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.

Congratulations! I'm really pleased for you. I'm due on 19 June myself, so it'll be fun to compare myself to my make-believe internets date buddy Heather. Good luck and wishing you a safe and healthy pregnancy!

1210. WellasMel said:
This is going to be HYSTERICAL....and I mean that in the most loving - I-adore-the-Blurbodoocery kind of way.
1211. Mary said:
Oh! Oh! Just yesterday I was thinking how funny it is that all my favorite bloggers have been popping out babies while I wait on my own to show up (March 4). Now you too! Yay!
1212. Jodie said:

1214. all things BD said:
Congrats to the nth degree!
1215. Natalie said:
So VERY VERY happy for you and your growing family!! And Leta thought getting COCO was an adjustment. ;) Just kidding - I'm sure she'll be a terrific big sister! :p
1216. Jenifer said:
Congtratulations.
Now I need to report you to the Humane Society for putting a urine soaked stick on Chuck's snoot. (Not really.)
1217. Mrs Kittenhead said:
Wow! That is such groovy news. It brought a smile to my face. Best wishes on your journey with new life.
PS Is Jon strutting around the place like a stud muffin?
1218. Caitlin said:
Long time reader, never a commenter, but had to break the drought. A big congratulations to you!
1219. Julie said:
Congratulations, Heather, Jon, and Leta! (This is possibly the fastest traveling piece of news on the internet, btw. I just got an email from a friend about it. I'm hoping that's not creepy and stalkerish - we're all really happy for you. :))
1220. Scaraah said:
I'm over the moon! And to have Chuckles be the one to deliver the news just made it that much sweeter. Congratulations to you and yours!
1221. Stephanie said:
That's fantastic news! Congratulations! I can't wait to hear about the adventures of having two! When you tell Leta, make sure to tell her I said it's not so bad - I have a younger brother who is one of my best friends.
Congratulations!!!
1222. Katie said:
YAY!!!!!
I'm so happy for you!!!!
1223. Justine said:
Congratulations, wonderful news! But you need to be craving something way weirder than Doritos, surely...
1224. Becky said:
I'm just thrilled for you and your family!
1225. Jamie said:
Leta is going to be such a great big sister! Congrats!

Congratulations!!! I am pregnant as well and will have our baby a month after you! Keep us informed with names, I need ideas!!!
1228. SweetKate said:
Congratulations to you and your family! What absolutely wonderful news!
1229. Tiffany said:
I guess now we know why the Avon World Sales leader was in such a good mood this weekend!
Seriously, I am so happy for you, but this is not going to help with the desire my ovaries have to get themselves fertilized...
1230. Sarah said:
Congratulations! Looking forward to reading the monthly letters to the newest addition to your family. :)
1231. Daina said:
Oh happy day! Congrats.
1232. kat said:
Yaaaaaayy! congratulations!
1233. Elizabeth said:
For God's sakes, I don't even know you, and there are tears of joy in my eyes. The internets have this effect, I guess. Congratulations.
1234. Michelle said:
Yippeee! I am tearing up with joy for you & Jon. Congratulations!!!
1235. Gigi said:
Woot! Congrats! I'm so happy for you!
1236. gesikah said:
I knew it! Congratulations!
(Sorry for the over-use of exclamation points!)
1237. griffit1 said:
Congratulations!
I, like some of the other people commenting, was born on Flag Day, and I think it is a great day to be born. Always very near Father's Day. Having a summer birthday means you get left out of school celebrations as a kid, but I think it is nice to be born on a non-celebrated "holiday".
Best wishes!
1238. Bree said:
Heather- Congratulations! I had a miscarriage recently (our babies would have been born around the same time) and it is wonderful to hear about successful pregnancies following a loss. Thank you for lifting my spirits. Take good care of yourself and that growing baby!
1239. Jamie @ Sticky Feet said:
Congratulations!! :) I can't wait to follow your journey through another pregnancy. We will be starting to try for #2 in January.
1240. anne said:
EXCELLENT news! This made my day (is that weird??)
1241. Manda said:
AHHH! I am so excited for you and Jon and Leta! Now get that pee stick off your dogs nose!

I hope you have a miscarriage. Are you going to give birth to another "special" troll child like Leta?

FANTASTIC!!!
1246. Liz said:
Congrats!
I have been a daily reader since Leta was a baby but have never commented before. I really, really enjoy your work.
1247. Tracy said:
Many Many Congratulations to you guys! Heather, I couldn't be more excited for you if you were my own sister! Need any support, just give us a holler. We're all here for you. Hurray!
1248. malie said:
I'm so glad you opened the comments on this one so we could all throw our support at you! Congratulations. :)
1249. jenny said:
Wow! Congratulations! I am looking forward to reading about the new baby!
1250. Angela said:
Congratulations Heather! I am so happy for you! It took me a minute to focus in on what is on Chuck's nose. I hope you'll share with us really soon how far along you are and baby names and all of that. This is the best news I've seen all day!
p.s. my captcha that I had to type in said "slender american." weird.
1251. Liz said:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1252. Nicole said:
Well, you needn't have worried, Heather. Everyone I know (now including you, whom I know in the internet sense) is due within 2 weeks of each other around the beginning of June. So you actually had nothing to do with this (or any power to screw it up), as the universe has planned some kind of huge cosmic baby boom to land this summer.
Seriously, Congrats! So thrilled for you.
ps: Let's hope the plan is benevolent for this impending army of babies....
1253. Terri said:
Congratulations Armstrong's!
Can't wait to read Leta's reaction to the news!
What a beautiful time to have a baby!
1254. MJ said:
That's great news. Seriously great news.
1255. hopelds said:
That's fantastic! My daughter didn't believe me either until her daughter was born, but the second one is a lot easier than the first.
Thanks for your blog - we love it!
1256. Tamara said:
like everyone else says:
Whoo Hoo! Congrats! May the pregnancy go swimmingly! (and everything that happens after, too)
1257. Wendy said:
Hooray! Hooray! I'm so happy for you and your family.
1258. Cathy said:
I'm so stinkin' happy for you! When will you tell Leta?
1259. Kate said:
Oh that's so exciting!! Congrats!!
1260. Dawn said:
I already wished you congratulations in an earlier comment -- congratulations again, though -- and now that the Daily Chuck photo is up:
It's as if they are listening to you telling them what's going on and what will be coming soon... Chuck's expression seems like he's thinking "I see, I see..." (but none too thrilled) and Coco's expression is like she's thinking, "Oh my Gaaaawd, like THIS isn't exhausting enough, woman????"
1261. Elizabeth Q. said:
This news absolutely makes my day! So excited for you all.
Just became a regular reader last spring after the birth of my 1st child..... looking forward to being a part of your life as your family grows, yet again. What does Leta think?
Congratulations and thanks for keeping me laughing and thinking while I sling diapers to and fro!
1262. Cara said:
Congratulations!!
And that's my birthday, so a happy future Flag Day (what, you didn't know it was a holiday?) to Dooce-Jr.-to-be
1263. Jane Duncan said:
Heather, in the event you really do read all 1251 comments that precede mine, allow me to chime in "oh Honey!!!! Congratulations!!!" (I hope you can hear what the tone of my voice was when I actually said that outloud upon reading the post)
1264. Deirdre Jean said:
Congratulations, Heather! I never post, but I'm just so happy for you, Jon, and Leta. She's going to be an awesome big sister. I just know it.
Hugs, Deirdre
1265. Daxohol said:

Awesome news!
1266. Amanda said:

1267. Becky said:
Oh my Lordy Lord! Did everybody know about this but me? Congratulations!
1268. Meg said:
Yay! Congratulations! I have a 6 month old and just got my first full night's sleep in over a year last night, so I don't envy you. Can't wait to read about Leta as a big sister!
1269. Tater's Mom said:

Congratulations! My second is due June 29. So it will be awesome to "share" the experience. At least I know I'll get some good laughs along the way. And so far, so good. Not so much time head-in-toilet this time! I wish you a wonderful, healthy, easy pregnancy. Congratulations again.
1272. jennifer said:

1286. Tanya said:
I KNEW it! I've been telling my daughter for WEEKS that I thought you were pregnant. CONGRATS!!! When I saw the comment that said "two little hands" I mis-read it and thought it said "two little heads" and was all HOLY CRAP, TWINS????????? I know, I know, some interrogative is running around without a punctuation mark because I used up today's limit.

1293. Amanda said:
I was watching momversation last night and you said something about "childREN" and I was all, "Either that was just a brain fart or a VERY BIG SLIP!" Saw Twitter and then went straight to your site to confirm. Congratulations!

Your honesty and courage gives me daily strength for my own battles. Thank you.
1298. Jen said:
You know, it's funny...just yeaterday, after reading your post, I was wondering if you were planning on having a second child or if Leta was it. Congratulations!!! Be well!
1299. Suzanne said:

Congrats to you!
I don't know if I want kids yet, but reading your posts makes me feel like it would actually be possible bc you are doing it and sharing the everyday struggles and small joys and reminding us that you can still be cool and weird and have a personality and a life apart from being a parent.
1315. the park said:
OMG!!!! Go Blurb! Go Dooce! You guys rock! Literally :~}
Congratulations--although I never understood the need to show people an object they peed on.
Love to you both and Leta and Chuck and Coco.

1330. Melissa said:
GREAT NEWS. Terrific terrific terrific!
Can't wait until Leta reads her princess books to the baby. My favorite sight in the world is of a kid reading, but a kid reading to a younger sib--that might be even better.
1331. Karen said:
Awesomeness.

1339. Jenn said:
Congrats Congrats Congrats!
Good think the pee stick has a top on the pee part. Or Chuck would have to get extra treats for that.
Then again, his sister eats poop so I guess he might be okay with human urine.
1340. Cate said:
Congrats! I just found out that I'm pregnant too... but you're about 6 weeks ahead of me. I can't wait to read the next 8+ months of Dooce.com, as it will, no doubt, closely mirror how I am feeling and what I am thinking!
1341. Keri said:
Congratulations! That is wonderful news!
I look forward to pregnancy posts - the archived posts from your pregnancy with Leta have kept me laughing out loud throughout my own pregnancy!
Best of luck, I hope Leta gets that little sister she was requesting/demanding! ;)

1346. Sara said:
I'm so envious! We've been trying to get pregnant since I miscarriaged a little over a year ago. I guess we'll just have to wait a little longer.
In the mean time, congratulations!
1347. Kim said:
Congratulations to you and the entire family =)
I have to share my thought with you b/c it is just too strange. I read your site every day and for the last few weeks I have had a feeling that maybe you are pregnant; I dont know if it is how you have been writing or what you have been writing about - but something put that thought in my brain.
I am due on May 19th and think it is an absolute miracle to bring a child into the world.
Well, congrats again.
Cheers (with apple juice) to Obama babies =)
Kim
1348. Megan said:
Congratulations # 1344 (or something)! :) Yay yay yay! That is such happy news. :)
1349. Robyn said:
Congrats! You're due exactly 10 days before I am!
And I have to tell you, its your stories of dealing with depression and having Leta that let me finally believe I could handle it as well. And I more or less am.
So here's to healthy babies for both of us!
1350. Tammy said:
congrats to you both and the very lucky big sister
1351. Mallory said:
This, along with the cupcake I'm eating right now, made my day! Congratulations!
1352. Margie said:
Awwwwwww! Happyhappyhappy.
Now comes the advice - lay on your left side, the baby gets more blood that way. It turns out we're not symmetric inside. Who knew.

Is is weird and creepy that I'm excited for you like you're my bff? Congratulations! Wow, Leta is going to be a big sister! Are you going to write monthly newsletters to your new baby like you did for Leta? Maybe you can count her life in weeks...minutes maybe? I'm so excited...and may I suggest the name Sabrina if you have a girl?:) It's worked quite well for me over the years:)
1359. Kim H. said:
YAHOO!!!! I'm so excited for you. June is a great month to have a baby. My firstborn was born on June 21st!!!!

I hope someday to travel to Utah and drink some whiskey with you because I think you're awesome. Congratulations on the exciting news and I wish you a safe and easy pregnancy. And congratulations also to Jon, Leta, Coco, and Chuck. I hope they are all excited!

What a great Christmas gift.
Oh, and you guys drank sparkling grape juice on election night! Total giveway, oops Jon.

1380. Fashion Paramedic said:
*Screaming* Woo hoo!!! I am so happy for you!
But, peeing on a stick and then putting it on Chuck's nose? Am I the only one who thought that to be icky? :)
1381. SilverPoet said:

1385. Brent said:
Oh my GOD congratulations! I'm so happy for all of you.
1386. Erika said:
Congratulations! I love your blog and read every day. I was actually just thinking about you and your baby type stuff the other day (I *may* have been sitting on the toilet but I MAKE NO PROMISES) and wondered about the status of things... I am very, very happy for you. You are clearly a wonderful mother and you deserve all the best!
1387. Elizabeth said:
Congratulations! I'm due in April, and very much remember how nerve wracking those first few weeks were, wondering if everything was going to be OK. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the age difference between your kids, how you think Leta will react and deal with a sibling, how easy or hard it is for you to start all over with an infant, etc. The age difference between my kids will be 4.5 years, not much less than the age difference between yours.
1388. Karen (Misc Mum) said:
Congratulations! Very happy for all of you!
1389. Write Softly said:
I am SOOOOO happy for you. Leta will make an excellent big sister. And Coco can help you dispose of diapers better than any Diaper Genie.
Congratulations.
1390. JachiCue said:

CONGRATS, Heather and family...
I love how you decided to tell us internets...
1397. Christie said:
Wow! Congratulations. I read you every day during morning coffee. I'm really happy for you. My little two-pink-lines, waving embryo is now a year old. It's the most amazing thing, isn't it? And you get to experience it again! I'll look forward to sharing in your happiness. :)

1402. Hilary said:
I have been reading for about a year and only commented when you were giving away the Wii. :) I think you are a very funny and talented writer. You have a gift for making normal, every day events hilarious and interesting. I am looking forward to reading about your life in the upcoming months, particularly since I am considering having a second baby (not sure if it is in the cards though).
Anyway, congratulations and here's hoping you have an easy pregnancy!
1403. Erin said:
Congratulations!
I saw the picture of Chuck and I thought, wow, that looks a lot like a ... *GASP*!! :)
Yeah, I'm a little slow on the uptake.
Oh, and I would love to know how many metric tons of Doritos arrive at your doorstep because of the publicly posted craving.
So very, very happy for you.
Congratulations again.
1404. M said:

So happy for you and your family. When I read this post I ran to my co-worker's office (today's her due date, we're both avid readers of yours) and we squealed together.
I wish the best for you and this beautiful new child you're bringing into this world!
1407. Haley said:

1413. Monica said:
Chuck looks overjoyed with the news.
Congrats!
1414. Erin said:
I've been reading blogs for too long to even feel ashamed about the fact that, when I read this, I teared up a little. Yes, I teared up over the pregnancy of someone I've never met. But who cares? I'm so so so happy for you, Jon & Leta.
Congratulations and best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy! :D
1415. andrea said:
Such happy news Heather! What a blessed little baby :-)
1416. Diane in NC said:

1422. Abby said:
Ahhhh! Congratulations! I am SO excited for you, and your WHOLE family! I just had my first, a daughter, Ava, two weeks ago tomorrow and I get even more excited for expectant mothers now that I know all the emotion that comes with a new baby.
I hope that you have a healthy, joyous, and easy pregnancy! I hope you have an even easier delivery!
1423. Therese said:

1426. JennyOH said:
I know you will probably never read comment 2314234235 or whatever I'm on, but yay congratulations! I was supposed to be born June 14th but arrived on June 4th instead; now my own benevolent ovumlord is due June 3rd. Good time to be born!
I am actually disappointed I haven't had any crazy food cravings. I've wanted a perfectly crisp apple for a while but that is usual for the fall since I left New England.
1427. Candace said:
So happy for you Heather! (And Jon!) (And Leta!) (And Chuck and Coco) (And the fish... whose name I forget)
Congrats!!!
1428. Hannah said:
I am SO HAPPY for you... I've been hoping and hoping. I'm also jealous, very jealous. All the best and brightest wishes to your family.
1429. Rebecca Maples said:
Congratulations, I'm wishing you an easy pregnancy, and birth. Babies truly are great blessings!
1430. Lisa said:
Holy bread in the bread basket! Congrats!
I swore off your site until after the election...with my own raging 1st trimester hormones I just couldn't get my blood pressure down after reading.
I'm soooooooooo happy I came back!
1431. Julie said:
great news!! funny to read this on your blog as i had a scan today too and am at exactly the same stage as you - fun stuff :) hope you're feeling well!
1432. Keppy said:
YAY!!! I'm so happy for you guys!!!!
1433. Sheryl said:
That's wonderful! Best best best wishes to all you Armstrongs!
1434. Toni said:
I would normally say congratulations, but then I'd feel like a copycat :-P
You know I (and the rest of your faithful (stalkers) ahem...readers :-D ) wish you and Jon the best...
...and hope that Leta and Coco can handle the enormity of the situation. :) And if Chuck wants to go on vacation when your new addition arrives, New Jersey is not that far and with his accent, he'd fit in here perfectly :-D
Now, when the baby is born Leta can read Princess Stories to the baby and you could just relax with a good bottle of bourbon :-D
I hope your pregnancy is stress-free...well at least for you. Give Jon my sympathy :)
Much love & best wishes to all of you...
1435. Amy G. / Super Woman said:
Congratulations to you, Jon and Leta, and best wishes for a healthy baby when all is said and done. :)
1436. Moya Z said:
Congratulations!
Don't share any names with anyone, or you will have the entire world telling you about the terrible boy named Robbie who beat them up in the 2nd grade, or the little girl Monica who always peed her pants...
Be ready for something interesting to be growing in Leta's tummy - my Sophia (1 month younger than Leta) had a squirrel in her until it too found the "door"
1437. Meg said:
Whoot!!!!
So happy for you!
1438. TheGingerCat said:
Whoah! I read you basically every day and Chuck usually wakes me up - in a pic, luckily, not live - and well, don't know if it means everything, but I am Really Happy for You! Happy and healthy pregnancy!
1439. Bess said:
Wonderful news! Congrats, Heather (and Jon & Leta)! Yay!
1440. Amanda said:
Heather, congratulations! Best wishes to you and your family.
1441. Poop and Cheerios said:
I'm not usually a commenter, but I am an avid reader of your blog. I remember your ruminating on whether or not you could put yourself thru all of this again, and I remembered thinking how badly you seemed to genuinely want it and that I hoped it would all work out.
Congratulations, and I hope you have a happy, healthy pregnancy :-)
Mazel Tov!
1442. binkytown said:
Whhoooooooooo. Saw your tweet and was wondering. Awesome. Just had my second. It's better than I thought possible.
1443. kniquii said:
This is completely obvious (and seriously anticipated) news for people who follow your website. My roommate said over a month ago "Something is up. Her posts aren't as interesting or as frequent. I bet she's pregnant again." What a humongous relief.
1444. Bridget said:
Congratulations! What exciting news for you and your growing family!
1445. Claire said:
Congratulations Heather -- how exciting. June 2nd babies are great :) xx
1446. Ev said:
Yeehah! And no better way to introduce the good news than with a special balancing act by Chuck!
1447. Anna said:
Congratulations Heather! I'm very happy for you and your family - I've been a reader for the past 6 months and have been hopeful you would get pregnant again!
Take care - hope you pregnancy goes well,

1471. Hollie said:
OMG - that is wonderful news! Congratulations!!!!
1472. Lindsey Joy said:
I've been following your story ever since I began law school two years ago.
This afternoon as my incredibly slow browser was loading your site on one of the computers at school (aside: where do my astronomical tuition dollars go?) I had a flutter of hope that you were going to share important news. Like, for example, "Yo dudes, I'm creating life!"
And you are. And you did.
(here is an imaginary delivery of Doritos)
Deepest joy to you and Jon and Leta as you anticipate...
1473. Jennifer P said:
Wonderful news, and a wonderful way to announce it! Little does Chuck know what is in store... I agree with a poster above who says that June babies rock :-)
1474. erika said:
