Journal anzha's Journal: (o.O) or yippie! I think I feel both at the same time. 1
Bombshells keep falling on my head!
Or are they rose petals?
Well, not literally. Sometimes it just feels like that.
Note. This is not a whine. I seem to have just had a deer in headlights moment though. Reason being? My far better half just announced to me a couple days ago that she's pregnant. It seems the SDI (Sperm Defense Initiative) had a leaker somewhere despite there being a layered defense.
We got a pregnancy test last night and used it. We batted two for two.
I am stoked. I am overwhelmed. I am frightened as hell. I couldn't be happier.
This completely mucks up all our plans. We're going to run off and get a fast elopement. This is going to piss off a lot of my family. They can deal. Getting my SO on my insurance is far, far more important.
This totally screws all our plans. If anything I have learned is that a warping of a military commentary is a truism for everyone else as well: no plan survives contact with life. The graceful thing is to land on your feet.

Congratulations! No, really! (Score:2)
I went through almost exactly the same thing just about 4 years ago. We decided to have the baby, and a couple of weeks later, to get married. We managed to arrange a real wedding before she started to show, although if was not easy.
Hastily arranged as it was, we have never regretted it, and even decided to have a second child, who was born last May.
Warning: the first trimester is tough for a woman. Cut her plenty, plenty slack.
