Hello, internet! What has been going on with me other than crocks of fermentation, you ask? Well, today I met with my department chair and told him that I am pregnant. Having done this, I reckon that there is no point in waiting any longer to tell anyone else, so here is some exciting and highly unexpected news for you, my tens of readers: I'm pregnant!
I thought I'd find this announcement wonderfully freeing, and that I'd have lots to say, but it seems that I'm feeling suddenly shy instead. It is difficult not to be acutely aware of how boring I now have the opportunity to be, not that this has not always been the case.
Meanwhile, the period of prime pregnancy exhaustion has apparently run out while I was keeping things under wraps, so you've missed out on your chance to read the very most thrilling tales of falling asleep in a chair. Try not to be too disappointed. I'll come up with something else just as interesting, I'm sure.
Congratulations!

Great news! Even if you've missed the chance to blog about exhaustion, you may still be able to talk about nausia!

Congratulations! So "fermentation crock" was some kind of 18th-c.-stylee allusion to your own condition? </tasteless>

Thanks, everyone! Maybe now that I have this off my chest, I can relax and feel a bit more natural. I will do my very best to produce the best tasting, most well marbled infant that money can buy.

Dear Red Fox,
Congratulations on your very good news. (I love your dinner reports sidebar, too - this baby is already eating well.)

What's the difference between a fermentation crock and pregnancy? One, if all goes well, results in something that fills the room with irresistible aromas, and the other, if all goes well, results in a baby. HAR HAR HAR.
