New Housemate

Penny is pregnant. Baby is due 13 January 2010. Daniel is going to have a sister or brother—we won’t know which until the day; he says it’s a girl.

Here’s a picture of the spark from the ultrasound on Wednesday:

Legs crossed. Thumb-sucking. Heartbeat like a large dog panting.

I say “we’re pregnant” to obvious consternation. Previously Penny was not pregnant, and obviously I was not pregnant. Now Penny is pregnant, and I am not as I was. I may not be pregnant like her, but as her partner I am dramatically transformed.

Penny is morning sick. We are healthy. We are happy.
