A New Adventure Awaits


Well, we officially went publicly official that I'm pregnant last week. There's a mixture of feelings that come with sharing with the wider circle of friends and family that you're expecting a baby. On one hand, it makes things seem even more real (because at this stage in pregnancy, between the nausea and exhaustion, I still manage to forget that I'm pregnant). On the other hand, all of the congratulatory notes are overwhelming, and I want to hide in a cave the rest of the pregnancy. I'm excited to finally be able to talk about it publicly. I've been holding back baby-related Twitter rants. I wish I had noted them somewhere because I'm somewhat convinced that I'm a hilarious person (okay, I'm the only person who thinks I'm funny, but that's OK, I still get to share whatever the hell I want on my Twitter).

I also want to make sure that we're just as excited for this baby as we were for Ahsoka. It's hard. I'm less anxious in some regards because I've done this before so I somewhat know what to expect overall. But I'm still nervous; mostly about what juggling two kiddos is going to look like, especially early on when Babs is so new and vulnerable. But here's what we shared because we're cool nerds like that.


It's very similar to what we shared when we announced that I was pregnant with Ahsoka, but this time we have a little figure to represent Ahsoka.
