Why yes, we are!
I guess the blog is one way to announce it, right? Here are the raw details:
Jennie is currently almost 11 weeks pregnant. The doctor says 10 weeks, 2 days. Jennie says 10 weeks, 5 days. Some of you know that both are right, or either could be. I guess both couldn't be right, cause they are actually different time lengths.
Baby's due date is December 25, 2005.
We don't mind it being close to Christmas, not one bit! Many of you know of our miscarriage and all that we learned, and we're really not picky about when our baby is born.
And now, trying to anticipate all your possible comments and questions...
Yes, we're going to find out what gender this child is. The doctor said yesterday at our ultrasound that it's too early to tell anything conclusive.
Yes, we're going to name him or her pretty much right away.
No, we aren't considering names like "Lebron," "Peja," "Wailer," "Gitgan," or "Commish."
No, this will not prevent us from doing our normal Underwood things, like blogs, drafts, or quicktime movies.
Yes, we are excited, Jennie is tired and hungry. Gary is also feeling all of these things along with his wife.
Yes, Allie looks very cute in her two "I'm a big sister" outfits.
No, we are not getting "fixed" after this child. We'd like to have at least one more kid, if God allows that.
Yes, we were hoping to get pregnant. While this was a pleasant surprise, it wasn't really a surprise if you know what I mean.
Yes, you know what I mean.
No, we are not ready to have two kids under the age of 1.5.
Yes, we've known for about six weeks.
No, that picture does not show all the pregnancy tests Jennie took. She actually took five, and - since 3 out of 5 is a majority, we figured she might actually have a baby on board.
Yes, this is a pretty exciting time for the Underwood clan, and the hits just keep on coming. Let's re-cap the last 12 months in Underwood land, shall we?

Congratulations, Underwoods! Outstanding news!
Congrats! I actually saw this picture on your flickr account when I was scrolling back through your uploaded pics and wondered if possibly you were expecting. I was just waiting for you to post. Very exciting! Best wishes!
It's OK if you choose not to use Commish for your name because we are saving it for our first-born son. But how about Commie?
And by the way, the purchase of a new grill is definitely an important part of any family timeline!
