Hey guess what?!?

I just thought you would all like to know that the most incredible woman in the world and I...

are PREGNANT!!!

Actually, she is the one who is pregnant...but I helped her get that way! We are super excited about this, so I couldn't wait to let you all know.

Actually, I lied. I could wait. As a matter of fact, we are now working on eleven weeks of this (most of the way through the first trimester) but we wanted to get the first doctor's visit out of the way before we made the official announcement.

Here is what can be expected from this point:

Week 14 - we get our first ultrasound and get to hear the heartbeat.
Week 18 - we get our second ultrasound and get to find out the gender of our progeny.

That will suffice for now.

What's that? Do we have names picked out? Why yes we do:

Boy: Cooper James

Girl: Hannah Jean

So there you go. For now of course, we are calling the baby "lil pea." This is a direct step from the most incredible woman in the world who is known around these parts as the Sweetest Pea (which has developed nicely into the Swedish Pea, or Swedish, and not so nicely into her least favorite, the crusty old swede).

What? The most incredible woman in the world? She's pretty good, just battling daily nausea and fatigue. She is a trooper though and hardly complains at all.

Well, this is our big news, so expect to be tracking this story for a few more months.

God save the Cheese, and his amazing wife, and the lil pea.
