? i needed to know about figs again because my baby is the size of one!
ok, now the fig portion of this post is over. breathe easy.

this is the official blog/facebook announcement that ben and i are going to be parents! or, already are parents of a small fig-sized child.

we've known for awhile, so i won't be appearing on "I Didn't Know I was Pregnant" on TLC. (if you haven't heard about this, i'm not sure i believe it. but it sounds interesting. i haven't watched it yet)

the baby is due May 13th. which means i get out of school early! that is cause for celebration.

here is a little picture of him/her, taken about 3 weeks ago. cute, huh?


so that is our big news! we are very excited. and oh yes, if you haven't heard, my buddy erica is pregnant, too. smiles.
