I made my second trip to the doctor this past Wednesday. We didn't get any new pictures but we did get to hear the baby's heartbeat. That was very cool.
Since he said everything was going well and it is about the end of the first trimester, we decided to start letting our friends and family know why Janelle has been so...well, let's just say guarded for the last little bit.
Everyone has been super and very excited for us. My two favorite reactions were the Browns and the Feldmans. (Although an honorable mention goes to both Allison Russell for repeating, "This is not Dave's. Hartman, this is yours" to the ultrasound picture, and to the team of Carrie Collett and John Parker for saying, "Oh God...someone left their ultrasound picture here," when they ran across it during happy hour.)
Stephanie Brown had just taken a bite of chips and salsa when Janelle announced, "I'm pregnant." Stephanie started choking on the chip, and we thought we were going to have to do the Heimlich on her. I know us being pregnant is a surprise to a lot of people, but we didn't think anyone would literally get choked up.
When we broke it to the Feldmans, it was pure entertainment. Mary went running in one direction, and Bobby in the other. Mary returned saying, "I knew it! I knew it!" She handed us a card that she had already made with a cute stuff about us adding another to our family. Bobby returned form the garage with a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne they had bought for when we told them. Evidently, this had been an ongoing conversation for a month of so, and Janelle is officially a bad liar. It was all too funny.
Thanks to everyone for being so supportive during this exciting -- and nervous -- time in our lives. For those of you with little ones now, thank you for all the answers to questions that are sure to come over the next few months.

A blog to document the pregnancy huh? Very chic; it's cool that you all are letting your friends and family in on this. Enjoy "blogging" now, b/c when the "little Kitchen" arrives, good luck finding time to write anything (except those checks for childcare)! The offer to videotape the birth is still open; remember, I did take your wife to her junior high dance. Ha!Ha! I hope to see you all soon brotha'.
ok, so the comment "too early to know anything about sex" is obviously false since you two are having a child. good work on getting lucky!
Hey Guys!
I checked my myspace and saw the bulletin directing this way and had to check things out...congratulations!! What a wonderful, scary, fabulous time in your lives. Janelle--the sense of smell thing is a bitch. Just wait 'til the out of body experiences begin...like maybe one day you'll catch yourself throwing something at David and threatening to leave him because he drank all the lemonade...but you don't care. Or wait, maybe that happened to me...either way, great luck!
