What the J? — Circle of Life
August 20, 2007 | What the J?, Jojo, Baby Making
Wow. For the most part, my posts have been pretty down lately…or well, non-existent. I have so many near-posts written in my thick skull, and they’re all about depression, suicide and other important but, well, depressing topics that I will address later. I also have other more fun topics that I’d like to address but will probably be backed up so that 3 months down the road, I’ll remind you of the time we went back to Michigan to visit family and post some awesome pictures of Jojo at various museums, zoos or playgrounds. Or tackling his cousin. Tackling girls is a new phase. And hitting mommy. Not to mention: pinching mommy’s neck. Ouch. LOVE these phases.
So. But. YES! Hi. Here’s a little something for you to nibble on, nay, CHEW UP and YUMMY YUM enjoy. Something I could have told ya’ll a couple weeks ago, but I didn’t know how best to package it. Here’s a pic for you to GET what I’m trying to say and hey, win something with my What the J(ojo)? contest– just caption this picture in the comments!!
(p.s. Oh yes, we are. March 14. More nauseated and t.i.r.e.d. than last time. THANKS we’re excited, too. And YES, that’s why I wasn’t drinking at BlogHer.)

“Jimminy Christmas, Ma. I can’t keep this shit a secret any longer.”
Oh wait, that was me. Not Jojo!
Do I even need to (can I even try to) express my excitement and love for the Squirrel Family? I’m with Lizarita in the EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE department. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Congratulations, and I’ll be rooting for a March 20th delivery so Henry can have an awesome Birthday Buddy.

Yippee!! I’m very excited for the entire Squirrel family. (But not so excited about the yucky first trimester crap.)
My caption:
“Does this mean I’ll have to share the internet with some damn baby? I hate sharing.”
(And guess what? Babboo is throwing things at mommy in our house too. And also biting her. That just started last night.)

Congratulations!
Are you going to find out the gender early, or wait until delivery? Keep us posted - and current - no more waiting to share news with your web fans!!
I wish you all the best - easy pregnancy, easy delivery, and no sibling rivalry!
And P.S. You still owe us a Harry Potter/Bagpipe quadrant
August 21st, 2007 at 12:59 pm, Audrey Says:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so happy for the entire Squirrel family!
I read your post over at New to Us before coming here and when I saw the line about you feeling a little nauseous lately, my mind immediately went were any good blogger’s mind goes when she sees the word nauseous on a blog: “Is she pregnant?!” I am so damn excited for you!!!
“So THAT’S what a baby squirrel looks like!”
August 21st, 2007 at 1:23 pm, dee Says:
I am quite amazed that you kept it to yourself that long. Of course, I think I told the internet about 2 seconds after making sure we had called all of the appropriate family members first. Congratulations!
Sorry, no caption. All of my brilliant ideas were already used above.
August 21st, 2007 at 1:43 pm, Nic Says:
I am so so so thrilled for you! I can’t wait for McFetus to come now.
And my caption “Hey, I wanna pee on something too!”
August 21st, 2007 at 1:44 pm, Nic Says:
Also, I would like to add that with two, you still have a LONG way to go to catch Michelle Duggar, but we can work on getting the perfect hair poof in the mean time, k?
August 21st, 2007 at 1:57 pm, motherofbun Says:
Woot! Yeay, more little beautiful, sweet, amazing Squirrel babies on the way.
I was wondering when you’d be announcing your big news!

Congratulations!
The caption should be, “Is that my new iPod? Thanks Mom and Dad!”
August 21st, 2007 at 5:19 pm, Steph Says:
First, Congrats! I’m very happy for you. Second, the caption…hmmm, there are so many good ones already on here. I seem to keep getting the runner up position, so I’ll go with the first thing that popped into my head (of course this will date me)…”MOM! Gimme that Lik-M-Stick” (remember the Lik-M-Aid Fun Dip?).
August 21st, 2007 at 5:41 pm, Adria Says:
Babies are wonderful. I am happy for you.
August 21st, 2007 at 6:10 pm, Casey Whiteaker Says:

Congrats! Here’s my caption:
“Oh, hell no.” Or
“Give me this stupid thing, mom. I’ll teach this kid a lesson.”
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:32 pm, Hilary Says:
Holy crap! Oh my gosh HS, congratulations! I’m so excited for you. Hope you feel better soon. Here’s to a fantastic pregnancy.
I just scanned through the comments but Carissa’s “sneaky little tramp” cracked me up. I can’t believe you were pregnant at BlogHer and kept it a secret!
Oh, also, Bunny should totally win the caption prize. At least from what I caught, that was the funniest caption.
Congrats again!
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:09 pm, Jackie Says:
Woohoo! Congrats to you and the Squirrel family! Can’t wait to hear how JoJo adapts to the idea of a lil’ brother or sister! Seriously, best to you!
