I wasn't going to post this. Not yet. I was going to save all my drafts on the topic and then publish them at a "safe" time, but I hate the duplicitous feel of it. You all have been through so much with me, and should anything bad happen I would need to write about it and I would want you to there with me. Plus, I'm finding it nearly impossible to separate my posts in any kind of neat way.
And so without further ado, I'll let Landon make his announcement:
He's pretty excited.
And so are we.
Even if we were really, really surprised.
A few notes:
1. If I haven't told you yet in real life and you're finding out on the blog, I'm sorry, this was a rather sudden decision - we hadn't told many people outside of family.
2. Please don't say anything on facebook yet. While I'm willing to share any possible future sad events here, I'm not willing to do so through a facebook status update.
3. I'm in my 7th week and spent all day thinking I was going to throw up. This was so much easier to do in law school.
wow!!! congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I wish you an easy pregnancy and delivery.
ReplyDeleteHOW EXCITING!! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLandon is going to be a great big brother. Watching my two be siblings is really cool in a way I didn't expect.
Feel better. This part is hard, I know!
Congratulations!! I was wondering, it seemed as if you were hinting around a few weeks back. :-)
ReplyDeleteNo, no hints. In fact when I wrote this post I was happily reconciled with the idea of waiting another 6 months or so before even trying. Turns out, I was about 3 weeks pregnant at the time ;)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!!! Very excited for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! I hope you start feeling better soon. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Wonderful news!
ReplyDeleteOh my GOSH!!!!! I am beyond exited for you, LL! YAY!! :D
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! Congratulations!!! Funny how I don't know you in "real life" and I am so excited for you and your family! I hope the morning sickness is not too bad!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm so excited for you and JP and Landon! I hope the sickness goes away quickly, and you can enjoy being pregnant!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Our surprise came first and blew our minds. You'll have great spacing this way. My second son is 9 weeks and lying on my chest. Parenting an infant is way easier the second time.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! Good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteyay! congrats!!!! i'm the anon lawyer mama from a few days ago (the one with all the guilt), and I am 7 weeks prego with my second, too! :D
ReplyDeleteso excited to share this journey on your blog!
Congrats- such wonderful news, so excited for you guys!!
ReplyDeleteaw, LL, congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! The second I saw the title of your blog post, I just KNEW! Seriously everyone I know is pregnant and I totally feel left out! Is it as exciting the second time around even when it's a surprise?
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on wonderful news!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I've been a long time reader...first time commenter! I'm thrilled for your family! I am a stay at home mom and must say that this is a hotly debated topic everywhere!!! My take..."Different strokes for different folks!". This is not a "One size fits all!" type of thing! If you want to stay home and you can afford it...GREAT...and lucky you! Many can afford it and still want to work. This too is great if it works for your family and it makes you happy. The most important thing is to enjoy the journey...which ever path you take! People spend so much time focusing on the destination that they forget to enjoy the ride. Time goes fast...inhale every breath!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to follow you on this next journey! You are a VERY gifted writer!!!!
Congrats! I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I hope the morning sickness ends soon.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I've been following your blog since before Landon was born and I'm excited to see that there will be a new addition. Best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I just had my first baby this summer (2L summer) and immediately wanted another, can't wait to get pregnant again, but I'm thinking I should get through 3L year first. So excited for you!
ReplyDelete*Jumping up and down!!*
ReplyDeleteWhat great news! So happy for you all!
Congratulations! Hopefully the morning sickness will either calm down or ramp up so much that you can get medicine for it (I personally love Zofran - it is my friend at even 33.5 weeks pregnant some times).
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!! I'm so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! What a wonderful surprise for you and your family! Best of luck to you with the morning (ahem, all-day) sickness. Can't wait to follow you on this fun journey and hear about all the cute things Landon will do with his new sibling - he is so loving, he will be a GREAT big brother! Congrats again!!
ReplyDeleteSuper exciting news, congrats!
ReplyDeletewow - congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! Sometimes you just end up with the best surprises in life.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! That's so exciting
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! I echo the person above who said they don't know you in real life but are still excited!! (I found your blog when a law school friend of mine got pregnant and said "how am I going to do this?" I googled and sent your blog to her, but kept reading for me!)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! We almost had two little ones the same age. I was pregnant but lost it a couple weeks ago. I would have been 4 weeks further than you. Bummer!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!
ReplyDeleteGreat news ... hope you're feeling better soon. And welcome to the whirlwind. :D
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!! I was keeping my pregnancy a secret at work (medium law firm) and had to run out of a conference call (thank God not an actual meeting) to throw up. I had to tell them at about 12 weeks when it wasn't getting better. You'll get through it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of balance tipping, huh!!
Congrats, congrats, congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother lucky kid to have such great parents. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! I love the pictures :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats. Landon will be a great big brother.
ReplyDeleteYAY! Congratulations! That is awesome news. I am now doubly glad for you that you didn't get that plague that the boys got. I can't wait to hear all about the pregnancy.
ReplyDeletewowowowow! that is such great news! i'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeletecongrats!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a great surprise!
ReplyDeleteCongrats from Chi-town! Landon is going to be an awesome big bro!
ReplyDeleteAHHHH!!! So exciting! I think it's so funny how I feel so excited about someone I don't really know in "real life"... I seriously wanted to just squeal. But that would be weird since I am a high-powered attorney and all... And I'm breaking my no-blogging-or-commenting-at-work rule.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations LL!! I can't wait to follow the journey.
Congratulations Liv! I'm so excited for the three of you to become four.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS! We're SO excited for you!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! All of these knocked up bloggers... almost makes me want to go out and do it myself again. Almost.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow---CONGRATULATIONS!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I hope everything goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! What I want to know is, how are you even finding the time to make babies???? ;D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! This is wonderful news!!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLL!!!! I am so excited for you, JP and the Lan Man!! A new baby, new adventures, new memories!! Congratulations, I hope the next 33 weeks fly by with out a hitch and that you have a picture perfect experience with LL baby #2!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!! That's terrific news.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful news! I hope everything goes smoothly with your first trimester. You were extremely helpful in providing baby registry advice for me a few months back, and my four-month-old and I thank you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
I'm so happy for all of you! For some reason, after reading one of your recent entries, I had wondered if you were pregnant :) Keep those crackers close at hand and get some sleep!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Hope the sickness clears up quickly. I'm here to tell you that even if it doesn't, the end result is so worth it! Sending good wishes to you all.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What wonderful news!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations LL!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic news! And, personally (from experience) I think your timing is perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy & healthy pregnancy.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOmigosh!!! Congrats! I can't believe you didn't let that slip last week when we spoke--you've done a great job keeping that quiet. We're going to have our kids close together again--how fun!

Congrats. I know you've been giving a lot of thought to when. Isn't it nice not to have to make a dcecision?
ReplyDeleteFirst time I've commented and: CONGRATULATIONS! Squee!
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting, congratulations! I hope baby #2 takes it easy on you while s/he's baking :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow!!! Congratulations! Hope JP starts to feel better soon so he can support you during the hard first trimester.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you'll be delighted whether blueberry is a boy or girl. Did you know that given that you weren't trying the odds are greater that it will be a girl - something about x chromosome sperm swimming slower but living longer, and the y chromosome sperm swimming faster but dying sooner.
A friend of mine got pregnant as a result of sex 11 days pre ovulation - a surprising but much hoped for daughter after 5 boys.
Congratulations LL!!
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy for you, JP and Landon. While in some ways it will be tougher having two, I can tell you that the undescribable joy and sheer fun of watching your children interact with each other is priceless!
Little Landon is going to be the BEST big brother!! :)
Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteI totally love that t-shirt on the Lanman and his smile is infectious! So happy for you!
