Swear, very loudly, to no one in particular. Call my husband at work. And panic.

Feel overjoyed. But don’t tell my husband that :).
Then I’d immediately start canvassing contractors to come and put a fifth bedroom in the house.

Mark just (jokingly) telephoned to ask me if I’m pregnant. Just make it perfectly clear, I’m not pregnant. :)

be very upset seeing as my husband just got laid off and we are already stressed out enough as it is. Eventually I would come around to the idea, but the news would be less welcome then my previous pregnancies.
Oh, and judging from past pregnancies, I would probably also throw up. A lot.

Call an agent and start the auction for pictures and a book deal. ‘Cos (a) I’m a guy, and (b) I always have been.

Vomit.
When you’re done, you’re done, and I’m definitely done making babies.

…cry. Your post kind of freaks me out because I am worried that I might be because…you know…I have no indication that I am not. And if I was I would have twin boys and a new baby all under the age of one for a few months and that SCARES.ME.CRAZY.
But then, I would hope it was a girl. :)

…be very glad my husband and I have started our renovations now instead of putting them off until next year! :)

be extremely happy and then just a tad diappointed that i won’t be travelling to Dublin in August, but then extremely happy again.

Hmmm. At first be excited but then be worried about John’s reaction. And then freak out a bit. And then be excited again. And then repeat from the beginning.

I’d be happy that trying to time this third baby was out of my hands, but then I would stress because we’d love to NOT be in a 2 bedroom apartment come baby number 3…also I’d love to actually PLAN a child…that has yet to work for us!

If I was to find out, this very minute, that I was pregnant, I wouldn’t know what to think. I’m pretty sure I’d feel scared, shocked, sad, worried, and overwhelmed. I think I would feel a tiny bit of dread too considering I vomited for 35 weeks with each of my girls!!! Oh and I would likely be ticked off that Bert took so long to finally agree to schedule is vasectomy (it’s happening in Feb!!!). Then I think I would feel that it’s meant to be and deal with it…we always wanted three before we had two!

have a lot of explaining to do to my husband who has had a vasectomy and, just to make it more interesting, has just returned from 3.5 months in Afghanistan. But if it could be his through the mysteries of modern medicine, I would be looking forward to nursing the baby-to-be. I miss that part of my life.

Say a prayer of Thanks that Miracles still happen. And be thankful that I still Believe after all I have been through.
21 | Lala
be a bit snowed but accepting. Mom of four doesn’t sound too bad. I think daddy would have a bit of a freak out though.
23 | Shan
I would cry. And want to throw up. And be completely terrified. Then cry some more. Together my husband and I make sick babies.

Completely, totally, utterly, FREAK OUT.
Then probably throw up.
Jake? Love him dearly. The thought of two of him?
SCARY.

The Obligatory Blurb
My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
