I’m Pregnant
May 13, 2009
So I’m pregnant.
It’s true. I swear. I wouldn’t lie about this.
I was planning on waiting the obligatory 12 weeks to tell you, but you need to know.
Because I can’t keep it a secret anymore.
Because I’ve already gained 5 pounds.
5 POUNDS!!
And you’re smart, you’d figure it out anyways. You’d be all like, Beckey, wow. You either went off the Atkins or your pregnant. And I’d say, I was never on the Atkins. And then you’d be all, PREGNANT!! And jump around and point your sinewy finger at me.
But I’m only 8 weeks along.
I was at the doctor’s office today, and I was reading this chart thing, and it said to gain between 3-4 pounds in your first trimester. It said it is the healthy thing to do. It said that you should also eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables. I said fuck that. I said, I need a crunchy taco from the Del.
And a red burrito.
And a cherry Pepsi.
Thank you.
I have 4 more weeks until my first trimester is over.
SHIT.
So I’m trying to eat healther. And do more yoga. And enjoy what it’s like to just have Berlyn. Because things are going to get a whole lot more chaotic.
And aside from being pretty scary, it’s also pretty grand.
And we’re really hoping,
if it’s a boy…
because the baby is coming at Christmas time…
to name him Jesus.

I was sipping tea (because I have no voice from a cold) when I read that last line and it cracked me up so much that I almost spewed tea everywhere. And it would have made more sense to my onlooking co-workers as to why I sporadically drooled some tea just now if I could laugh, but I absolutely have no sounds coming out of my mouth today. I’m like a walking Charlie Chaplan movie.
Anyway, so yeah, great post. Oh yeah, and congrats!!

I don’t deserve to know you…you are too amazing!!!
Needless to say, us Mattson’s are pretty excited that another Brumfield is on the way…us Mattson’s REALLY like Brumfields! 
Remember that happy dance and monstrous SQUEEEEEEEE I let out at the park the other week? Well, I’ve pretty much been doing that non-stop. So, so excited for you, Pat, Berlyn, and myself, naturally, ’cause I love me some babies.

Whoa. Dude. Awesome. And, Jesus? Heh. Cool.
Yeah, we thought of Jesus too. Teachers would see his name on the role sheet and say, “aw, how sweet and racially thoughtful of them to name their son Jesús.” and we’d be like, “Nope. No. It’s Jesus. As in the Son of God.”
I like it, go for it.
And another CONGRATS!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!! And gain all the weight you want you skinny little thing! It will make the rest of us feel better about ourselves!
So this is very weird timing because this afternoon, while I was online buying 6 pairs of Baby Legs (at 50% off!) I was thinking of you because I remember Berlyn wearing them, and then I thought, I wonder if Beckey and Pat want another baby…..I should ask….but that might be rude…..so I’ll just have to wait and see. And then this! I am SO happy for you! And glad you didn’t wait the obligatory 12 weeks. GO JESUS!

That is so great! Bring on the Del! Let Jesus get a taste for it now, so when he is of age to eat solids, you can be sure that he will enjoy the wonder that is Del Taco with you!

Congratulations!!!! I super excited. I know I won’t be drinking any of the water
Yay! And if it’s a girl you should name her Wyoming just to spite all those readers you don’t have.

Congratulations! I found your site from your husband’s site. Seems he thinks your hysterical (which is great that he appreciates your humor). I’m gonna go checkout the items on your site…
Good luck with your pregnancy.
