Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

KATE! So exciting and scary! I hear kids are a decent way to build community, too, if you're lucky.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Congratulations, Kate!!

I hear kids are a decent way to build community, too, if you're lucky.

Yeah, I'm kind of counting on that! I was telling my mom a while back (before I got pregnant) that I was worried that I'd be really lonely, having a baby in Nashville so far away from our other friends with kids, and she reminded me that when she and my dad moved to the town I grew up in, when I was 2, they didn't know anyone, so she put up a flyer in the library looking for other women to start a "mother's group" with, and almost 30 years later those are still some of her closest friends. So I have hope.

Because books.

So I have hope.

And there are roughly a million more groups already organized these days than there were when you were born. Kids really are an instant way to meet other people.

Congratulations, Kate and good luck, best wishes, and all that stuff!

IOhappyN, can I just say how nice it is to do random acts of kindness and generosity? I mean, I could do them before, it's just so much easier now, and for that I am thankful.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

OMG YAY KATEP!!

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Congratulations Kate!

Just remember, in another year you can avenge your morning sickness by introducing the kiddo to the concept of brussel sprouts!
