My Blog Announcement of the Pregnancy
Creeva on July 2nd, 2008
Normally in the future I plan on posting all pregnancy and parenting stuff here first and move it over to my other blog. However with the announcement of the pregnancy I placed it on my home blog first.
Here is what I posted under the title “I’m Going to be a Father“:
In the picture above is my maternal grandfather and my great grandfather, it seems I am going to be joining on them on the ability to reproduce and pass down genetic material to the next generation. Yes I am going to be a father, Xie want and annouced the pregnancy on Twitter just a few hours ago with the following message:
As of yesterday I am 7 weeks pregnant – coming from the person who would never in a million years want kids, I am very excited & happy
@xielanthia congratulations who is the father……nm
As of yesterday @xielanthia is 7 weeks pregnant and I’m going to be a father – wish us luck – we’ll need it.
So we have announced to the Web 2.0 World (WTW? W2W?) that we are having a baby and doing it in true web fashion. We have known for about 3 weeks and over that time eeked the information out to family and friends. The first person I told was the IPS guys I played SWG with that I have constant e-mail communication with. The first family that knew was my in-laws and followed by Xie’s grandmother (I wish she had a blog i could link to). Then it was ghoulishcharm. From there I told my father and my brother who was also there. I went and told my grandparents last Sunday and drove over to tell my sister, but she already knew it seems that she found out from my father who knew the week before.
I did find out from my sisters that my grandparents had already known about the pregnancy (having heard it through her) but yet they acted like they didn’t know anything. Welcome to my family, we can act surprise even if we have known something for months. I know I used to unwrap my Christmas presents before hand and rewrap them – I got that trick from my godmother.
