Canuche and I couldn't stop rubbing my belly and telling the little baby that's growing in there how much better the world is going to be when it pops out.
That's right folks, for those of you we haven't been able to talk to, we're PREGNANT!We're due April 7, 2009. Here's a picture of me today at 17 weeks along.
We've been excited since we found out about little Tex, but never more than we are right now.
Our baby will only know an America where an African American with all of Barack Obama's talent and capacity can win the presidency with a firm mandate. What a lucky little baby to grow up in such a hopeful time.
But oh there is still prejudice in our world. It appears that Florida, Arizona and California will all vote to include a ban on same sex marriage in their state constitutions. All of us and our children, Little Tex included, have plenty of work to do to heal our divided nation and bring understanding and tolerance home to roost.
Canuche and I send you love, laughter and hope on this glorious day! Let the change begin! Yes We Can!

WOW!! CONGRATS! I feel the same- after being ignored/neglected for the past 8 years and politicked even before that, it's strange to first HEAR such a historic speech and then actually well-up with real, live, emotion and HOPE. Yay for Virginia and Indiana too!!! He's now bumped W from the "highest popular vote" spot as well (every vote DOES count)! Such promise. Let's hope he stays safe and can get stuff done- it's all about the Senate and Congress now. Miss you- love to Canuche and the Bumpo!!! Keep in touch. xoxoo Didi and Olly
I wouldn't let those people in masks anywhere near your child when he or she arrives!!
It was so nice to spend election night with you both. The 31st Street kids will grow up in a much better world!
Congratulations!
