My pledge to you:
- No creepy tickers with mutant floating pixel fetus (no offense to others who enjoy them)
- No complaining about how "fat" I am, etc.
- No belly pics (I will post pictures of my cat's tummies, if asked, however)
- No lengthy discussion of fancy baby crap (I may crow if I find some cool junk used)
- No self-righteous shit about birth plans, attachment parenting, breastfeeding, whatever.

soo many ppl find those floating baby tickers creepy! hee hee but I still like mine :)
yay 2nd trimester! congrats! so happy for you :)
thank you for not having one of those creepo tickers!!! honestly, when i finally get my BFP i will NOT do that to the bloggosphere.
i would, however, love to see photos of the kitty's bellies. that would be too cute!
congrats shinejil! i'm so happy for you!
You are cracking me up, Shinejil! : )
Congratulations my dear! What a wonderful (and blessedly boring) update.
And, thanks for having no belly shots other than the kitty or tequila variety, or tickers. I hate to admit that they are still hard to take. Maybe when I'm knocked up well and good, but now, not so much.
well lame, that's what I like to read about!
about the creepy widget, remember me going on and on about it? Yet I put one up as soon as I was pregnant. heh.
Happy 2nd trimester!
Congrats!!! I do so love hearing about folks crossing that ever-elusive 2nd trimester threshold!(almost wrote "semester" - too much schooling here, heh)
UGGG. No floating baby? I am never coming back!
Congrats on the second trimester!!
congratulations lady! cruising right into your 2nd trimester, nice! and kitty bellies sound pretty damn hilarious and adorable, i vote yes!
"Not a perfect parent, but good enough to keep future therapy bills to a minimum."
Right on!
Totally with you on the belly shots (kitties only) and the tickers. Although, I keep getting requests for more pee stick pictures. ;-)
your pledge to yourself is perfect.
of course you should write what you want, and enjoy it.
hooray for the 2nd trimester.
Congratulations on making it into the second trimester - I can't believe how quickly it's going!
And you're right - those floating baby tickers are incredibly creepy!
maybe you can do a creepy ticker for when your tulips are due to bloom?
I vote for postings of your cats' tummies!!! so soft!
anything you write about will be a pleasure to read. I say, no limits!
Happy 2nd trimester!!! I hope it goes by calmly. And I'm cracking up at that last line about future therapy bills.
WOW - it was like five minutes ago I was reading about your BFP. That's such an awesome milestone - go Bruiser!
As to your pledge - I'd like to register one vote for someone who appreciates it. (I'm not really negative about other people's children, either, FTR.) No doubt being infertile can (and should) make you appreciate parenting even more, but I'm not sure going crazy sappy is strictly necessary. Nobody who is crazy sappy now appreciated it when they were miserable...so you sort of splinter your community if you rubber-band too far in the other direction, I think. I appreciate the people who are pretty much the same people on both sides of the Rubicon.
I will say, I only mind the baby tickers because I can never figure out whether that's a child in utero or ex utero.
Am interested in seeing cat tummy pictures and especially interested in pictures of any cool junk you find used.
Happy 2nd trimester!
I didn't want to bother my blog readers so I created an unpublished ticker page for myself. No floating fetus though -- they aren't to scale! What good is that?
OMG, you rock! Love this pledge. SO happy you're in your 2nd tri. And crap, does time fly. You've been in my thoughts--thanks for keeping an eye on me too. Yay for Bruiser!
I don't usually leave that many comments on strangers blogs but when I was your pledge items in this post, I couldn't resist leaving a note and saying Thank God.
Those floating babies are creepy and I couldn't care less to read about a looooong internal debate on whether someone should buy the Rondabout or the Marathon carseat.
Thank you for sparing us all.
(Though I do like belly pictures.)
:-)
