Well, I don't want to make a fuss, but if I were interacting with a community in any public forum other than on the Internet it would be blatantly obvious to everyone by now that I'm expecting a baby (I'm due August 10, so I'm just a little past five months). I'm determined not to be boring and talk about this (much) in my blog or elsewhere but every once in a while I'm finding that not mentioning it is like not mentioning the thousand-pound gorilla in the room! So I thought I'd get the announcement out there. I'm feeling great, having no complications other than being generally scatterbrained and distracted and mood-swingy and finding myself literally staring at my belly button (watching for those kicks and punches to poke out of my abdomen like the Alien) instead of working. Which is not meant to excuse my occasionally not being in top form, but which hopefully might explain it...
