Official Post


As you so astutely guessed, Mr Bob and I have decided that our genes are much too valuable to not be passed on, so we are now expecting LMKB (Little Miss Kicky Bump). In accordance with my extremely strong Christian views, her due date is Christamas and we likely call her Jesus.
If any of you feel that possibly I am a bit late in mentioning this, let me also say that most of our parents just found out last month, due to a combination of juggling trips back and forth to Boston, wanting to get all the medical stuff sorted out and Bob just being slightly scatterbrained.
I am on my final trip to Boston and am currently packing up my desk (sniff) and finishing up in the lab before heading home to Canada for good.

Lol Bob! Thanks for giving us a few weeks notice so we can get busy knitting little booties. You know, for those of us who know how to knit.

Jesus is a nice name.

Do you think it should be Jesusa because it's a girl?

Or would Messiah be neutral enough?

I am partial to Mary.

YOu? Look ravishing!
I won't tell Coco.

Thanks!
Actually, my grandma's name is Mary, so it (or a variation) is actually in the running.

MaryZombie is a lovely variation.

Jesusa sounds like some sort of strange, patriotic team chant.
Jeez!U!S!A!
Jeez!U!S!A!

I was going to suggest Mary but I'm glad I didn't so MarydeZombie could do it herself.

I'm just gonna hang out here the next couple of months and drink wine with dark chocolate.

From my blog back when I was pregnant:

Bobdechemist says "Pregnant women are such whiners."

 
At 10:54 AM, Blogger Zombs said...

Oh yeah, make sure you save the placenta! I hear Coco whips up something with it!

I think Zombie may need to be banned. To say I miss drinking would be an understatement. I miss hangovers (not anything nasty, I just liked the lounge in bed until early afternoon drowsi-comfiness).

All the parents are laughing at me now, aren't they?

Because I never get to lounge in bed until the afternoon again, do I?

Unless I sell the kid on ebay.

 
At 12:53 PM, Blogger Zombs said...

Yes Bob... you are correct. I'm waiting until they are teenagers.

 
At 3:58 PM, Blogger Puffy said...

Wow, you really are pregnant. Very pregnant. And beautiful. However, I can't believe that you waited this long to tell us!

 
At 3:59 PM, Blogger Puffy said...

By the way, you have a small tush.

 
At 4:17 PM, Blogger Jennifer said...

Congratulations! I swear something is going on this year. It's overwhelming the amount of pregnant people I've come across! Don't let Zombs freak you out, but as the date approaches you must let us know if your cervix has a dimple in it. Mine did a few weeks before I was due.

 
At 5:31 PM, Blogger Aislinn Sirk said...

Yes, puffy I really am pregnant. I'm still not quite used to it. I was getting off the train yesterday and had to squeeze between a stroller and the wall, so I turned sideways.

It didn't work very well. It turns out I am not skinnier in that direction.

*ignores tush comment*

When your cervix smiles, the whole world smiles with you!

*smiles*

Congratulations!

Is the manger all ready? I'll have to mail order the myrrh for your baby gift since it tends to be in short supply around the holidays.

I'm knitting you a cervix cozy. Do you like pink?

 
At 12:10 PM, Blogger Zombs said...

*pours another glass of pinot noir*

 
At 3:15 PM, Blogger Puffy said...

I think Bob would like some "Pinot More."

 
At 11:31 PM, Blogger Asrai said...

You look gorgeous, woman!! Congrats on the news!!! I'll be back for lots of updates! And dark chocolate. And wine!

Wow! Congratulations Bob!

I'm very happy for you. And I will take on your drinking responsibilities until you are back to your self.

OMH! Yay!
You look so cute with your baby bump.

Why go with Jesus? I'd go straight to GOD.

 
At 4:13 PM, Blogger Jen said...

A woman named Bob, giving birth to a girl named Jesus. Yep, sounds about right.

Congrats! You're due in like a month! That's crazy!

*drinks in Bob's honor*

Congrats to you and Mr. Bob on your little Bobbette Jesusa.

 
At 8:19 PM, Blogger Breezy said...

Wow! So sorry I didn't check here earlier.

Congrats!

 
At 4:51 PM, Blogger kevingrout said...

Yay! (a bit late to the party).

Congrats Bob. I haven't read the other responses yet, but I think Bob Jr. is a good name.

Wow. You're one step closer to world domination now.
