Internet, I'm craving Doritos
I had a sonogram this morning, and everything looks wonderfully normal. The last several weeks have been totally nerve-wracking, and I cannot describe the relief I felt seeing two tiny hands waving about and a steady, rhythmic heartbeat. Due date is June 14th.

Heather talks about public tantrums (from kids) on today's Momversation.
- Bedtime, Leta lingering defiantly in the hallway. Jon: "If you want fart stories, you better get in bed RIGHT NOW."
- RIP Louis Mortimer Armstrong: http://bit.ly/1R4tv6
- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.

931. Shelley said:
Dude, I was so craving Doritos on my way into work this morning. I settled for a bag of Sun Chips instead. That's gotta be good for baby-building, don't you think? (I'm due May 21st.) Congratulations to you! Awesome picture of your poor dog with the pee stick on his nose. :)

Congratuations! My "baby" is 20, how I miss those years. Enjoy every little second of it - it goes way too fast. This is what it's all about. I wish I had taken the time between changing diapers and paying bills to stop and smell the roses (and not the dirty diapers - haha) a few more times!
983. Elizabeth said:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I am so pleased for you both.
984. Grace said:

986. Allison said:
Rockin' HUGE Congratulations!
987. Suz C said:
Congrats!
Is your second child going to receive the same blogging treatment that Leta has? I can only imagine how she'll take to another individual "sharing" her space, and look forward to the stories!

WOO Freakin' HOO!! (as my children would say...and don't get me started on how freakin' is a replacement for the f-word when you're in 6th grade)
992. Amy said:
Congratulations! I am, too, with #2. For me, there is less novelty with #2 but just as much excitement, if that makes sense. Also, my two year old son tells me that he can feel his baby kicking, too. Again, congrats!
993. Kaili said:
I have never commented here but have been reading for years. Huzzah for you and John and Leta and the puppies too. I almost cried when I read that because I was so sad for you when you had the miscarriage, and then I had a 12-week miscarriage and am now expecting on May 4th.
And thanks a lot, I am now craving Doritos. And vitamin water. All the time.
994. Matt said:
Congrats, as someone expecting our second a few months before yours, I'm looking forward to your view as new parents the second time around. Good luck and best wishes for a safe and healthy pregnancy.
995. Bek said:
Congratulations! Now I know for a fact that I read between the lines in a recent post (or it may have been a photo blurp) that I emailed you about. You made a reference that sounded as though you were expecting and WA-BAM there you go. Best wishes to all of you!

Congrats!
I'm expecting my own (a little girl) on 1/28/09. (In fact, I recently went back in your archives to read your labor story with Leta. I needed an honest, unedited view of labor to mentally prepare myself. Thanks!)
1005. Tali said:

I have an almost-3-year-old, and I'm hoping to space a second baby the way Leta and the new baby will be. So I look forward to hearing those stories too :)
Congratulations!

Wow, nice job keeping a secret! My second one has been a giant pain in the heinie compared to #1 but he's still pretty stinking cute. I hope you have a boy, too. Just for balance, of course. And because I want to read your witty observations on the gender gap that I totally didn't think existed when I read all that feminist literature in college.
1025. Katie said:
What exciting news!! I am so happy for you and Jon! Leta is going to be a HYSTERICAL big sister and I can't wait for the stories! Congratulations!

Although, is it at all disturbing that something you've peed on is placed on your dog's nose? no? ha What great news!
1049. Phoo-D said:
HOORAY! That's wonderful news. I've been hoping that you two cool people would bring another spawn into the world...some people just shouldn't have kids. You two on the other hand should have 10. (Okay I'm actually a supporter of replacement level reproduction - keeping it at two, but if anyone was allowed to have 10, it should be you guys.) My thought when I saw the photo...."Chuck better get a BIG hunk of cheese for letting that sit on his nose!"
1050. Nikki said:
I'm going to do the redundant thing here and say CONGRATULATIONS!! That is so exciting! You are so close to the end of your first trimester so things are looking up. =)

You are a fantastic writer and I read every day. I know we would be great friends in real life. Please move to Minnesota! Oh yeah -- back to the baby, BEST OF LUCK!!!

That's wonderful!! I'm so happy for all of you. Especially Chuck. He can now retire in comfort and pass down his tchotchke-balancing duties to someone else. :)

Holy crap! Good job, guys. :)
1112. Christy said:
Congratulations!! I was just wondering about this the other day, you have not mentioned in a while anything about wanting another child, that is usually a tell-tell sign that someone is expecting! I to am expecting my second child, my due date is April 18, it will be an even more fun ride now that I have someone to share it with!! I wish your family all the best!
1113. Jessie said:
A. It is cruel to balance things you have peed-on on Chuck. Save that for Coco
B. Congratulations!!! I am currently reading your archives (Leta is a week old where I am) and I am so happy that I get to go through this preganacy with you. Yay for Team Armstrong!!
1114. The Bold Soul said:
Let me join in with the others to say just how wonderful is this news! I wish you all the best in love and good health as your family grows.
Is there a baby pool as to whether this child look/act more like a Hamilton vs. an Armstrong? Because I'm sure your families are placing bets already.
1115. Jessica said:
Congratulations!!! I'm so thrilled for you and Jon! I just found out on Monday that I'm due July 20th with my first! Eek!

HUZZAH!
This is wonderful news!
I have to admit that I cannot wait to read about Leta's reaction to the new babe!
1118. Robin said:
I saw your most recent tweet and thought, "Could it be? Is Heather pregnant?" then came straight over here for confirmation. So happy for you!
1119. Wheezer said:
Woohoo! Congrats - boy is Leta in for a rude awakening!
1120. Ashley said:
Congratulations! I can't wait to read about the new transition. I am crossing my fingers that you have a relatively neurotic-free pregnancy!

Funny...because I clicked the pickle picture first [usually comes up quicker than the main post] and I was like...DOES THIS MEAN WHAT I THINK IT DOES??? Then I saw the post, and duh... :)
1127. Anonymous said:
Holy Cow! I looked at that picture of Chuck, checked the date, checked it again.
I am so happy for you and your family. You are a bright spot in my workday. I bought the Chuckles calendar and started talking about Chuck like he lived at our house. My husband looked at me like I had been smoking crack. "We have a dog" he said. "why do you need to have pictures of other dogs?". "It's CHUCK" I replied as if that were the only explanation needed. I digress. Good luck with your pregnancy, I will stay tuned.
1128. Erin said:
I was secretly hoping you guys would be trying again...only for the selfish reason that I am expecting my first on May 20th, and how fun to read your pregnancy joys and woes as I go through my own!
Wishing you the best of health and regular bowels!
1129. Kris said:
Is this revenge on Coco? In a year or a little longer, she's going to know what Chuck feels like!
Seriously, though, congratulations on this wonderful, wonderful news. Make John spoil you.
Doritos? How normal of you. I craved PopTarts. Buttered PopTarts. *shudder*

1139. Beth said:
Congrats! I'm also a lurker but just had to say congrats. I'm due June 21st after years of infertility and a miscarriage this summer, so I can imagine the relief you felt when you saw that ultrasound. We just had one last week and I lost it when I saw that heartbeating strong. :) So happy for y'all!
1140. D said:
Congrats! I just had a baby girl on June 12 of this year, and June 14th is my sister's birthday.
It's tough to have a second, and right this minute I'm going through a horrible nursing strike patch, but it is lots more fun the second time. Really, it is!
1141. SueR said:
I have tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. God bless you and your baby. My prayers that you have a joyous and EASY pregnancy and birth!

1158. Missives From Suburbia said:
Congratulations!!
It is strange to get tears in my eyes for a near-total stranger's announcement of her pregnancy, just because I read her blog every day? (That, and I'm sure the fact that I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant has something to do with my raging hormonal state.)
1159. Alli said:
Congratulations! As someone who is also craving doritos, I look forward to your take on the journey.

Let me be the 1160th person to congratulate you! (I'm sure a few of the ones ahead of me are despair, knowing the crowd that just can't quit you.) Gotta wonder what Chuck was thinking as he sniffed that! It's a beautiful thing and I wish you all the best as things go along.
