Hillbilly Musings: Oh Baby!

Oh Baby!

Literally. At least we think so. Mrs. Hillbilly just took a home pregnancy test (probably the 7th in four months) and it says,"Yes +". So it looks like there may be a Sprout to run around with Spud come August or September! Holy schnikies! That's all I can type right now. Still in shock and...um...wow! Off to celebrate... who to call first... and you, dear readers are the first to hear the news!

MadPriest said...: Brilliant news, you two.
Now, Hillbilly, you put your feet up and let Mrs Hillbilly look after you for the next seven months. Pregnancy can be a very stressful time and you mustn't overdo things. Take it easy. You will need all your strength for when Mrs H gives birth.; January 17, 2009 at 5:35 AM

June Butler said...: Great news, Hillbilly! Don't listen to MadPriest. Give Mrs Hillbilly all the TLC you can manage. But you know the drill. This is not the first Hillbilly sprout.; January 17, 2009 at 9:02 AM
MadPriest said...: Don't listen to Mimi! She is not as impartial as she makes out. When she was younger she used to be a woman just like Mrs H.; January 17, 2009 at 9:25 AM

Rules of engagement

Rule of Engagement... :)
Before we go any further here, I want to lay down some ground rules. As long as everyone follows these, we're golden. If you don't you will be zapped.
1. Remain civil. Mamma always says "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!" If you find yourself getting angry by something I say, or something someone else posts, step back, breathe, say a prayer, then continue.
2. This is a Christian blog, so no profanity. I'll even zap my own posts if they break this rule.
3. All viewpoints are welcome, however see rule #1. I welcome all to post as they feel lead by the Spirit, but I will not tolerate rudeness or abuse in any form. Other than these three simple rules, Welcome Aboard!
