Internet, I'm craving Doritos
I had a sonogram this morning, and everything looks wonderfully normal. The last several weeks have been totally nerve-wracking, and I cannot describe the relief I felt seeing two tiny hands waving about and a steady, rhythmic heartbeat. Due date is June 14th.

- RIP Louis Mortimer Armstrong: http://bit.ly/1R4tv6
- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.
- Our fish just died. And I'm sitting here crying. And it wasn't even my fault!

Congratulations on such wonderful news. I've never left a comment before, but this clearly deserves it. Your blog is a source of constant amusement and work-procrastination. And as I'm trying to get preggers with my second, I'm already looking forward to reading about your upcoming seven months.

Congratulations. How much pee got on chucks face as you tried to hit the pregancy test stick?
610. Taco said:
So you think a kid would finally provide you with something to write about then?
Aaaaanyway....

Congratulations! Very happy for you all!
(I wonder if the Chuck-Coco sequence is getting a human equivalent here ...)

I might be a little biased toward June babes, seeing as how June 15th! is my birthday, but summer birthdays really are a particularly sunny shade of awesome. Congratulations!

615. Meghan said:
Hot Damn! That is fan-fucking-tastic news!
Love it.
(And, I had the weirdest dream this morning where I was pregnant and could feel the baby moving around. . . but I am no where ready for a baby. Soooo, thank god I had that dream, but YOU are the one preggers!)

Such a bitch to get a dog to pee on that tiny stick. Congrats on a huge accomplishment!

Congratulations! That is wonderful. May you have smooth sailing from here on out.
620. Tara said:
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so happy for you! (I tried responding with a sharp intake of breath on reading the news, but I think I have bronchitis right now, and, well, that wasn't such a good idea. . .)
621. Leticia said:

Yay! I don't think I've ever been so happy for someone having a baby who I don't even know! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
625. Lindsay said:
Ohmygod! Super good news. I wonder if Leta is pissed? She'll probably just bury the baby under her books and princess garb.
Cheers!

Congratulations! Oh wow oh wow oh wow, this is so exciting. My friend also just found out her baby is happy, healthy, and 3 months safe after a nasty miscarriage about a year ago. Such a hard time, but so much joy to follow when you finally see those hands and that heartbeat!
I am so happy for all of you. All the best in the coming months!

Wa-hoo!! Congrats!
635. Christine said:
Yay! Congrats! My kids are over four years apart too and I LOVE IT.
636. MedFrau said:
Do you think Chuck could tell by the scent of the pregnancy test that you are pregnant? It's right by his nose, after all. You know animals can sometimes sense that...
637. Jen said:
Wooooo! Congratulations!
638. Perksofbeingme said:
Congrats! I know I'm probably commenter number 982,546 but I still want to say congrats and Leta will be a great big sister. Oh, how I wish I could be a fly on the wall of your house and several months. Good luck and keep us updated. It's the closest thing to being there.

Wowzers! How'd ya do that? Oh, never mind... the important thing is that Leta is going to be a BIG sister. I bet she's excited (or will be) over that. So much fun and excitement just waiting to happen. Give Jon a slap on the back or a kick in the pants (your choice) from all of us.
Ya did good!!

669. Hayley said:
So, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is compelled to tell the people in her life how happy I am for a woman I've never metm, that lives on the other side of country, whose blog I obsessivly read, because she is expecting.
To Heather, John and the rest of the clan, congrats!!
To the other commentors: Thanks for making me feel like I'm not crazy. :P

675. Nikki said:
Fantastic news!
676. WaltzInExile said:
P.S. What manner of Dog Whisperer technique allows you to put a stick that you peed on on Chuck's snout, anyway? Did you have to share your Doritos? or is he really a robot?

699. tropicalpopsicle said:
I was wondering about that! In your latest momversation video you said something about having children, then you corrected yourself to say "having a child." That caught my attention and then my mind started wandering. Congratulations! I'm very excited for all you Armstrongs!
700. Jenny said:
Hooray! Heather this is delightful news. It's amazing how you can bring joy and excitement who don't even know you personally. I'm truly happy for you!

I've never commented before, but I've been reading your blog for a few years. I recently found out that I'm pregnant and should be due about two weeks after you! A few days ago I read all of your posts from when you were pregnant with Leta and found that, so far, our experiences in first pregnancy are similar.
Anyway, enough about me: congratulations!!

I recently graduated from college, started working in a big city, and now I'm sort of a grown-up which means my job is so boring it feels like I have a permanent popsicle brain freeze. One of my internet savvy girlfriends sent me the link to your website and now I read everyday- the first post I read was about you running with coco teaching her how to chase sheep. I read it at work and tried to muffle my laughter by loudly hitting the space bar and pretending to blow my nose, but it didn't work and my boss looked at me funny and I had to stop reading. BUT I COULDN'T STOP and I kept torturing myself because I wanted to laugh but I couldn't... torture! I read everyday, and since the election is over and my job has slowed down (I work for the good side...) I have taken to reading the archives. I started the Leta archives today and have already cried twice and now you're having another one!!! I can't wait! Best wishes! Thank you for writing!

It's odd being so elated for a complete stranger, but I am. Congratulations to the blurbdoocery family!
731. Amy said:
Heartfelt congratulations! I hope all goes well for the duration. We had a very early m/c of a happy accidental pregnancy back in '06 when we were newlywed and more careless than careful. Haven't yet tried again due to financial concerns - can't wait until it won't be irresponsible of us to really go for it. We'll continue to live vicariously through your storytelling for now. As always, thanks for sharing with us!

Oh my gosh, CONGRATULATIONS!
Had you mentioned this already or was this the grand reveal?
Anyway, it doesn't matter, I'm babbling because I'm excited for you. Is it icky that I'm this excited about the pregnancy of a woman I've never met? Probably. Oh well, you've let me read about so many intimate details about your family that I feel like it's ok for me to be thrilled. And so, I'm THRILLED for you. Leta is going to make such a wonderful big sister.
740. Liz said:

743. Tiffany said:
I'm so happy for you and so proud of you for trying again. I know how brave you need to be to not give up.
I suffered two miscarriages and lost a 7 month old daughter after she caught a virus and a 3 day old son when he was misdiagnosed by a small town doctor that thought he had everything under control. So I know about loss.
Anyway, I now have a beautiful 5 year old daughter and a wonderful 3 year old son. I am so glad that I never gave up on having a family. Actually Leta reminds me so much of my Sophia. They would be trouble together.
Congratulations! I think you're a great Mom. Sending positive thoughts your way.

Holy Crap! I've been craving Doritos for the last week, so when I saw that headline in my google reader, I started to say out loud (to precisely no one)"Heather and I are on the same page right there." But then I opened the whole post and saw the pregnancy test and broke out into a cold sweat because, as happy as I am for you. . . that is NOT what I want my doritos craving to be about!
Congratulations. . .and to echo all the rest: may it be smooth sailing and a very uneventful pregnancy!

Amazing news - congratulations! Our first two were born on the exact same day (and year). My second son's birthday is 6/16 so you're almost on track to make it 2-for-2. Best wishes!

794. Amanda said:
I kept wondering when you'd add a brother or sister for you darling little girl!
Congrats!!!!
795. Amanda said:
I am SO HAPPY for you. and super excited about how you're gonna make all the rest of our ovaries hurt for AT LEAST a year (for me, probably more like two).
I was secretly thinking about you and sending good thoughts to your uterus, too. :)
Want us to ship you Doritos? If each of the people reading ships you a bag a day, you'd be covered for, like, 18 kids! ;)
796. Rebecca said:
yay! congrats! my due date is 6/2. it will be fun to read you write about your pregnancy.
797. Tanya said:
YAY! Congratulations, blurbodoocers! I am so glad you are bringing another awesome human into the world!

Congratulations Heather, Jon and Leta (and the puppies of course)!!!
801. Jen - The Alien spouse said:
Oh! That is such good news, Congratulations!
And, now you mention it, Doritos sound like a damn fine idea; but in my case that's just Wednesday talking, not a brand new little human.

Wow, congratulations! I've read your blog for so long now that your stories are a part of the regular conversation at my house, and I am genuinely happy for you. I have a one year old daughter and still feel very much in the throes of the exciting / baby / early praenthood stage so I can imagine how happy you must be. Congratulations again - I look forward to reading the story of your pregnancy here.
815. Reggie said:
Omigosh congrats Heather and Jon!
Deepest condolences to Chuck. I know he'll be mortally offended that you're bringing another young 'un into his digs...
Coco will be thrilled. As we've come to expect whenever something interesting happens.... like her next breath...

850. Carole King said:
The first thing I thought when I saw this picture is Chuck thinking, "You just peed on this stick didn't you? Oh, the humiliation I go through for cheese." But that was followed quickly by "Wow! That's awesome!" Congratulations and best wishes! How wonderful!

864. katie said:
so exciting. please don't ever stop writing. i can't wait to hear all about it.
865. Candis said:
Is that why you went dark with your hair? I thought something fishy was up. I'm a salon baby (mom owns a salon here in Knoxville) and that's the first question I ask when someone quits getting highlights and color all together. Is she pregnant? :) CONGRATS either way!
866. Kate said:
Yes!
You two make good babies. And that little parasite will keep you warm during Utah's unrelenting winter.
So happy.
867. Beth said:
Fantastic news! Congratulations.
868. Maria said:
Congrats on the new baby!! Now that you will need to lug around a huge diaper bag to accommodate the young babes, you will definitely have no use for that Chelsea Buckle Tote you purchased, so feel free to forward it on to me. I will be happy to take it off your hands!
869. kndaf23 said:
Hey, congratulations!!
Long time reader, this is the first time I'm commenting. Just wanted to say don't be afraid to give the kid a great unusual name, it's character building and at the very least it teaches them how to spell :) Trust me I know.
870. Erin said:
Very excited congratulations to you, Jon and Leta! What wonderful news. I'm sure I speak for hundreds of your other readers when I say that is going to be one lucky little baby. I hope Coco's brain will be able to handle keeping track of another human in your family; Chuck may have to talk her down off the ledge once Blurbodooce Baby #2 gets mobile!
871. Sara said:
Oh my! Just to add my voice to the chorus: CONGRATULATIONS to you and Jon and Leta and Chuck and Coco. Hooray for you guys!
872. Allisone said:
Yay! Wishing much happiness to your growing family!

881. Lea said:
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you have a healthy and wonderful pregnancy and a healthy and beautiful baby. I look forward to seeing pictures of the baby when he/she comes and you have the time to take them...
What does Leta say about having a new baby brother or sister?
882. Danielle said:
Yay! I saw the picture first on blurbomat and then clicked over here.
Congrats! I'm hoping for a boy for y'all, simply to read about Leta's reactions. Is that wrong of me?
